According to Dr.Eric Brewer,there are three commonly desirable properties in any highly distributed data system - consistency,availability,and partition tolerance.However,it is impossible for a system to provide all three at the same time.Consistency takes a bigger role in a distributed database.All nodes should see the same data at the same time which means the replicas should be immediately undated.This involves dealing with latency and network partitioning delays.Availability is a paramount requirement of all web-centric organizations.No received request should ever be lost and requests should always be filled by the system.Partition tolerance means the system continues to operate even in the event of a node failure and will fail only if all nodes fail.

The processor is the software component found in each computer that requests data.It receives and processes the application's data requests.
