Design a quorum consensus protocol in which, instead of a timestamp field, each item has a version number field, which is updated whenever the item is written.

What will be an ideal response?

The protocol is the same as the one in the text except that each item has a version number field, which is incremented every time the item is written. In any read quorum, the replica with the highest version number is the current value of the item.
