This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/48636 Replication latency, especially over a WAN, can become worse when there are several masters receiving updates at the same time. What happens is that one master will take exclusive access of a replica, and not release it for a very long time. This blocks the other masters from sending their updates to that consumer, and this adds to the replication latency as those updates have to travel back and forth with all the other masters, and consumers. See the bugzilla for more detailed info. We need a way to notify a master that it is holding its exclusive access of a replica for too long, and that it needs to yield so other masters can start sending some of their updates to that replica.
Fixed upstream: Design doc for new feature: http://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/design/repl-conv-design.html
Justification: Important customer reported the problem. (See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1157799) This improvement is beneficial for all the customers who deploy the Directory Server/IPA with the replication.
