Abstract
A follower system and a leader system store records for a plurality of users. Each of the follower system and the leader system stores at least a record for a user. Each of the follower system and the leader system stores a private log and a public log. The public log is periodically synchronized across the follower system and the leader system. The private log of each system is maintained independent of the other system. The follower system transmits information stored in the public logs to the leader system for synchronizing the public logs of the follower system and the leader system in response to updating the public logs with information describing the second set of transactions.
