Hmm. Wouldn't a queue be a good data structure to do that? IIRC ZC already wrote a queue that doesn't conflict: http://svn.zope.de/zope.org/zc.queue/trunk/src/zc/queue/queue.txt If you store key/value pairs in the queue, you can do a step-by-step migration from the queue to the btree. Probably this should be encapsulated into a new data structure that looks btree-like and has an additional `consolidate` method. Calling the `consolidate` method would have to happen from the application that uses this data structure. Two issues I can think of immediately: - General: We need an efficient way to find all data structures that need reconciliation, maybe a ZODB-wide index of all objects that require reconciliation would be nice. - With Zope and ZEO: which Zope server is responsible for actually performing the reconciliation? One of the Zope servers that is marked in the zope.conf? Or maybe the ZEO server?
