Conflicts are managed at the column level. 1) If two columns have the same name the column with the highest timestamp wins. 2) If two columns have the same column name and the same timestamp the value of the column is compared and the highest* wins.
Someone correct me if I am wrong about the *. I know the algorithm is deterministic, I do not remember if it is highest or lowest.
