CockroachDB fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery

Fault Tolerance

When a node fails, the cluster waits for the node to remain offline for 5 minutes by default before considering it dead, at which point the cluster automatically repairs itself by re-replicating any of the replicas on the down nodes to other available nodes.
