Abstract
When a request is received to perform a data operation requiring an interaction with any one of multiple data replicas stored on one or more data storage devices and managed by a quorum-based data management protocol in which completion of a data update is reported to an initiator of the data update when acceptance of the data update is reported by a majority of the data replicas, the data operation is routed to be performed using one of a predefined minority of the data replicas if the data operation requires less than strong consistency, is a read-only data operation, and meets a predefined criterion of being computationally time-intensive or computationally resource-intensive, or routed to be performed using a predefined majority of the data replicas if the data operation requires strong consistency or requires a data write operation or does not meet the predefined criterion.
