how does comdb deal with partitions

The paper doesnt say much. Only:

```
A node disconnected from a master
for a prolonged time (ie longer than lease) is unable to serve
any type of request. Further, a network partition leaving no
group as a majority results in a cluster with no master and
all nodes unable to serve any requests.
```

Lets say you have a cluster with 9 nodes.

a partition happens such that, the cluster gets separated into groups of:

1. 5 nodes
2. 3 nodes
3. 1 node

Now after a while of partitioning, each of these 3 clusters will think of themselves as largest and allow transactions over each one.

Once the partition goes, away and all 9 nodes can see each other, what happens to the transactions that were already committed in each of the separate 3 groups?
