On: How to beat the CAP theorem

[ww520]

You use the timestamp to resolve the two values to see whether 5 or 6 is the latest.

Your system would have the same problem to resolve which data is the latest.

[lmm → ww520]

In his system you neither partition would have written "5" or "6". Rather, the one on the left would have written a "+1", and the one on the right would have written a "+1", and you can tell whether these are the same "+1" or not. You only combine them when you do the query.

[ww520 → lmm]

One is +1 (to 5) and the other one is +2 (to 6). Which one is the correct one?
