What CAP-Type does LevelDB(RocksDB) have?

During the evaluation of several distributed systems I came across the CAP-Theorem. Unfortunately I can't find a classification for LevelDB or to be more specific RocksDB.

Here is the actual question: What kind of cap-type is LevelDB/RocksDB and why?

Solution

  • LevelDB and RocksDB are not distributed databases. Hence, Brewer's CAP Theorem is inapplicable.
