- duaneb 13y agoIt's no less applicable. During a partition (you know, the 'P' in CAP) it's a nightmare to identify data that's been dropped AND recover from it without strong transaction guarantees. Transactions are the heart of consistency and I wouldn't consider a piece of software to be CAP consistent as opposed to available without transactions.
