Methods for storing different data on different nodes

horizontal partitioning (by key range)

all tables are translated to an ordered KV store and then broken down into 64MB ranges, which are then used as replicas in RAFT

none

Automatic, metric affinity per node

Methods for redundantly storing data on multiple nodes

Source-replica replication

Multi-source replication using RAFT

configurable replication factor, datacenter aware

Methods to ensure consistency in a distributed system

Immediate Consistency

Immediate consistency per node, eventual consistency across nodes

Foreign keys

Referential integrity
