Towards Quantifiable Eventual Consistency

Abstract

In the pursuit of highly available systems, storage systems began offering eventually consistent data models. These models are suitable for a number of applications but not applicable for all. In this paper we discuss a system that can offer a eventually consistent data model but can also, when needed, offer a strong consistent one.
