Hi Alex, For my fairly limited use mitosis is performing very well.
I've slacked off a bit over the last few weeks but will try to get back onto it soon.
For stable use there is still that critical issue where a change on the same entry on multiple servers will lead to a permanently inconsistent state. I'll make that my priority soon.
I also recently came across a minor timeout issue which I think is a problem in MINA. I'll investigate that more soon too.
Aside from that there are niggling issues like replication of schema changes. Once these issues have been worked out I think we have a stable replication system.
There are some features that I guess we really need to get in for it to actually be useful for the majority of users though. The main things that come to mind are selective replication, encryption, schedules and removing the dependency on Derby.
I know you and Ersin are thinking about possible design changes although to me those can be done incrementally later on as required. I doubt that I will be a driving force behind these changes but am willing to help.

Hi Martin, Was just curious what you think about the state of Mitosis. Could you give us an update of how it's performing for you as well as the additional work you think needs to be done on it? I want to start looking at making it production stable for a 2.0 final release down the line (early 2008). Thanks, Alex
