Makes me think: when you scale databases up you always seem to have to loosen up constraints. Similar to how the laws of nature change when you change scale in nature, ie. quantum mechanics when you go really small, or weird laws of nature when you look really far away in the universe.
- RyanMcGreal 16y agoConsistency, Availability, Partition Tolerance: pick any two.
- eagleal 16y agoLooks like our Universe chose the last two.
- Groxx 16y agoI dunno, quantum mechanics / oddness with atomic-and-smaller implies partition tolerance wasn't one of the choices. Maybe Availability was all that was chosen? And it's doomed in a mere some-billion years anyway...
- eagleal 16y agoStill we have to confirm this theories. I just hope I'll be alive when all the Universe physics has been explained (I mean that we can use the found laws and change them knowing every single outcome), and we'll create other Universes.
