Otherwise, there is no difference.Should I change the docs for MM? We do writes to a single server to guarantee writes correct? If they are both the same, should we rename MirrorMode to a different key word? We don't use the server URI in the MM example, maybe that section should be totally re-written as it seems to be confusing users. Thoughts?Well, at least maybe some clarification, if a total re-write is too time
consuming. If the difference between the two
has nothing to do with the number of nodes involved, and only whether or not
there's an external frontend, perhaps they
would be more aptly titled "N-Way Multi-Master" and "Proxied N-Way
Multi-Master".Absolutely not. The name MirrorMode was specifically chosen to avoid any association with the concept of multi-master. The purpose of MirrorMode is to guarantee single-master consistency while providing hot standby.
