InfluxDB Clustering Design – Neither CP or AP

Thanks, Paul.

My advice to you is to (a) model in TLA+. Writeup seems fine but, as you note, distribution is non-trivial (since intuition does not sufficiently/effectively inform the mental model). (2) do not rely on monotonic nanosecs from Go runtime. Only usec level precision is guaranteed monotonic. (3) if you don't own the client you are open to byzantine failure.

The issue is not Go (though imo they should update the doc to share the esoterica): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4801122/how-to-stop-time-...
