Overview - How CDS Updates Data
Once names exist in the namespace, users who have the appropriate access can make changes to the data associated with the names. Any addition, modification, or deletion of CDS data initially happens in only one replica: the master replica. This topic introduces the main methods by which CDS keeps other replicas consistent: update propagation and the skulk operation. It also describes two timestamps that help to ensure consistency in CDS data. By understanding the concepts in this topic, you can more effectively plan the content and replication of directories and the organization of hierarchical cells in your namespace.
