Eventual Consistency (cont)

If different nodes have different versions of data
  • conflicts arise, and need to be resolved (when noticed)
  • need to decide which node has "the right value"
Levels of consistency (from Cassandra system)
  • ONE: at least one node has committed change   (weakest)
  • QUORUM: at least half nodes holding data have committed
  • ALL: changes propagated to all copies   (strongest)
