The new active server "zaps" the original active server 
but it's not clear exactly what this means. So, for the sake of clarity, could someone please explain what happens in this scenario: 0) Two TC servers are on separate networks 1) The connection between the two TC servers goes down but all other functions continue operating 2) The previously passive TC server becomes active 3) Clients are connected to both Active servers, inserting new data into both. 4) The network comes back up, Split Brain is detected, and one of the servers "zaps" the other. What happens to the data on the one that is "zapped"? Are all changes to that server since the Split Brain occurred simply wiped, never to be recovered? ]]> http://forums.terracotta.org/forums/posts/list/7331.page#36105 http://forums.terracotta.org/forums/posts/list/7331.page#36105 GMT Looking for some more detail on what happens to data in a Split Brain scenario http://forums.terracotta.org/forums/posts/list/7331.page#36133 http://forums.terracotta.org/forums/posts/list/7331.page#36133 GMT Re:Looking for some more detail on what happens to data in a Split Brain scenario http://forums.terracotta.org/forums/posts/list/7331.page#36144 http://forums.terracotta.org/forums/posts/list/7331.page#36144 GMT Re:Looking for some more detail on what happens to data in a Split Brain scenario http://forums.terracotta.org/forums/posts/list/7331.page#36337 http://forums.terracotta.org/forums/posts/list/7331.page#36337 GMT Re:Looking for some more detail on what happens to data in a Split Brain scenario this page are clear that the zapped server's data is cleared, not integrated into the other server's data. Only then can the zapped server start up as a mirror and sync with the active server's data.]]> http://forums.terracotta.org/forums/posts/list/7331.page#36348 http://forums.terracotta.org/forums/posts/list/7331.page#36348 GMT
