Cassandra, Zookeeper and Kafka didn't shit the bed.


On Cassandra, some CQL collection operations behaved well (adding elements to a set). Everything else Kyle tested there was demonstrated to lose data.

Kafka lost data all over the place under Jepson; though Kyle offered great respect to the team and expects them to deliver optionally configured safer semantics (at a performance cost) in future releases.

Riak was totally solid when using CRDTs and turning off the insane LWW default.


Kafka did lose a lot of data in the Jepsen test, as it will by design to preserve availability under some specific circumstances.

The behavior in question will be configurable from Kafka 0.8.2, by setting "unclean.leader.election.enable" to false.
