Generalized Consensus: Defining the Problem

Hi HN, this is a series on a way to generalize consensus protocols and how to adapt them to existing systems. I've released two parts so far. They explain the problem and the requirements. You can follow the link to the second part from the first part.

One of our goals is to make this work for Postgres via Multigres. But the principles can be used to implement your own solutions also. This will make Durability and High Availability more accessible for users.

I'll post here as I release the subsequent parts.
