Consistency wise yes, but not durability wise. Writing to QUOROM but reading at ONE is useful if you want higher durability guarantees, but is fine with inconsistent reads. In other words, if you want to avoid loosing data if a node completely blows up and its data becomes irrevocably lost forever. (The data that would be lost would be data written at ONE that only reached that node, and no others.) -- / Peter Schuller
