Serializable vs linearizable
Which statement correctly distinguishes serializability from linearizability?
Options
- 1Serializability is about transactions appearing in some serial order; linearizability is about single-object operations respecting real-time order and recency
- 2They are identical in practice: both demand a total real-time order on all operations, and each is simply the other's formal name for it
- 3Serializability applies only to NoSQL stores while linearizability applies only to SQL databases, so the two terms never describe the same system
- 4Linearizability is strictly weaker than eventual consistency, so a linearizable store may return arbitrarily stale reads during normal operation
