Edit: from rqlite's FAQ
> Raft is a Consistency-Partition (CP) protocol. This means that if a rqlite cluster is partitioned, only the side of the cluster that contains a majority of the nodes will be available.
Disconcertingly, this sounds like they assume that only one side of a partition can contain a majority of nodes. This isn't true if the partition is partial, eg A<-->B, B<-->C, A<-/->C.
