Abstract
A system and method is described for use with a data grid cluster, for supporting service level quorum in the data grid cluster. The data grid cluster includes a plurality of cluster nodes that support performing at least one service action. A quorum policy, defined in a cache configuration file associated with the data grid cluster, can specify a minimum number of service members that are required in the data grid cluster for performing the service action. The data grid cluster uses the quorum policy to determine whether the service action is allowed to be performed, based on a present state of the plurality of cluster nodes in the data grid cluster.
