What CAP really says:
- if you cannot constrain your faults in any way,
- and your requests can be directed at any server,
- and you insist on serving every request,
- then you cannot possibly be consistent.
No shortage of systems that preemptively give up on C, A,
and P, especially C
End quote.
I think that's exactly correct.
Which leaves me with a nearly impossible problem. But it sure is fun to work on!
