Consistency concepts

Methods to ensure consistency in a distributed system

Tunable Consistency (Strong, Eventual, Weak)

Immediate Consistency

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.

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

yes

supports JTA and can work as an XA resource

Since BigQuery is designed for querying data

ACID, Cluster-wide transaction available

ACID

Isolation support depends on the API used

Support for making data persistent

yes

using a tiered cache-storage approach

yes

with automatic compression on writes

yes

in-memory storage is supported as well
