Linearizability Guarantees by Cassandra

Explore how Cassandra ensures linearizability guarantees using its SERIAL consistency level. Understand its implementation through a four-phase Paxos protocol that manages conditional read and write operations, enabling lightweight transactions for consistent distributed data storage.

Cassandra has another consistency level that provides linearizability guarantees. This level is called SERIAL, and the read/write operations executed in this level are also referred to as lightweight transactions LWTs.
