Description

It would be awesome if two users created hyperdbs separate from each other, but were still able to replicate their data to each other. As is, a single user *must* create a root hyperdb that all others must be derived from, which makes it difficult for users who created data and want to share, but did not know of each other initially.

Research direction

The issue describes a replication design for separately created hyperdbs with different shared keys, but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing root-derived replication implementation; done means independently created databases can replicate with each other without requiring a common root database.
