2.17.3.2 Partition Example

For three replicas, R1, R2, R3, we can allocate votes to give different properties depending upon requirements
Replica config 1 config 2 config 3
R1 1 2 1
R2 0 1 1
R3 0 1 1
  1. What should R and W be set to in the three configurations?
  2. What properties result from these configurations?
