---------------------------------------
Awesome JIRA, looking forward to that fix!
> 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.
