Architectural Patterns

ACID versus BASE versus CAP

Traditional RDBMS follows atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID) to provide reliability for any user of the database. However, searching high volumes of big data and retrieving data from those volumes consumes an enormous amount of time if the storage enforces ACID rules. So, big data follows basically available, soft state, eventually consistent (BASE), a phenomenon for undertaking any search in big data space.

Database theory suggests that the NoSQL big database may predominantly satisfy two properties and relax standards on the third, and those properties are consistency, availability, and partition tolerance (CAP).

With the ACID, BASE, and CAP paradigms, the big data storage design patterns ...
