In NoSQL databases, which consistency model sacrifices consistency in favor of availability and partition tolerance?
- Causal Consistency
- Eventual Consistency
- Sequential Consistency
- Strong Consistency
Eventual Consistency in NoSQL databases sacrifices immediate consistency in favor of high availability and partition tolerance. It allows replicas of data to become consistent over time, ensuring that all replicas will eventually converge to the same value. This trade-off is suitable for systems where availability is crucial, and temporary inconsistencies can be tolerated.
