How to Implement Read-After-Write Consistency Mock in Python
Simulate strong versus eventual read-after-write consistency with a primary and replica store, demonstrating the difference in data visibility over time.
import time
class MockStorage:
def __init__(self, write_delay=0.1):
self.store = {}
self.replica = {}
self.write_delay = write_delay
def write(self, key, value):
# Write to primary storage immediately
self.store[key] = value
# Simulate async replication delay
…Idempotent Writes for Sharded Databases in Python
Implement a mock shard with idempotent write support using request IDs to prevent duplicate writes and track the latest value per key.
import json
class ShardMock:
"""Mock distributed shard with idempotent write support."""
def __init__(self, shard_id):
self.shard_id = shard_id
self._store = {}
def write(self, key, value, request_id):
"""Write value only if request_id not yet processed; idempotent."""
