Re: rid tracking

You are understanding correctly.

The rid is useful and unique only internally the node.

No other nodes know the rid being used by other nodes.

Am I understanding your correctly?

If I have a single provider (master) and 20 replicas (slaves) I can set
the rid to 42 on all the replicas and they will maintain sync?

There is no need to keep the rid unique on each replica using the same
provider?
