readquorum
Readquorum is a consensus algorithm used in distributed systems to ensure data consistency and fault tolerance across multiple nodes. It is a variation of the quorum-based approach, where operations are only considered successful if a sufficient number of nodes acknowledge them. The term "readquorum" specifically refers to the minimum number of nodes required to read data reliably, ensuring that the data returned is up-to-date and consistent with the latest writes.
In a distributed system, nodes may fail or become unavailable, so quorum-based algorithms help maintain availability
Readquorum is often paired with a writequorum, which defines the minimum number of nodes required to acknowledge
Readquorum is commonly implemented in distributed databases, such as Apache Cassandra, where tunable consistency allows administrators
