How do you drop P?
- helge9210 5y agoYou just assume network partition is never happening. If calls are synchronous, assume they always reach other side and finish. If async, also assume successful outcome immediately after initiating the call. This "almost always" works.
- perlgeek 5y agoThat's the point, you can't. Put quite many people say "you cannot have all three of Conistency, Available, Partition Tolerance", which sounds like you can keep any two / drop one at will. But the right starting point is: "Partitions will happen. When they do, do you drop A or C?"
