Is your environment switching dynamically to async if the lag is too
important? If not, once you have reached a sync state, the master
would wait for all transactions commits to complete on the slave, so
once the client has received a commit confirmation you have the
guarantee that the data is already flushed on the slave. In this case
you don't need to know what happens on the master.
