Sandeep Tata updated CASSANDRA-132:
-----------------------------------

    Description: 
Limited session-level consistency: if the client connects to a node and 
performs operations on rows/keys that are local to that node (in that node's 
key range), we should be able to guarantee read-your-writes consistency. If the 
session ends because of a failure, and the client has to reconnect, there are 
no guarantees across the sessions.

(This is a common practical variation of eventual consistency, see: 
http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2008/12/eventually_consistent.html for 
context.)

Supporting this for a "local" sessions is significantly easier than supporting 
session level consistency when the node does not own the data. A non-owning 
node that is reading values from a remote replica will need to either do 
a) quorum reads and writes to guarantee session level read-your-writes
b) pick at least one node to block on and stick to that node as a "master" for 
the session.

guarantee read-your-writes consistency. If the session ends because of a 
failure, and the client has to reconnect, you only provide eventual consistency 
across the sessions.
