System Design
Why is 'Consistency' in CAP a different concept than 'Consistency' in ACID?
A
They are exactly the same concept with no meaningful difference
B
CAP's Consistency specifically means every read gets the most recent write (or an error); ACID's Consistency refers to database invariants/constraints always holding — they're different, specific technical definitions that happen to share a name
C
ACID doesn't actually have a Consistency guarantee
D
CAP's Consistency only applies to single-node databases
