Hi, Sage and all Cepher I am reading Ceph's implementation of paxos and have a question about it. The question is given by an example below: Assume there are 5 monitor nodes: n1, n2, n3, n4, n5. 1) Node n1 is the leader, all nodes are synchroined with Last_committed=100, and there is no pending operation; 2) A client, say c1, sends a request R1 to n1; 3) Node n1 proposes a value v(for R1) with log version 101, stores version 101 and pending_v =101 in its db. But it goes down before sending anything to other nodes; Note: only n1 has pending_v == 101. 4) Node n2 becomes the leader(without n1) and the cluster become active. Client c1 querys n2 for status, and the result shows R1 is lost; 5) Node n1 recovers and becomes leader again; 6) Node n1 finds pending_v == 101 and log version 101, so R1 get replicated and applied; 7) Client C1 queries again, and finds R1 has been applied. ==>inconsitent with the result of 4) Am I right on this point?
