Abstract
Improved solutions for merge conflict avoidance using operation-based Conflict-free Replicable Data Type (CRDT) are disclosed, for example, in a CRDT network system with two or more clients. A first operation is received to a first replica of data from a first client device. A second operation is received to a second replica of the data from a second client device. A server receiving the first operation and the second operation identifies a Unique-ID associated with the first operation and the second operation. The server determines whether a collision is detected based on the Unique-ID identified. In response to detecting a collision based on the Unique-ID, the second operation received from the second client device is rejected and sent back to the second client, and a third operation to the second replica of the data is received from the second client device, the third operation including an updated Unique-ID.
