Dotted version vector considered? #1

Closed liuzhen closed 8 years ago

liuzhen commented 8 years ago

Hi, i noticed that fifo_dt is using vector clocks to track causal context, however http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/theory/concepts/context/

is recommending dotted version vector over vclocks, so is fifo considering using dvv?

[08:21:10] Licenser:    liuzhen since we are using CRDT's there are no sibligs to explode, each entry is only stored once not once per conflicting version vector, conflict resolution is handled intenrally and not client side
[08:21:53] Licenser:    that said I am all for migrating to dvv's I know the concept and I think it's a good one, however time isn't on my side and given that we do not have the problem of siblings to start with it's not the higest priority
