This is exactly what I needed - not a lot of people are doing eventually inconsistent databases yet. If theres a network partition, shits probably fucked anyways so its best to throw away all your data.
Unfortunately the metadata (list of files) is stored in memory, not network. Not quite as unreliable as I would like.

- DarronWyke 9y agoObligatory: "Tokutek claims to improve MongoDB performance 20x. It is unclear if this also means losing 20x as many documents."
- dragonwriter 9y agoEventually inconsistent databases could save a lot of the effort developers faced with databases without inconsistency guarantees put into implementing eventual inconsistency at the application level.
