  See the CAP theorem [0]. Disque is designed to guarantee availability and partition tolerance, which according to CAP means Disque cannot guarantee atomic consistency (the C in CAP is not quite the same as either the A and C in ACID [1]) between nodes. No atomic consistency means no guarantee of a single action to single response correspondence, which means race conditions are possible.
