Consistency model support

[hackland]

Hello everybody,

I have some questins about the consitency models that Infinispan supports.

I'm new here and i want to understand and use Infinispan for my project.

I read the documentations about MVCC and Locking (https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/ISPN/Locking+and+Concurrency#LockingandConcurrency-Concurrencylevels)

and saw the presentation "Eventual Consistency: Coming Soon in Infinispan by Manik Surtani at JUDCon London"

There are mentioned that Infinispan focused on strong consistency. Eventual Consitency is planed in the future.

Now my questions:

1. Do I have only strong consistency then i use "synchronous distribution mode"? (mentioned in  ISPN-999) What if i change to replication mode?

2. What consitency models can i use with Hibernate OGM?

3. Do you have more information about the consitency in Infinispan?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards

Andrea

We use transactions, or ACID, as consistency model right now.

Re 1. With both really. If you want consistency of multiple operations, use transactions: https://docs.jboss.org/author/x/FAY5

Re 2. Transactions, there's no other yet.

Re 3. See the link in 1.
