title: Which part of the CAP theorem does Cassandra sacrifice and why?
body: <p>There is a <a href="https://github.com/strangeloop/StrangeLoop2013/blob/master/slides/sessions/Kingsbury-PartitionsForEveryone.pdf" rel="noreferrer">great talk here</a> about simulating partition issues in Cassandra with <a href="https://github.com/aphyr/jepsen" rel="noreferrer">Kingsby's Jesper library</a>. </p>
  
  <p>My question is - with Cassandra are you mainly concerned with the Partitioning part of the CAP theorem, or is Consistency a factor you need to manage as well?</p>
