Default ACID transactions on the local node (eventually consistent across the cluster). Atomic operations with cluster-wide ACID transactions. Eventual consistency for indexes and full-text search indexes.

Immediate Consistency

based on HBase

Foreign keys

Referential integrity

yes

typically not used, however similar functionality with DBRef possible

Support to ensure data integrity after non-atomic manipulations of data

Atomic execution of operations

ACID

Multi-document ACID Transactions with snapshot isolation

ACID, Cluster-wide transaction available

Support for concurrent manipulation of data

yes

Durability

Support for making data persistent

yes

optional, enabled by default
