* Advantages of Multi-Master replication:
- If any master fails, other masters will continue to accept updates.
- If any master fails, other masters will continue to accept updates
- Avoids a single point of failure
- Masters can be located in several physical sites i.e. distributed across the
network/globe.
- Good for Disaster Recovery
- Good for Automatic failover/High Availability

* Disadvantages of Multi-Master replication:
- It has {{B:NOTHING}} to do with load balancing
- {{URL:http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1240.html}}
- If connectivity with a master is lost because of a network partition, then
"automatic failover" can just compound the problem
- Typically, a particular machine cannot distinguish between losing contact
with a peer because that peer crashed, or because the network link has failed
- If a network is partitioned and multiple clients start writing to each of the
"masters" then reconciliation will be a pain; it may be best to simply deny
writes to the clients that are partitioned from the single master
- Masters {{B:must}} propagate writes to {{B:all}} the other servers, which
means the network traffic and write load is constant and spreads across all
of the servers
