Abstract
Data replication groups may be used to store data in a distributed computing environment. A data replication group may include a set of nodes executing a consensus protocol to maintain data durably. In order to increase efficiency and performance of the data replication, a particular node of the data replication group may be assigned the role of master node. The role of master node may be lease in accordance with a consensus protocol. If the lease is not renewed within an interval of time election/selection of a new master node may be commenced.
