Atomic operations in Riak?
Question
I've searched around to figure out whether or not PUT
operations are atomic in Riak. Are they?
Solution
Riak is an eventually consistant system with absolutely no concept of anything atomic.
Probably the best resource for explaining this is our page on the subject: http://wiki.basho.com/Eventual-Consistency.html
