Comment on Coordination Avoidance in Database Systems [pdf]parentComments−seanmcdirmid11yAh...you might be interested in Glitch, also a system (from a PL rather than DB perspective) based on eventual consistency:http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/211297/onward14.pdfThe idea is to let computations proceed uncoordinated, build a dependency graph, and then "fix" computations that read stale information by re-executing them (like transactions, except retry is automatic and effects are undone after re-execution).
