When a DeltaReplicatedData returns None from delta it must still be
treated as a delta that increase the version counter in DeltaPropagationSelector.
Otherwise a later delta might be applied before the full state gossip is received
and thereby violating RequiresCausalDeliveryOfDeltas.
* Follow up on the causal delivery of deltas.
* The first implementation used full state for the direct
Write messages, i.e. updates with WriteConsistency != LocalWrite
* This is an optimization so that delatas are tried first and if
they can't be applied it falls back to full state.
* For simultanious updates the messages may be reordered because we
create separate WriteAggregator actor and such, but normally they
will be sent in order so the deltas will typically be received in
order, otherwise we fall back to retrying with full state in the
second round in the WriteAggregator.
* 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
* delta GCounter and PNCounter
* first stab at delta propagation protocol
* send delta in the direct write
* possibility to turn off delta propagation
* tests
* protobuf serializer for DeltaPropagation
* documentation
* fix merge issues of DataEnvelope and its pruning
* simplify by removing the tombstones, which didn't work in all cases anyway
* keep the PruningPerformed markers in the DataEnvelope until configured
TTL has elapsed (wall clock)
* simplify PruningState structure
* also store the pruning markers in durable data
* collect removed nodes from the data, listing on MemberRemoved is not enough
* possibility to disable pruning altogether
* documented caveat for durable data
- All Map types are now generic in their key: ORMap, ORMultiMap, LWWMap,
PNCounterMap
- test for binary compatibility with previous version for serialization
- entries are sorted for deterministic SHA-1 on same value
* 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
