Sharding

based on HBase

Hash and Range Sharding, row-level geo-partitioning

yes, but depending on the SQL-Server Edition

selectable replication factor

based on HBase

Based on Raft distributed consensus protocol, minimum 3 replicas for continuous availability

Strong Consistency is default for entity lookups and queries within an Entity Group (but can instead be made eventually consistent). Other queries are always eventual consistent.

Immediate Consistency

based on HBase

Strong consistency on writes and tunable consistency on reads

yes

via ReferenceProperties or Ancestor paths

yes

Transaction concepts

yes

Durability

Support for making data persistent

yes

based on RocksDB
