Abstract
A server system having one or more processors and memory stores a plurality of entities in one or more databases, where the one or more databases do not guarantee strong consistency of the stored entities. The server system executes a first query against at least a first portion of the one or more databases to generate a first set of results that is not guaranteed to be strongly consistent. The server system also executes a second query, where executing the second query includes performing a consistency operation, the consistency operation guaranteeing that a second portion of the one or more databases is strongly consistent. After performing the consistency operation, the server system generates a second set of results from the second portion and merges the first set of one or more results and the second set of one or more results.
