CAP theorem and Hibari #1

Closed utsengar closed 11 years ago

utsengar commented 13 years ago

Hello,

I was curious about what you have posted here:http://hibari.sourceforge.net/hibari-sysadmin-guide.en.html#id2571315 regarding the CAP theorem and Hibari and it's CA (but I assume hibari also supports partitioning).

So, my question is:

  1. Can you discuss a little in detail what do you mean when you say Hibari is CA?

More to come!

Very sorry for the late reply. Yes, I agree with you. Hibari is a distributed store and has partition tolerance. Also it always guarantees strong (aka read-after-write) consistency. Therefore I would say Hibari is CP.

I'll correct the Administrator's Guide.
