docs: Issue on page Consistency Level Calculator
bhalevy opened this issue · comments
I would like to report an issue on page https://opensource.docs.scylladb.com/branch-5.4/cql/consistency-calculator
Problem
How is it possible that e.g, with Nodes=3, RF=3,
- READ_CL=QUORUM, WRITE_CL=QUORUM guarantees consistent reads, while
- READ_CL=ALL, WRITE_CL=QUORUM guarantees only eventually consistent reads?
It is true that the later has lower availability since losing a node will return an error, but a successful read will always be consistent.
Suggest a fix
READ_CL=ALL should always guarantee consistent reads for any WRITE_CL != ANY
@tgrabiec am I hallucinating? :)
I think you're right, {READ_CL=ALL, WRITE_CL=QUORUM} should be consistent, since the read set always overlaps with any past write set.
