Couchbase Analytics, since its general availability in November 2018, has been utilized in various industries for rapid insights, such as by payment providers, e-tailers, airlines, and stadiums. The system was designed to allow the Analytics service to run queries even during operations like rebalancing or failover, catering to developer productivity and allowing DevOps teams to manage clusters independently. However, a common request from customers using Couchbase for business-critical applications is to avoid non-monotonic query results, where queries could return outdated data. To address this, the upcoming release introduces "scan consistency," ensuring that query results are consistent with the latest data state. Users can set preferences like "not_bounded" for immediate evaluation or "request_plus" for ensuring data state consistency before execution, with an option to specify query timeout using the "scan_wait" parameter. This enhancement aims to provide reliable insights without disruptions from cluster operations.
