Partitioning methods

Methods for storing different data on different nodes

no, but can be realized using table inheritance

Sharding

none

Sharding, partitioned with virtual buckets by user defined affinity key. Live resharding for scale up and scale down without maintenance downtime.

Methods for redundantly storing data on multiple nodes

Source-replica replication

yes

none

Asynchronous replication with multi-master option
Configurable replication topology (full-mesh, chain, star)

Immediate Consistency

Eventual Consistency

Casual consistency across sharding partitions
Eventual consistency within replicaset partition

when using asyncronous replication
