OT was designed to create applications for collaborative editing based on principles, which conceptually resemble Git but with added support of arbitrary user-defined data types and automatic conflict resolution using operational transformations (OT). Unlike traditional databases, data is represented as a commit graph. This approach revolutionizes the concept and provides truly distributed and asynchronous online/offline data processing.
You can add the OT module to your project by inserting a dependency in pom.xml
:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.datakernel</groupId>
<artifactId>datakernel-ot</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
</dependency>
Note that OT is suitable for private cloud solutions and is not optimised for working with non-trusted servers. If you are looking for a global internet-wide cloud storage solution, please consider Global-OT module.
