Можете объяснить, что подразумевается под концепцией CP в контексте распределенных систем?

In the context of distributed systems, the CP concept relates to the CAP theorem, where C — Consistency, P — Availability, and A — Partition Tolerance.

A CP system guarantees:

• Consistency: all nodes see the same data at the same time.
• Partition Tolerance: the system continues to operate despite network failures.

Such a system may sacrifice Availability, meaning that during network partitioning, some requests may be unavailable to maintain data consistency.

Example: a distributed database that blocks write operations during network partitioning to prevent data inconsistency between nodes.
