There is replication via sync_client and sync_server; it's rolling 
replication, asynchronous, and not explicitly advertised as 
bi-directional, but in my experience you can setup a master-replica 
relation in both directions in particular if you send client-traffic to 
one at a time (like with a haproxy that has a preferred server and does 
pollig). Maybe the latter is over cautious, but at least that's how I 
felt confident enough to use it ;-)

I also always use this to migrate between major versions of Cyrus, and I 
think I've used replication since it came out ;-)
