medium convergence

A setting that controls the degree to which CDS attempts to keep all replicas of a directory consistent. Medium convergence means CDS makes one attempt to immediately propagate an update to all replicas of the directory in which a change was just made. If the attempt fails, the software lets the next scheduled skulk take care of making the replicas consistent. Skulks occur at least once every 12 hours on a directory with medium convergence. When you create a namespace, the default setting on the root directory is medium. To control convergence, you set a directory's CDS_Convergence attribute. See also high convergence, low convergence.
