Comment on A proposal for more reliable locks using Redisparent

Comments

That could increase throughput if you have a lot of crashing nodes but how does it improve safety or reliability?

Safety? It doesn't. Reliability? because it would prevent another node from acquiring a held lock if a server is available and release a lock if a server goes down.

There would never be a dirty read possible.
