Doug Meil updated HBASE-3910:
-----------------------------

    Description: 
Inspired from HBASE-3903 regarding the acid-semantics page.

2) IMHO, the documentation at http://hbase.apache.org/acid-semantics.html has 
some weak points that need clarification, for example:

(a) Visibility: <quote> When a client receives a "success" response for any 
mutation, that mutation is immediately visible to both that client and any 
client with whom it later communicates through side channels.</quote>

Here, what is a side channel exactly?

(b) Durability: <quote> All reasonable failure scenarios will not affect any of 
the guarantees of this document.</quote>

Here, what is a reasonable failure scenario?
Thanks,
Tallat
