Yes, I will check that and respond.

Yeah, I think we do need additional data for table e.g. column name in
tuple so that users can use queries to extract value for specific
columns etc.

IMHO can we name it local_conflict_tuples? Because remote tuples may
conflict with multiple local tuples, I think local_conflict_tuple
might be more relevant. But OTOH we are storing other information as
well, not just tuples so maybe
local_tuples_detail/local_tuples_info/local_tuples_data make more
sense. So maybe I am fine with 'local_tuples_detail' lets see if
there are any other thoughts?
