Don’t Settle for Eventual: Scalable Causal Consistency for Wide-Area Storage with COPS
Wyatt Lloyd, Michael J. Freedman, Michael Kaminsky, and David G. Andersen, ”Don’t Settle for Eventual: Scalable Causal Consistency for Wide-Area Storage with COPS,” SOSP, 2011. [PDF] Summary This paper introduces a new consistency model, causal+, that extends the causal consistency model and lies between sequential and causal consistency models. The authors claim that causal+ is the ...
