Redis Sentinel&#x27;s semantics are an excellent solution for what I use Redis for.<p>Redis Sentinel&#x27;s semantics are a terrible solution for things I use relational DBs for.<p>The fact that clustered relational systems accepts transactions in SQL and then just handle them wrong is completely unacceptable.<p>Redis has the advantage of making it pretty darn clear that it&#x27;s best-effort, simple ops, non-transactional. If you spent all your time bragging about ACID semantics for Redis, we&#x27;d rake you over the coals at least as hard.<p>(And you don&#x27;t. Thanks for that! Also, Redis is awesome.)
