Hiya,

Quorum is a pluggable module. If you use the quorum.h API then your 
application will work regardless of which quorum provider is loaded. If 
you use the votequorum API then the votequorum module must be the quorum 
provider that is loaded.

Currently there are three quorum providers:

votequorum
YKD
testquorum

testquorum is (as it says) just a test - it can flip the quorum state 
based on an objdb value, but the other two provide quorum services in 
very different ways. I cant say much more than that as I know nothing 
about YKD ;-)

We hope there will be more in the future to fulfil various needs.
