Problems with CAP
Michael Stonebraker’s clarifications on the CAP theorem reminded me of Daniel Abadi’s PACELC:
To me, CAP should really be PACELC – if there is a partition (P) how does the system tradeoff between availability and consistency (A and C); else (E) when the system is running as normal in the absence of partitions, how does the system tradeoff between latency (L) and consistency (C)?
