yes, before/after data modification events, on replication events, client session events

Partitioning methods

Methods for storing different data on different nodes

Sharding

based on Cassandra

Sharding

no "single point of failure"

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

Replication methods

Methods for redundantly storing data on multiple nodes

Multi-source replication
Source-replica replication

selectable replication factor

based on Cassandra

selectable replication factor

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

MapReduce

Offers an API for user-defined Map/Reduce methods

yes

Consistency concepts

Methods to ensure consistency in a distributed system

Eventual Consistency
Strong eventual consistency with CRDTs

Eventual Consistency

based on Cassandra

Transaction concepts

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

Optimistic locking, atomic execution of commands blocks and scripts
