1. A computing system in a geo-replication computing architecture, the computing system comprising:
computer-readable storage that includes a database that is replicated across N computing systems of the geo-replication computing architecture, where the database includes a record that has a key value, wherein N is a nonzero integer;
a processor that is operably coupled to the computer-readable storage; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform acts comprising:
receiving an update request from a computing device that is in communication with the computing system, where the update request includes the key value of the record and an update to the record;
identifying the record in the database based upon the key value in the update request;
in response to identifying the record in the database, updating the record based upon the update in the update request;
generating a partial vector clock based upon the updating of the record, where the partial vector clock incudes M Global Change Numbers (GCNs), where M is a nonzero integer less than N, and further where the M GCNs include a GCN that identifies the computing system and is indicative of when the computing system updated the record; and
transmitting an update notification to other computing systems in the geo-replication architecture, where the update notification is configured to cause the other computing systems to update the record of the database with the update in the update request.
