@bascule A paper a couple of years ago purported to prove that ACID is not the bane of a distributed DB, but actually not strong enough.

@eachus funny thing, CRDTs and other (semi)lattice structures used in eventually consistent systems have formal guarantees (without locking) -
@bascule CRDT also has some pretty strict limitations. -
@eachus it does, however Riak 2.0 added transactions and strong consistency too. k/v is still limiting though -
@bascule I understand. My point was that there is evidence that you don't actually need to sacrifice consistency to availability. -
@eachus no there isn't. It's formally proven you have to -
@bascule I understand the CAP theorem. -
@eachus evidently you don't. Read Brewer's paper - 5 more replies
