public class GenerationIdChecksum
extends Object
implements Checksum
This class computes the generation id used for a replication domain. It is a checksum based on some special
entries/attributes of the domain. The written stream to this class is the LDIF representation of the entries we are
interested in for computing the generation id. The current implementation simply does the sum of each written byte
and stores the value in a long. We do not care about the cycling long as the probability of 2 data sets having the
same checksum is very low.
