Understanding the Causes of Consistency Anomalies in Apache Cassandra
Summary: Investigates consistency anomalies in Apache Cassandra under steady workload. Finds staleness spikes align with JVM GC stop-the-world pauses; delaying reads after GC yields ~98% reduction in >5ms anomalies with negligible throughput/latency impact. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
