That's not entirely true, since what you describe isn't a CP system. The client is a part of the system!
It is possible to have the client be part of the consensus algorithm and guarantee exactly once delivery, but the latency gets quite high.
- antirez 12y agoAre you assuming the client will eventually recover here? Or that clients are in general able to "lock" the resource before doing some work? Because otherwise, imagine a client may crash and will never recover again, and you have clients sending a beam of electrons in some device, without feedbacks about the beam output. Each client is a device that can send the beam. If the client will never restart again, even with all the cooperation and consensus, there is no way to know if the beam of electrons was generated or not.
