Hello,
 I'm trying to wrap my head around the Appengine and its cloud architecture.

So if I have a program based on this large database where a multitude of 
users around the world edit and update lets say a city map.
As I understand it right now peoples actions are applied not to the database 
itself (as in being the sole one)  but to "clones" of it distributed around 
the world and which are synchronized realitively quickely.

So taking my example, what happens if a person in France adds a building on 
the map while an other edits its color and someone else changes its name all 
of this while an other group of people in Australia (thus working on an 
other clone of the DB) at the very same time edit different information on 
the very same grid coordinates, and then imagine 5 other groups around the 
world doing the same thing. What would actually happen ?

I'm asking this as I've read in other threads about the Appengine that even 
it has a strong integrity of its information it comes at a cost of its real 
time handling of events. So is this true and how much so ? 

Thanks for any answers ;)
