Cells: Group Transfer
This document is a work-in-progress and represents a very early state of the
Cells design. Significant aspects are not documented, though we expect to add
them in the future. This is one possible architecture for Cells, and we intend to
contrast this with alternatives before deciding which approach to implement.
This documentation will be kept even if we decide not to implement this so that
we can document the reasons for not choosing this approach.
TL;DR
1. Definition
2. Data flow
3. Proposal
There is an investigation to solve this problem using direct transfer.
4. Evaluation
4.1. Pros
4.2. Cons
Direct transfer does not migrate users and users cannot exist on more than one Cell. This means in Cells 1.0, for migrations across Cells, any user contributions will be assigned to the user performing the import.
