# CAP theorem is becoming known due to the increase hype around No-SQL database.# CAP theorem, also known as Brewer's theorem,# States that it is impossible for a distributed computer system to simultaneously provide all three of the following guarantees:o Consistency (all nodes see the same data at the same time)o Availability (a guarantee that every request receives a response about whether it was successful or failed)o Partition tolerance (the system continues to operate despite arbitrary message loss). According to the theorem, a distributed system can satisfy any two of these guarantees at the same time, but not all three.
