Recursive Content-Dependent Shingling (RCDS)
The RCDS [1] is a scalable string reconciliation protocol that is best used in distributed systems. This GO
implementation relies on the implementation of cpisync project. The RCDS
breaks a file (string) into a set of data and relies on any set reconciliation primitives (CPI [2], Interactive
CPI [3], and IBLT [4].) to reconcile the data and reconstruct the data back to a file.
This implementation is a remote file synchronization utility. An existing C++ implementation is available, however, not
well maintained on forked cpisync.
