Remove docs on uncontended register analysis (elastic#102201)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Verification of uncontended operations on linearizable registers was
introduced in elastic#101185 so does not apply in versions before 8.12.

Fixes up the backport of elastic#102050.

strongly-consistent behavior even when the blob is accessed by multiple nodes
at the same time. The detailed implementation of the compare-and-exchange
operation on linearizable registers varies by repository type. Repository
analysis verifies that that uncontended compare-and-exchange operations on a
linearizable register blob always succeed. Repository analysis also verifies
that contended operations either succeed or report the contention but do not
return incorrect results. If an operation fails due to contention, {es} retries
the operation until it succeeds. Most of the compare-and-exchange operations
performed by repository analysis atomically increment a counter which is
represented as an 8-byte blob. Some operations also verify the behavior on
small blobs with sizes other than 8 bytes.
