Eventual Consistency and Data Quality Metrics in NoSQL Databases
Eventual consistency is a consistency model used in distributed systems, particularly in NoSQL databases. Unlike strong consistency, which guarantees that every read receives the most recent write, eventual consistency allows for temporary inconsistencies. This means that if you write data to one node in a distributed database, it might take some time for that update to propagate to all other nodes. During this period, different clients might read different versions of the data.
