[jira] Commented: (CASSANDRA-132) Support session level consistency

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-132?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12705729#action_12705729 ] 

Sandeep Tata commented on CASSANDRA-132:
----------------------------------------

Point to note: today, it is possible (even on a single node) that you do an insert followed by a get_column, and you *don't* read the latest value you inserted. The insert is sent as a RowMutationMessage to the endpoints (even if one of them is local) and acked (in the non-blocking variation). It is possible that this message is not received before the next get_column message is processed.

> Limited session-level consistency: if the client connects to a node and performs operations on rows that are local to that node, we should be able to guarantee read-your-writes consistency. If the session ends because of a failure, and the client has to reconnect, you only provide eventual consistency across the sessions.
> (This is a common practical variation of evantual consistency, see: http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2008/12/eventually_consistent.html for context.)
