This is just pushing the what-has-committed information to some other party, though, who will presumably face the same problem of requiring a majority for verifiable correctness. This is more or less what most people do in practice... using Paxos for critical state and piggybacking the rest of the system's consistency off of that. Cool. Do you have a URL? I'd be interested in seeing how you diverge from classic paxos. For Ceph's monitor daemon, the main requirements (besides strict correctness guarantees) were scalable (distributed) read access, and a history of state changes. Nothing too unusual. sage --
