If a database advertises attributes that aren't a part of its default setup, you can expect its docs to make it very simple and clear how to get them.
If not, that's misrepresentation.
- lmilcin 6y agoThe documentation states that very clearly and the attributes are part of every call to the database (as long as you are using native driver). In any case any person that has some experience with distributed systems will understand what it roughly means to get an acknowledgment from just a single node vs. waiting for the majority. Oracle also does not use serializable as its default isolation level, yet it advertises it. This is all part of the product functionality. Whenever you evaluate product for your project you have to understand various options, functionalities and their tradeoffs. Defaults don't mean shit. In a complex clustered product you need to understand all important knobs to decide the correct settings and configurable guarantees are most important knobs there are.
