Large object writes can get delayed
For large objects (greater than three segments), the write does not complete until both:
- Slower site is within three segments of completing.
- Faster site has completed.
There is a compromise between competing objectives:
- If either site is available for the entire write the write must succeed.
- Writes should proceed at the speed of the fastest site.
Both requirements cannot be met without an "infinite" amount of memory on the Accesser Node.
