Comment on SenseiDB: Open-source, distributed, realtime, semi-structured databaseparent

Where does that page claim perfect ACID semantics? It's meant to describe what Sensei gives you for each aspect of ACID.

And they're all well and good features! I can tell SenseiDB isn't transactional. Like I said, I skimmed the source and understand at a high level what it's does. I could see it being very useful in certain conditions as LinkedIn currently does and I'm sure others will.

However, I think the copy is confusing (at least it was for me). On the guarantees page there's an "ACID-ity" headline. For each aspect of ACID, as you say, the page describes what Sensei offers. The confusing part was that I was mentally comparing each aspect against what I understand to be the common semantics of ACID. I think it would be more clear if there was some distinction under the main headline that acknowledges this difference.

hth!
