This mission reminds me of of a blog post from my esteemed colleagues at Zugata who build performance management software for performance reviews and employee performance development.

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: MySQL Performance Blog; From the initial release, one of the biggest complaints I had about Group Replication is that it allowed “stale” reads and there was no way to prevent them or to even know that you read “stale” data. That was a huge limitation. Thankfully, Oracle released features to control the consistency levels, and it was exactly a year ago!
