"So, the CAP Theorem says that you can only have one of C, A, and P. Which are you sacrificing?
HyperDex is designed to operate within a single datacenter. The CAP Theorem holds only for asynchronous environments, and well-administered datacenters enable us to sidestep this tradeoff entirely."
I'd like to see how they pull that off when a node goes down. I guess in "well-administered" data centers, nodes don't go down.
Sounds like they're sacrificing "A" to me because they're doing synchronous replication.
