  • Processing mutations for a remote database
    Patent number: 10521417
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus are described for processing mutations for a remote database. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a log of database mutations from a client device, the log of database mutations indicating changes previously made to a client version of a database stored on the client device, and each database mutation specifying: an entity included in the database; an operation for the entity; and a client version number for the entity; identifying, in the log of database mutations, two or more database mutations that each specify a same client version number for a same entity; determining, based on a conflict resolution policy, that the two or more database mutations are eligible for collapsing; and collapsing the two or more database mutations into a single database mutation.
