Ted, your suggested flow guaranteed the update sequence to succeed or fail 
completely. It is under the assumption that zookeeper requester is stable 
enough. what if a server restart occur in the update sequence, no abort or 
proceed action can be done. I'm just curious how to handle this kinds of dirty 
data.

As I mentioned, you can keep state in the disk as an echo of the diskPair. 
If you don't mind a small delay after constructing the pair, then you can 
just rely on the copy in the disk structure and never refer to the version 
in the diskPair. 

The other transitions that you describe can easily be implemented on that 
same basis.
