"There is no PACELC Theorem"
[edit ]On twitter, Lindsey Kuper had the following to say:
- a hill I will die on: there is no "PACELC theorem". PACELC is a thing; the CAP theorem is a thing; "the PACELC theorem" isn't. throwing the word "theorem" after a perfectly good design principle is meaningless fetishization of math
- claim: with work, someone could come up with something we could legitimately call a PACELC theorem, but if they did, it would probably be so specific, and involve so many assumptions, that it would be irrelevant to most of the situations where PACELC-the-rule-of-thumb applies
- which is, of course, exactly the problem with the CAP theorem
I asked "I guess the changes required to update the Wikipedia article are just to remove "theorem"; or are there more changes required?" to which she replied "I think it needs an overhaul. To start with, "In theoretical computer science" is 🤨". I'm likely not the person to update the article, just sharing the info. Sanpitch (talk) 21:03, 17 September 2020 (UTC) [reply ]
