* Use deterministic order of the target nodes for the writes when
type RequiresCausalDeliveryOfDeltas, otherwise the random pick
of targets caused that delta sequence numbers were missing for
susequent updates
* Resend immediately when receiving DeltaNack instead of waiting
for timeout. DeltaNack can happen when there are multiple
concurrent updates from same node because each starts a WriteAggregator
and a later Update might bypass an earlier
* keep track of delta interval versions and skip deltas
that are not consequtive, i.e. when some delta message was lost
* send the delta versions in the full state gossip to sync up the
expected versions after dropped deltas
* implementation of deltas for ORSet
* refactoring of the delta types to allow for different type for the
delta and the full state
* extensive tests
* mima filter
* performance optimizations
* simple pruning of deltas
* Java API
* update documentation
* KeyId type alias
* Use InternalApi annotation
* Provide shorter aliases for the ActorRefProviders #20649
* Use the new actorefprovider aliases throughout code and docs
* Cleaner alias replacement logic
Previously know as [patriknw/akka-data-replication](https://github.com/patriknw/akka-data-replication),
which was originally inspired by [jboner/akka-crdt](https://github.com/jboner/akka-crdt).
The functionality is very similar to akka-data-replication 0.11.
Here is a list of the most important changes:
* The package name changed to `akka.cluster.ddata`
* The extension was renamed to `DistributedData`
* The keys changed from strings to classes with unique identifiers and type information of the data values,
e.g. `ORSetKey[Int]("set2")`
* The optional read consistency parameter was removed from the `Update` message. If you need to read from
other replicas before performing the update you have to first send a `Get` message and then continue with
the ``Update`` when the ``GetSuccess`` is received.
* `BigInt` is used in `GCounter` and `PNCounter` instead of `Long`
* Improvements of java api
* Better documentation
