Hey, appreciate the attempt at clearing things up, but I’m afraid your original comment is still quite wrong. It looks like you’re conflating a well-defined term in distributed systems with properties of particular database implementations that have nothing to do with eventual consistency. Nothing in your reply is a necessary property of eventually consistent systems, although some eventually consistent systems may be built with those properties. That is quite a huge difference when we’re in the context of the blog post being discussed. The grayness of your reply should suggest that perhaps you’re misusing the term, rather than everyone else being “confused”.
