I assume the ParticleDB company is going to be doing some damage control PR very soon.
Your bingo cards might include squares such as
- we understood the bugs but chose not to reveal the causes to Jepsen
- our LLMs understand the code fully
- some bugs were present only in pre-release versions, so they’re fine
- we were running Jepsen’s published test suite against a different version than the one they ran it on
- ditto, omitting mention that this was also not a pre-release version
- ditto, also omitting mention that the version Jepsen tested was a later version, so this was a regression they could and should have caught
I hope no other DB company is put off hiring Jepsen by this, because if you’re actually competent at database implementation, a database reviewed by Jepsen actually makes you look more competent in the end.
