Methods for redundantly storing data on multiple nodes

none

Using Raft consensus algorithm to ensure data replication with strong consistency among multiple replicas.

Synchronous replication based on Galera library

yes, but depending on the SQL-Server Edition

Offers an API for user-defined Map/Reduce methods

Consistency concepts

Methods to ensure consistency in a distributed system

none

Immediate Consistency

Foreign keys

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

yes

only for local storage and DOM-storage

yes

isolated transactions for atomic changes and binary logging for safe writes
