Conflict Resolution
As the consistency achieved is eventual, the system has to resolve conflicts. There are three types of resolution:
- Read repair: The correction is done when a read finds an inconsistency. This slows down the read operation.
- Write repair: The correction takes place during a write operation, if an inconsistency has been found, slowing down the write operation.
- Asynchronous repair: The correction is not part of a read or write operation.
Concepts used for the conflict resolution are the client-specified timestamps and vector clocks.

Famous quotes containing the words conflict and/or resolution:
“If work and leisure are soon to be subordinated to this one utopian principle—absolute busyness—then utopia and melancholy will come to coincide: an age without conflict will dawn, perpetually busy—and without consciousness.”
—Günther Grass (b. 1927)
“We have been here over forty years, a longer period than the children of Israel wandered through the wilderness, coming to this Capitol pleading for this recognition of the principle that the Government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. Mr. Chairman, we ask that you report our resolution favorably if you can but unfavorably if you must; that you report one way or the other, so that the Senate may have the chance to consider it.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
