All: we've changed the submitted URL from https://www.infoq.com/news/2020/05/Jepsen-MongoDB-4-2-6 to the work it is reporting on. You might want to read both, since the infoq.com article does give a bit of background.

Edit: never mind, I think the other URL - http://jepsen.io/analyses/mongodb-4.2.6 - deserves a more technical thread, so will invite aphyr to repost it instead. It had a thread already (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23191439) but despite getting a lot of upvotes, failed to make the front page (http://hnrankings.info/23191439/). I have no idea why—there were no moderation or other penalties on it. Sometimes HN's software produces weird effects as the firehose of content tries to make it through the tiny aperture of the frontpage.
