I forget the product, but more than a decade ago I remember someone broke out their durability into a table with columns for all the settings their data store offered between “ram on one node” and “fsync confirmed on a quorum of nodes’ disks” and rows for example failure cases ranging from “unexpected reboot of one machine” to “catastrophic loss of quorum-1 machines”. Cells were data loss risks from “prevented” to “possible” to “likely”. That was very helpful when choosing durability levels. | ||
