 Another attractive quality about etcd is the ability to continue serving (albeit stale) read queries even when a consensus cannot be reached, allowing the cluster to enter a semi-failed state where it cannot accept writes, but it will serve reads. This kind of graceful service degradation is very useful for a read-heavy system, such as DNS.
