the key is what alex said: p1 can be committed or dropped. it was not delivered to a quorum. (if it was, it must be delivered to everyone.) it wasn't skipped. it would be skipped if a new leader did not deliver it and proposed new messages. thus, since it isn't delivered or skipped, skipping it or

hi, i'm a new to zookeeper, and this problem confuses me for nearly two months... papers tell me that zab must satisfy: A message delivered by one sever must be delivered on quorum. A message skipped must always be skipped. Then consider two cases below, L is short for leader, F is short for follo
