Abstract

Eventually consistent storage systems give up the ACID semantics of conventional databases in order to gain better scalability, higher availability, and lower latency. A side-effect of this design decision is that application developers must deal with stale or out of order data. As a result, substantial intellectual effort has been devoted to studying the behavior of eventually consistent systems, in particular finding quantitative answers to the questions "how eventual" and "how consistent"?
