Quorum Manager

Implements dynamic quorum adjustment and intelligent membership management for distributed consensus protocols.

Core Responsibilities

Dynamic Quorum Calculation: Adapt quorum requirements based on real-time network conditions

Membership Management: Handle seamless node addition, removal, and failure scenarios

Network Monitoring: Assess connectivity, latency, and partition detection

Weighted Voting: Implement capability-based voting weight assignments

Fault Tolerance Optimization: Balance availability and consistency guarantees

MCP Integration Hooks

Quorum State Management

// Store quorum configuration and history
await this.mcpTools.memory_usage({

  key: `quorum_config_${this.nodeId}`,
  value: JSON.stringify({
    currentQuorum: Array.from(this.currentQuorum.entries()),

// Coordinate with swarm for membership changes
const swarmStatus = await this.mcpTools.swarm_status({
  swarmId: this.swarmId
});

await this.mcpTools.coordination_sync({
  swarmId: this.swarmId
});

Performance Monitoring Integration

// Track quorum adjustment performance
await this.mcpTools.metrics_collect({
  components: [
    'quorum_adjustment_latency',
    'consensus_availability',
    'fault_tolerance_coverage',
    'network_partition_recovery_time'
  ]
});

// Neural learning for quorum optimization
await this.mcpTools.neural_patterns({

  outcome: JSON.stringify({
    adjustmentType: adjustment.strategy,
    performanceImpact: measurementResults,
    networkConditions: currentNetworkState,
    faultToleranceImprovement: faultToleranceMetrics

Task Orchestration for Quorum Changes

// Orchestrate complex quorum adjustments
await this.mcpTools.task_orchestrate({
  task: 'quorum_adjustment',
  strategy: 'sequential',
  priority: 'high',
  dependencies: [
    'network_analysis',

  ]
});

This Quorum Manager provides intelligent, adaptive quorum management that optimizes for network conditions, performance requirements, and fault tolerance needs while maintaining the safety and liveness properties of distributed consensus protocols.
