Linearizability Violations in Cassandra

Examine linearizability violations in Cassandra through scenarios involving partial failures, network delays, and read repair mechanisms. Understand how these affect consistency guarantees in distributed data stores and the trade-offs involved in real-world system design.

We'll cover the following...

It is important to note that operations on a single row are not linearizable by default, even when using majority quorums.

To understand why it is useful to learn how Cassandra handles partial failures and network delays. Let’s examine two different scenarios.

Without read repair

In this scenario, we assume that read repair is not used. The system consists ...
