Of course they will. Eventual consistency is a huge tradeoff that I don't think anyone would make if they weren't forced to.
- jamesblonde 10y agoMaybe something like this - 1 million ops/sec on HDFS: http://www.logicalclocks.com/index.php/2016/10/14/hops-smashes-hadoop-record-over-1-million-operations-per-second/ http://www.logicalclocks.com/index.php/2016/10/14/hops-smash...
- yandie 10y agoThen you trade availability with consistency. No system can't escape CAP
- kevan 10y agoExactly. Availability and partition tolerance are often hard requirements, so we have to do all sorts of gymnastics to deal with eventual consistency. In personal projects where availability isn't a big concern and my most precious resource is my own time I tend to make different tradeoffs.
