Abstract
Updates to a hierarchical data structure may be selectively replicated to other replicas of the hierarchical data structure. An update for a hierarchical data structure may be received and committed to the hierarchical data structure. A determination as to whether any other replicas of the hierarchical data structure have permission to receive the update may be made. For those replicas of the hierarchical data structure with permission to receive the update, the update may be provided to the replicas and committed to the replicas. Different types of replication techniques may be implemented, such as pull-based replication techniques or push-based replication techniques. Replication permissions for objects of the hierarchical data structure may be individually defined, in some embodiments.
