Abstract
Technologies described herein relate to conflict detection in a geo-replication architecture that includes several computing systems, where a database is asynchronously updated at the several computing systems and update notifications are transmitted amongst the computing systems to ensure that the database is replicated across the computing systems. Partial vector clocks, instead of full vector clocks, are used to update the database at different computing systems, thereby using fewer network resources when compared to conventional approaches. Further, less than whole vector clocks can be persisted with records stored on disk, thereby using fewer disk resources when compared with conventional approaches.
