> To ensure that all replicas see mutations applied in the same order as the source, we need to preserve the timestamp on the received mutations to replicate (either user-assigned or server-assigned).
> The way that ServerMutation implements the server-assigned timestamp is done so as to not modify the serialized bytes (for efficiencies sake). The problem arises when the ServerMutation is cast back to a "regular" Mutation, the timestamp that the system assigned, which was tracked outside of the serialized bytes, is lost and a new server-assigned timestamp is used.
> The naive way to circumvent this is to copy the ServerMutation into a new Mutation, checking for a system-assigned timestamp and set that on the updates for each Mutation. This has a big downside as the amount of required heap nearly doubled (assuming that the mutations are the majority of memory used).
