Description: Quorum Consistency is a consistency level in distributed systems, particularly in databases. This consistency model requires that a minimum number of replicas, known as a quorum, respond to a read or write operation to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data. In practical terms, this means that for an operation to be considered successful, it must be confirmed by more than half of the available replicas. This approach helps mitigate issues such as data loss and inconsistent reads, especially in environments where network or hardware failures are common. Quorum Consistency sits between strong consistency and eventual consistency, offering a balance between availability and data accuracy. It is particularly relevant in applications that require high availability and where fault tolerance is crucial. By implementing this model, developers can ensure that critical operations are performed reliably, even in adverse situations.
