Hi Alisher,

At first I assume the discussion need to be moved to user-forum (
u...@ignite.apache.org).

If you have 2 backups (in case you have enough nodes) this mean you can
loose 2 node, without afraid to loose data. In case you have a fail more
than the 2 nodes, it is mean you have incomplete(only part of data has
available) data.

In general, If you are loosing more nodes than backups you are have, this
must be signal: "These inconsistent!".

Also you can divided your nodes by specification: group of backups and
group of primary, using RendezvousAffinityFunction#setAffinityBackupFilter.
