// In Drupal's distributed database structure, new data is written to the master
// and then propagated to the slave servers. This means there is a lag
// between when data is written to the master and when it is available on the slave.
// At these times, we will want to avoid using a slave server temporarily.
// For example, if a user posts a new node then we want to disable the slave
// server for that user temporarily to allow the slave server to catch up.
// That way, that user will see their changes immediately while for other
// users we still get the benefits of having a slave server, just with slightly
// stale data. Code that wants to disable the slave server should use the
// db_set_ignore_slave() function to set $_SESSION['ignore_slave_server'] to
// the timestamp after which the slave can be re-enabled.
