The CAP theorem states that when a total partition (a network failure, for | |
example) or a temporary partition (the latency between data replication after a write | |
request, a full GC in the JVM, etc) happens in a distributed system, it has to choose | |
between consistency or availability. If the distributed system picks consistency over | |
availability, it will be unavailable until the partition is fixed. On the other hand, if it | |
picks availability over consistency, it will return a response for a request but this | |
may not contain the most up to date data. |
