Independent of the technology, what are your business rules for resolving conflicts?
e.g. I'm an editor in NYC and I update a story at the same time as an editor in Singapore. What do you want to happen in this case?

Here is my understanding. Correct me if I am wrong: Data set is same in all the 3 data centers. Insert or update can come from any of the 3 data centers. In this case I cant set any of the clusters as Master. If I take another option to replicate data to and fro separated by domain, how can I segregate same document set in three different domains across all the clusters and this means data redundancy to us if we manage to have three copies of same document. And with three different copies, it adds complexity to search as in which domain to look for for most recent version of document. If I do replicate to and fro between same domain, it could be disruptive and non-reliable option. Please suggest if we have any alternate option in flexrep for our use case that I am not aware of.

If that is the case then there is no direct approach in ML, but, still you have options to implement your scenario using flexible replication concepts .

These newsletters are published on a daily basis. The writers and editors are spread across different geographical regions and it is the latency of the application that we need to have three active data centers. Please find my comments to yours questions below.

It allows updates as well * If it allows updates, are those updates mastered in one of the three locations for a given document, or is it possible for any location to update any document at any time? ? It is possible for any location to update any document any time. * If it's possible for multiple locations to update the same document at the same time, what are the business rules for resolving conflicts? ? Currently we have only one data center in USA which takes care of all the traffic with lots of Singapore users complains regarding the slowness. * When you query, do you need to ensure a consistent view across data in all three locations (even if that means it's only up to date with respect to the slowest location), or do you want an inconsistent view, but one that has the most recent data from each location? ? We want a consistent view across data in all the three locations. In general, anything you can tell us about the application could shed light on the query and update patterns would help, including why you want three active data centers in the first place (is it latency of the application, or something else?

They are all supporting the same application that inserts data into those clusters. Data in all the three clusters has to be same. For example if there is a document insert in USA cluster, it has to be inserted in UK and Singapore clusters as well. Same applies for any document delete. And all the three cluster has to have the most latest version of a document if that is getting updated frequently. Is there any feature in Marklogic that enables us to do this? If not, is there any best practice that you will suggest us to follow?
