Good to hear. The actual directory will likely be small in size (number of objects).Also important to keep in mind is your update rate - avg. updates per minute, max. updates per minute.
So it sounds like as long as we manage the number of agreements (2-3) per node then we may be okay.In Fedora DS, replication is supplier initiated, and will update as soon as possible by default. That is, as soon as the supplier receives the change, it will send it to the consumer. There are also programmatic ways to do it, but you usually don't need to.Another quick question, I assume there is a programatic call that can be made to trigger replication push for a supplier. True?

Is this a hard limit or a soft (reccomendation) limit? That means 4 is the highest number of masters we've tested exhaustively. The protocol supports up to 2^32-2 masters, but you willusually hit a practical limit in the number of replication agreements. Each repl. agreement runs a separate thread, so you will usually beconstrained by resources - available RAM, processors, etc. > The application will need to write changes directly to itself on all > servers The application will write the changes directly to each of the 10 masters? > so that they are immediately available locally, then replicated to > other servers. > > Is this possible with FedoraDS?
