Re: [infinispan-dev] Use cases for x-datacenter replication

Sitting here at an architectural summit, there is one point of clarification -- the clients reside on a separate network from the data centers. So it is possible to lose a data center without losing the clients; they will simply route to another data center. In that case, there will be a notion of promotion of a data center as a primary key owner, which has its own set of implications (i.e. needs to be more local copies, etc). And that means some sort of "fail back" once the original data center comes back online after any versioning merge occurs. (Does this make sense?)
