Just to clarify: There's two things that sometimes are referred to as
'synchronous' in the context of multimaster replication.
Just like with HS' builtin synchronous replication it can mean that the
client doesn't get a reply until the COMMIT has safely been replicated
to other systems. That's supported by BDR today.
The more complex thing is support for performing transactions that, when
the COMMIT returns successfully, can't have conflicts. That's *not* yet
supported, but we're thinking of implementing it for individual
transactions.
