> I want to know where SolrCloud stands in terms of CAP. SolrCloud is a CP system. In the face of partitions, SolrCloud favors consistency over availability (mostly concerning writes). The system is eventually consistent, but should become consistent with a pretty low latency, unlike many cases with an AP system (dynamo style systems).
You can get things like read your own writes (simple out of the box behavior) and monotonic reads with the SolrCloud architecture if your application requires it. Hopefully, we will be adding more knobs to control some of the tradeoffs that the current architecture can make over time. -- - Mark
