Hi everyone, at Pycon someone mentioned that Voldemort keeps the data
around on disk even after a delete.. Is this correct?

No it gets deleted when the delete occurs, not sure how they got that idea.

With Voldemort having replication and an eventual consistency model, doesn't
this mean that data is only eventually deleted? Maybe that's what the person
was thinking.
