Disclosed are various embodiments for distributing data items. A plurality of nodes forms a distributed data store. A new master candidate is determined through an election among the plurality of nodes. Before performing a failover from a failed master to the new master candidate, a consensus is reached among a locality-based failover quorum of the nodes. The quorum excludes any of the nodes that are in a failover quorum ineligibility mode.
