I don't see what's different. If you write a QUORUM and read at QUORUM, your read is guaranteed to see a previous write, period. If that cannot be satisfied, the read will fail due to not being able to satisfy QUORUM. What is the actual sequence of events that you are worried about? B going down is not a problem. *By definition*, any two quorum of nodes are overlapping by at least one node. Either a read succeeds and you see the data, or there is no quorum and the read fails. -- / Peter Schuller
