It should entirely change how you think about data storage. What's stunning to me is the number of people who are stuck on "Fully ACID, fully RDMS or it's crap and you will fail and deservedly so."
- ibsulon 18y agoIt all depends on what your goal is. In health care applications? In financial applications? I would never trust anything less than fully acid with all the bells and whistles. In a website where people aren't going to be that bothered of a few transactions are inconsistent if some major snafu happens? (status updates get lost in the ether, for example.) The cost isn't worth the benefit of high power. RDMS is a similar tradeoff.
