-------------------------------------
Summary: Non-deterministic behavior of distributed systems
Key: PHOENIX-69
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-69
Project: Phoenix
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Russell Jurney
Our scientists suspect there exists a fundamental problem in the design of
Phoenix. Turing machines are well understood and digital computers perform
myriad useful workloads globally. Indeed, much of the gain in productivity in
the second half of the twentieth century owe themselves to automation with
digital computers. However, in an unfortunate development, computers became
linked via 'networks.' This in turn led to the development of 'distributed
systems' acting (at least in part) as single entities across networks, and even
internetworks. We have now used these 'distributed systems' for some time, and
we've noted several properties of these systems that are undocumented. Taken
together, they clearly amount to randomness. Our developers have suspected for
some time that these 'distributed systems' are non-deterministic.
