How does Aerospike handles the CAP theorem?


I want to use aerospike in distributed system. Aerospike official documentation says:

The Aerospike system is classified as AP

Can anyone put some light on the same? How Aerospike ensures AP mode in distributed environment.


Solution

  • Aerospike offers both AP mode and Strong Consistency Mode which passes the third party Jepsen Tests. Visit jepsen.io for their take on various distributed databases and specifically about Aerospike here: http://jepsen.io/analyses/aerospike-3-99-0-3
