I don't have time at the moment to respond in more detail, I'm afraid, but you should find this blog series quite useful.

I will use the Python API to write code examples: Imagine we are building a web app like twitter, and we want fast read (although not need to be consistent) and safe writings, this R/W combination is appropriate? bucket = client.bucket('twits') bucket.r = 1 bucket.w = 3 # OR bucket.set_property('r', 1) bucket.set_property('w', 3) Which method is better to use? or are just exactly the same? Imagine that in this new case, we want to focus on writing fast (normally we will write more "twits" than read them)... which would be the most appropriate/suggested quorums? Also, what's really the difference between "r" and "pr"? what is a "primary replica"? If i set up bucket.w = 1, it will still do the 3 copies (n_val) in the background but will reply "true" once 1 copy is saved, right?
