Ceph RADOS linearizable?

Hey David,
I'm currently doing some research into distributed databases. I'm
tracking candidates here:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_on_Scale
One of the tricky things is figuring out the consistency level [1]
provided by the database. There's no public RADOS documentation that
clearly describes the consistency provided in industry standard terms,
I'm pretty sure it's linearizabile, but the only real reference
mentioning linearizability I could find is from a RADOS related research
paper that talks about adding support for weaker consistency levels:
http://www.cs.nthu.edu.tw/~ychung/conference/2016_ICPADS.pdf
Can you confirm whether RADOS is indeed Linearizabile? I'm pretty sure
it is, but would like to be sure. :)
Thanks!
