Yes. For log data, it's simply a matter of reading from a replica peer of the down node.

For transaction resolution it's a bit easier if you are able to assume more about the storage layer's semantics.

For example, if you store versioned values for some bounded period of time (ala MVCC), you can go to other replicas for the version required to resolve a transaction, removing the restriction that transaction resolution must proceed in lock-step across all nodes, and allows transaction reads to route to live peers assuming they have the required version of each read dependency.
