Given the tunables that Riak has, I would say that its reliability in terms of consistency (as in ACID) are unparalleled. It offers a variety of weak consistency options from eventual consistency, to strong eventual consistency, to strong consistency*.
In terms of fault-tolerance, it is interesting. Riak hides faults in funny ways where other databases would degrade. It instead does a really good job of hiding faults. This can be problematic, because often the signal for a database degrading can be "the website is flakey". * This is "experimental" On Thu, Jan 14, 2016 at 12:07 AM, Russell Brown <russell.br...@me.com> wrote: > > > On 14 Jan 2016, at 07:05, j.halif...@seznam.cz wrote: > > Hi All, > > > I am a member of the community for about a year to understand reliability of > Riak. > > What I can see here is that there are some problems which could prevent > using > > it in a project which require high reliability.
