When to use a client-server synchronization pattern?
Client is suspicious. In this case, you need to compare client against server to determine if the client is up-to-date and needs any deltas. You should follow the database (and SVN) design pattern of sequentially numbering every change. That way a client can make a trivial request (“What revision should I have?”) before attempting to synchronize.
Are there minimum set of attributes to synchronize?
A common question is what is the list of minimum attributes to synchronize. The default and recommended approach is to keep the default attributes so a full GAL (Global Address List) can be constructed in the cloud and to get all features in Microsoft 365 workloads.
What are the different types of synchronization algorithms?
Here is one of the possible classifications based on two perspectives: Synchronous / Asynchronous, Client/Server / Peer-to-Peer. Syncing implementation is severely dependent on these factors, data model complexity, amount of data transferred and stored, and other requirements.
When to use synchronization of key value pairs?
In case of a conflict, both file versions are saved so that the user can choose which version is more relevant. Syncing of key-value pairs can be used in apps with a simple data structure, where the variables are considered to be atomic, i.e. not divided into logical components.
What are the different types of data synchronization?
Data syncing is quite a broad concept and there are way too much to discuss. It covers a range of different approaches with their upsides and downsides. Here is one of the possible classifications based on two perspectives: Synchronous / Asynchronous, Client/Server / Peer-to-Peer.
How does CouchDB sync with the server side?
CouchDB ( http://couchdb.apache.org) is a server-side multi-master-document database that seamlessly synchronizes data among disconnected database instances. As data changes, a complete revision history for each document is stored, giving CouchDB the context to handle synchronization and resolve conflicts.
How does the server update the game objects?
Server updates the game objects (accelerations & directions) and sends them back to Clients. Clients use these updated values to simulate the movement of the objects locally.
