How does the Consistent Prefix consistency option behave during data change?

The Consistent Prefix consistency option allows for a scenario where changes to the data are visible in a consistent order, but they may not be immediately reflected to all users simultaneously. This means that when data is updated, users will see changes in the order they were made, preserving the sequence of updates. However, the visibility of these changes can have delays, leading to a temporary period during which users might see an outdated version of the data before the most current changes propagate throughout the system.

This consistency model strikes a balance between performance and correctness, allowing for lower latency in write operations while still maintaining a logical order for how changes are seen by users. Therefore, while all users will eventually see the same sequence of changes, their experience may vary in terms of timing, which is central to the Consistent Prefix consistency model.
