Tungsten Manager Failover Behavior

The Tungsten Cluster default position is to protect the integrity of the data. Sometimes this means that a failover may be delayed. It is more important to have all the data than for the write Primary to be available. This behavior is configurable.

When the Manager quorum invokes a failover automatically, there are various states that each replication stream may be in that must be taken into account by the Manager layer as it coordinates the failover.

This is due to the loosely-coupled, asynchronous nature of Tungsten Replicator.
