actually I watched the video and the errors happend here are more cultural errors.
I guess the switch is more like a "we failed, so we start new".
and new means with something different.
also their replication strategy looked like a joke and not enough automation. hopefully they never use galera, else their bad engeering practices could actually suffer in huge data losses.
I've once run galera-cluster and it pretty easy came to data losses especially after short network splits which occured randomly at the network.
