There is no n-1 CL. The numbered levels are ONE,TWO,THREE. There has been some talk of this. By pairing READ/WRITE levels you can normally get an effect "close enough" to what you are looking for. In your case QUORUM will write and read with a single FAILED node. Also if your lookup tables are not changing often not having n-1 is negligible.
