It is now official. Gigaom has confirmed: eventual consistency is dying: http://gigaom.com/2013/11/02/next-gen-nosql-the-demise-of-eventual-consistency/ …
@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 -
@bascule Apparently you aren't interested in what they had to say. Never mind. -
@eachus lots of crackpots in this space (much like crypto) - 3 more replies

@bascule Is anybody using it in a commercial application yet? I was referring to widely used NoSQL implementations. -
