Hi Jepsen users,
Reduced complexity allows to test systems for hours instead of minutes and check consistency claims during the long-running operations such as reconfiguration, compaction/vacuuming, splitting a single replica set into several shards, live update, taking backups etc.
Of course, the algorithm has some restrictions (e.g. all write operations must have a precondition) but they anyway arise naturally in a concurrent environment and don't limit the applicability.
Cheers,
Denis
