Yugabyte Geodistributed Intermittent Network Availability

[4wardobserver]

I am interested in Yugabyte’s ability to be geo-distributed. However, I am wondering if the protocal between the different nodes can tolerate DIL conditions (see: https://www.omgwiki.org/dido/doku.php?id=dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:d:dil ) where the network is not reliable. Are there timeouts? Can they change? Are there protocols/defaults for collisions?

thanks.

where the network is not reliable

The database is not supposed to work over unreliable internet connection. It’s supposed to be run in datacenters (at least the synchronous replication).

See yb-master configuration reference | YugabyteDB Docs

There are for asynchronous replication, where last write wins: xCluster | YugabyteDB Docs
