A general thanks to aphyr for exploring all of these kinds of issues in distributed datastores at a level where someone without a lot of database knowledge can understand and reason through. If anyone hasn't read his Jepsen series and is interested in these kinds of things, it is well worth a read.

Of course, I wouldn't read it if you store very important data in any of the datastores he talks about, you might be scared to learn how your system actually operates =).

P.S. - The Spanner link is broken, you have some invisible character being added to the end, gets encoded to %E2%80%8E
