ACID Guarantees
Ensure that updates do not get lost and other concurrent access anomalies
are prevented. Reduce application layer complexity and development
effort. Without ACID there is an increased chance of error-prone
application level coding and greater risk of data corruption.

Distributed MVCC/HTAP (Hybrid Transaction/Analytical Processing)
High performance non-blocking access for operational analytics workloads.
Optimistic concurrency control reduces transaction wait times and avoids
need for application layer caching. Eliminates delays for ETL and ability to
report near real-time metrics and Key Performance Indicators.
