Once you realize ACID is a set of guarantees around data transitions and not safeness guarantees things become a lot clearer.
@kellabyte it's a crutch for mutable data. A more durable solution is to eliminate concurrency via immutable state/monotonicity ;)

@bascule Fine line. You can have ACID with immutable storage. Commit Log + SSTables, right? -
@kellabyte is the issue postprocessing/indexing of immutable data being added? -
@bascule I dunno, what issue are we talking about? :) -
@kellabyte durability, I thought? ;) Seems like the most durable approach is accept all writes, figure out current state later -
@bascule That's the confusion. D has nothing to do with writing to disk. It's about the result of the TX being visible after TX completes. -
@kellabyte yep. I dream of a transaction-free future ;)
