- It appears that the figure is still inconsistent with the text. In particular, the figure seems to indicate that, for a cohort that has ACK'd a pre-commit but not received a do-commit, a timeout will cause a commit to take place. However the text says "In the prepared state, if the cohort receives an abort message from the coordinator, fails, '''or times out waiting for a commit, it aborts.'''"

I wanted to use this article as a brief introduction to the kinds of problems that must

be considered in distributed consensus, but was disappointed by the brevity of the

explanation of how this is an improvement over the two-phase commit. I think the

discussion is fine as a definition for those already familiar with the ___domain, but

needs a little more justification for pedagogical use. I will take a shot at this,

and would welcome improvement from anyone.
