L17: Consistency Models in Distributed Systems
What does it mean when someone talks about "consistency models", or "relaxed consistency"? Here we review what it means to keep data consistent in a distributed system, covering strict consistency, sequential consistency, FIFO consistency (a.k.a. PRAM consistency), release consistency, and eventual consistency. === This is a lecture from the Distributed Systems class. See www.distributedsystemscourse.com for more information.
