The Tree Quorum Protocol: An Efficient Approach for Managing Replicated Data
Summary: Presents Tree Quorum Protocol with a logical tree over replicas; reads take one copy, writes remain fault-tolerant. Graceful degradation: minimal comms in failure-free mode; costs rise with failures to preserve data-wide fault-tolerance. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
