Thanks for replying. Here is another question that may help clarify some things: Availability: Each client can always read and write. Consistency: All clients always have the same view of the data. Partition Tolerance: The system works well despite physical network partitions. The saying goes: "Pick two." Are you implying that you can pick three with your system? When you say 'Data resides in memory with lock-free data structures' I feel like the trade-off is consistency-- data becomes eventually consistent. What are your thoughts?
