1. reply part is missing. 2. It is confusing a little bit. I would not use term "synchronous". Everything is asynchronous here. Coordinator writes data to all local nodes and waits for response from ANY two of them (in case of quorum). In your picture it looks like the coordinator first makes decision what nodes should reply. It is not correct.
