package vsync

// Package vsync provides sync functionality for Syncbase. Sync
// service serves incoming GetDeltas requests and contacts other peers
// to get deltas from them. When it receives a GetDeltas request, the
// incoming generation vector is diffed with the local generation
// vector, and missing generations are sent back. When it receives log
// records in response to a GetDeltas request, it replays those log
// records to get in sync with the sender.
