final class LWWRegister[A] extends ReplicatedData with ReplicatedDataSerialization
Implements a 'Last Writer Wins Register' CRDT, also called a 'LWW-Register'.
It is described in the paper A comprehensive study of Convergent and Commutative Replicated Data Types.
Merge takes the register with highest timestamp. Note that this
relies on synchronized clocks. LWWRegister should only be used when the choice of
value is not important for concurrent updates occurring within the clock skew.
Merge takes the register updated by the node with lowest address (UniqueAddress is ordered)
if the timestamps are exactly the same.
Instead of using timestamps based on System.currentTimeMillis() time it is possible to
use a timestamp value based on something else, for example an increasing version number
from a database record that is used for optimistic concurrency control.
The defaultClock is using max value of System.currentTimeMillis() and currentTimestamp + 1.
This means that the timestamp is increased for changes on the same node that occurs within
the same millisecond. It also means that it is safe to use the LWWRegister without
synchronized clocks when there is only one active writer, e.g. a Cluster Singleton. Such a
single writer should then first read current value with ReadMajority (or more) before
changing and writing the value with WriteMajority (or more).
For first-write-wins semantics you can use the LWWRegister#reverseClock instead of the LWWRegister#defaultClock
This class is immutable, i.e. "modifying" methods return a new instance.
