From 18f3835b70df7b48d775ae645100fd19e29c0f54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: zanemayo Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2017 09:26:50 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Change AP wording I think that the description for AP should be changed. It currently says that the most recent version of the data might not be the latest. The explanation of Consistency uses the same word, recent. I have changed AP to qualify 'recent' as being the most recent data available on the node --- README.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index c9164c71..f084fa85 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -456,7 +456,7 @@ Waiting for a response from the partitioned node might result in a timeout error #### AP - availability and partition tolerance -Responses return the most recent version of the data, which might not be the latest.

Writes might take some time to propagate when the partition is resolved. AP is a good choice if the business needs allow for [eventual consistency](#eventual-consistency) or when the system needs to continue working despite external errors.
