Add a more pragmatic FAQ on network scenarios
Here are some questions that often come up:
- if one runs rethinkdb on multiple nodes, is fault tolerance built in?
- can i read/write to various nodes at the same time?
- is rethinkdb eventually-consistent?
- is multi-datacenter replication supported?
- can insertion/deletion/reads be done on separate nodes?
- can insertion/deletion/reads be done on separate nodes during network partitioning?
- what happens when a master dies? does it automatically pick a new master?
- what happens when the master comes back up?
We already have the answers in http://rethinkdb.com/docs/architecture/, but it takes some reading to get to them. We should have a more straight forward faq/answers to these questions so we don't have to answer them over and over again.
Also, this is loosely related to #10.
