Abstract
Techniques to generate a distributed data structure using monotonic clock times are described herein. A set of data events are received at a plurality of replica locations and, based on delivery times, creation times, and timeout times, the data events are stored within a convergent replicated data structure. The data events are then ordered within the convergent replicated data structure based on the corresponding timeout times being less than a time value obtained from a locally accessible clock associated with each replica locations. The distributed data structure is then generated from the ordered data events by recursively selecting data events from the replica locations.
