member this.ConsistencyLevel : Nullable<Microsoft.Azure.Documents.ConsistencyLevel> with get, set

The consistency level required for the request.

Examples

This example uses RequestOptions to override the consistency level to Eventual for this single Read operation.

Document doc = client.ReadDocumentAsync(documentLink, new RequestOptions { ConsistencyLevel = ConsistencyLevel.Eventual });

Remarks

Azure Cosmos DB offers 5 different consistency levels. Strong, Bounded Staleness, Session, Consistent Prefix and Eventual - in order of strongest to weakest consistency. ConnectionPolicy

While this is set at a database account level, Azure Cosmos DB allows a developer to override the default consistency level for each individual request.
