latency vs.consistency

informed by practice

our focus:

availability, partitions,failures

not in this talk:

quantify eventual consistency:wall-clock time (“how eventual?”)versions (“how consistent?”)

analyze real-world systems:EC is often strongly consistentdescribe when and why

Cassandra:R=W=1, N=3

eventual consistency

“maximum performance”

“very lowlatency”

okay for “most data”

“general case”

in the wild

anecdotally, EC“good enough” for many kinds of data

How eventual?How consistent?

“eventual and consistent enough”

Probabilistically Bounded Staleness

can’t make promisescan give expectations

Can we do better?

introsystem model


integration

HowHow long do I have to wait?

eventual?

t-visibility: probability p of consistent reads after t seconds

(e.g., 10ms after write, 99.9% of reads consistent)

How eventual?
