I think operation level consistency policies are more useful than DB level. For instance, saying bounded stale reads are OK for some operation could be useful for the high read scenarios and hopefully the system will materialize a cache.

Gotcha. Yeah, we're planning on allowing users to tweak their performance by providing this sort of constraint to the system, and allowing the system optimize it. We are far from that, but that's where we're aiming for.
