Conflict resolution for object metadata

A method comprising:

• receiving, by the first computing device associated with a first computing system, a first metadata change made to metadata of a first instance of an object stored at a storage location associated with the first computing device;
• associating, by the first computing device, with the first metadata change, a time of the first metadata change;
• based on receiving replication of a second instance of the object from the second computing device associated with a second computing system, determining that a second metadata change was made to metadata of the second instance of the object at the second computing system, wherein the second instance of the object includes a time of the second metadata change;
• and at least one of:
• resolving, by the first computing device, a conflict between the first metadata change and the second metadata change based at least in part on comparing the time of the first metadata change with the time of the second metadata change, or
• merging, by the first computing device, the first metadata change with the second metadata change into the metadata for the object.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing one or more programs executable by a first computing device of a first computing system to configure the first computing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, by the first computing device, a first metadata change made to metadata of a first instance of an object stored at a storage location associated with the first computing device;
• associating, by the first computing device, with the first metadata change, a time of the first metadata change;
• based on receiving replication of a second instance of the object from a second computing device associated with a second computing system, determining that a second metadata change was made to metadata of the second instance of the object at the second computing system, wherein the second instance of the object includes a time of the second metadata change;
• and at least one of:
• resolving, by the first computing device, a conflict between the first metadata change and the second metadata change based at least in part on comparing the time of the first metadata change with the time of the second metadata change, or
• merging, by the first computing device, the first metadata change with the second metadata change into the metadata for the object.
