It appears that they don't actually understand what the problem is, and are solving it by introducing a situation where the database will just stop working in the face of a partition. Maybe that's not right, but they need to stop hand waving.
A much better solution is being worked on by a Mr. Hellerstein who will be speaking at the upcoming Ricon: http://basho.com/community/ricon2012/ http://basho.com/community/ricon2012/
- nlavezzo 14y agoHi - FoundationDB founder here. I'll point you to a comment thread from a previous HN discussion where my co-founder Dave Scherer addressed how we deal with partitions: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4295770 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4295770 Please let us know if you have any questions this doesn't answer and we'd be happy to answer. Also, if you'd like to actually SEE us deal with a data partition, we can show you that live at Disrupt with the demo cluster we've built :)
