This document discusses data replication in distributed systems. It describes two types of replication: synchronous and asynchronous. For asynchronous replication, there is primary site asynchronous and peer-to-peer asynchronous. The document then focuses on the lazy master framework, outlining components like the primary/secondary copies, ownership, propagation, refreshment, and configuration. It provides details on the system architecture involving log monitors, propagators, receivers, and refreshers. Finally, it covers topics like failure and recovery handling.
