One example method includes receiving, by each node in a group of nodes that is organized in a logical hypercube topology, a message from a primary node that is a member of the group of nodes. When none of the nodes in the group of nodes are faulty, for each of 'n' prepare phases and ‘n’ commit phases of a communication protocol, transmitting, by each node to only a first respective pair node, a first group of one or more messages accumulated by the node, receiving, by each node from only a second respective pair node, a second group of one or more messages accumulated by the second respective pair node and, after the ‘n’ prepare phases and ‘n’ commit phases have been completed, each of the nodes has accumulated at least a minimum number of total messages to declare consensus.

One example method includes enabling a user to define a query that comprises a hybrid search syntax (HSS), and the HSS is in the form of a single string that comprises a lexical component and a semantic component, receiving the query from the user, parsing the lexical component and the semantic component into respective groups of one or more sub-components, performing a lexical search based on the sub-components of the lexical component, and performing a semantic search based on the sub-components of the semantic component, ranking, separately from each other, results of the lexical search and results of the semantic search, combining the results of the lexical search and the results of the semantic search to create aggregate results, and re-ranking the aggregate results.
