Hi Larry. Thanks for the feedback. To give some context, I have a real-time SQLite replication tool that Dr. Hipp referenced that uses the regular SQLite API for locking & checkpointing. That's working pretty well and it works based on the invariants described in the SQLite documentation. Someone asked if I could make the replication fan-out to live replicas. I didn't think it was possible but I thought I'd try it as an experiment. I tried a couple ideas (unsuccessfully) and then posted to this forum. Sounds like it's not possible. I regret to inform you that I wrote BoltDB which is used by etcd which is in every Kubernetes deployment so I fear that you likely have, in fact, used software that I have worked on.
