@@ -32,12 +32,21 @@ As you see in ``etc/default.ini`` there is a section
called [cluster]
When creating a database you can send your own values with request and
thereby override the defaults in ``default.ini``.
-The number of copies of a document with the same revision that have to be read
-before CouchDB returns with a ``200`` is equal to a half of total copies of
-the document plus one. It is the same for the number of nodes that need to
-save a document before a write is returned with ``201``. If there are less
-nodes than that number, then ``202`` is returned. Both read and write numbers
-can be specified with a request as ``r`` and ``w`` parameters accordingly.
+In clustered operation, a quorum must be reached before CouchDB returns a 200
Review comment:
Probably good idea to wrap status codes with tick marks as before:
``200``
vs
200
