Solving Common Replication Conflicts
Multi-master replication uses a loose consistency replication model. This means
that the same entries can be changed on different servers. When replication occurs
between the two servers, the conflicting changes need to be resolved. Mostly,
resolution occurs automatically, based on the timestamp associated with the
change on each server. The most recent change takes precedence.
However, there are some cases where change conflicts require manual intervention
in order to reach a resolution. Entries that have a change conflict that cannot be
resolved automatically by the replication process, contain a conflict marker
attribute
attribute which makes it simple to search for entries that contain this attribute.
For example, you could use the following
