That is what I suggested, but then at the same time connect that to pipes and stores, but
we can start even simpler and first develop something like this.

I'd be for looking into the document use case first, and hold off with the
transactional/Operational Transformation one for now. This mainly because is seems to be a
lot simpler.
qmx suggested using something similar to CouchDB. CouchDB uses a revision field for each
document to handle/detect conflicts.
The following is a concrete example of how this works with CouchDB:
Create a database:
curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/agsync
{"ok":true}
Get a uuid:
curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:5984/_uuids
{"uuids":["f11075199bcea80849204660d7000d53"]}
Create a car object(document) using the above uuid:
curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/agsync/f11075199bcea80849204660d7000d53 -d
'{"car": {"make":"Toyota",
"color":"red"}}'
{"ok":true,"id":"f11075199bcea80849204660d7000d53","rev":"1-dffbd1dbd1b9ecbffc1b02a34cbaea0b"}
Notice that the server returned a new document revision.
Now clientA updates the car object, notice that we are specifying the document revision:
curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/agsync/f11075199bcea80849204660d7000d53 -d
'{"_rev":"1-dffbd1dbd1b9ecbffc1b02a34cbaea0b", "car":
{"make":"Toyota","color":"blue"}}'
{"ok":true,"id":"f11075199bcea80849204660d7000d53","rev":"2-588a9da2e252e9a3d2fc0634610a0c25"}
Also, notice how the server returned a new document revision.
Now, clientB still has the old revision and tries to update the car object:
curl -v -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/agsync/f11075199bcea80849204660d7000d53 -d
'{"_rev":"1-dffbd1dbd1b9ecbffc1b02a34cbaea0b", "car":
{"make":"Toyota","color":"yellow"}}'
< HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict
{"error":"conflict","reason":"Document update
conflict."}
This conflict would the have to be handled by the client. Could we start out with
something similar and as simple as this and evolve it?

I don’t want to dismiss anything just wanted to know what you think about my idea to
combine a pipe and store to create a pipe that continues to work when the user goes
offline. Obviously you don’t feel my idea makes any sense and I think that you sync isn’t
a super powerful feature to have (there are to many pre conditions in my opinion), but we
could have it, not dismissing it.
What do others think about this discussion? What use cases should we support first? Can
you think of other ways/things to sync?
