Radim Vansa created ISPN-5016:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Specify and document cache consistency guarantees
                 Key: ISPN-5016
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-5016
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Documentation-Core
    Affects Versions: 7.0.2.Final
            Reporter: Radim Vansa
            Priority: Critical


We can't simply use the consistency model defined by Java Specification and broaden it for whole cache (maybe the expression "can't" is too strong, but we definitely don't want to do that in some cases).

By consistency guarantees/model I mean mostly in which order are 
writes allowed to be observed: and we can't boil it down to simply 
causal, PRAM or any other consistency model as writes can be observed as non-atomic in Infinispan.

Infinispan documentation is quite scarce about that, the only trace I've 
found is in Glossarry [2] "Infinispan has traditionally followed ACID 
principles as far as possible, however an eventually consistent mode 
embracing BASE is on the roadmap."
