The following comment is incorrect.<p>&quot;Unlike Cassandra, Kudu implements the Raft consensus algorithm to ensure full consistency between replicas&quot;<p>Cassandra does offer transactional consistency in the form of PAXOS that achieves the same goal. Additionally PAXOS or RAFT based consistency models aren&#x27;t really necessary if you&#x27;re willing to accept out of order processing and adopt idempotent data models; you only need quorum based consistency.<p>I&#x27;m curious to see what your throughput was in TX&#x2F;s not just bytes&#x2F;s in order to get a more apples to apples comparison.
