- eatonphil 6mo agoThe Accord developers mostly work at Apple so it would seem Apple at least wants/needs ACID transactions for Cassandra.
- mrkeen 6mo agoIt would certainly be a boon if Cassandra did better ACID than everyone's favourite SQL DBs (which are unknowingly running on read_committed). It's a good sign that they've got bank account balance updates in the example code in the Accord github (sibling comment), as that's what I reach for if I suspect my DB is only pretending to be ACID.
