hi,

I am reading the old thread of 
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.hadoop.zookeeper.user/5221.

I have 2 questions.


Question 1:

I agree with Zookeeper is sequential consistency, but I don't think 
Zookeeper is linearizability even if doing sync+read for every read.  
for example,

timeline ------------>

C1:                sync()                  r1(x)

C2: w2(x=1)             w2(x=2)

It is possible r1 return x=1.  This history is not linearable according 
to Herlihy difination.


Question 2:

I think that Zookeeper is linearable only if there are only write operation.


Dominic,

Best Regard.
