Eventual Consistency
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a replicated database, the consistency level defines whether and how the values of the replicas of a logical object may diverge in the presence of updates. Eventual consistency is the weakest consistency level that guarantees convergence. Informally, it requires that all replicas of an object will eventually reach the same, correct, final value, assuming that no new updates are submitted to the object.

Eventual Consistent Databases: State of the Art
One of the challenges of cloud programming is to achieve the right balance between the availability and consistency in a distributed database. Cloud computing environments, particularly cloud databases, are rapidly increasing in importance, acceptance and usage in major applications, which need the partition-tolerance and availability for scalability purposes, but sacrifice the consistency side...
متن کاملWrites: the dirty secret of causal consistency
Causal consistency offers geo-distributed systems what ought to be a sweet option between the poor performance of strong consistency and the weak guarantees of eventual consistency. Yet, despite its appealing properties, causal consistency has seen limited adoption in industry, where systems have instead been clustering around the two extremes of eventual and strong consistency. We argue that t...

متن کاملPrinciples of Eventual Consistency
In globally distributed systems, shared state is never perfect. When communication is neither fast nor reliable, we cannot achieve strong consistency, low latency, and availability at the same time. Unfortunately, abandoning strong consistency has wide ramifications. Eventual consistency, though attractive from a performance viewpoint, is challenging to understand and reason about, both for sys...
متن کاملClosing The Performance Gap between Causal Consistency and Eventual Consistency
It is well known that causal consistency is more expensive to implement than eventual consistency due to its requirement of dependency tracking and checking for causality. To close the performance gap between the two consistency models, we propose a new protocol that implements causal consistency for both partitioned and replicated data stores. Our protocol trades the visibility latency of upda...
