CAP

  • During a network partition, a distributed system must choose between consistency and availability
  • Consistency : Read always get the latest write. (All client see the same data no matter which node they connect to)
  • Availability : Read and Write must works all the time.
  • Partition Tolerance: In a cluster, system continue to operate even if there is a network partition such as some of the node lost or delay.
