These might either be bugs, or one instance was missing a descriptor or consensus that the other instance was processing.
I assume the instances do not process the same descriptors in every case. That would explain most of the differences.
The two instances fetch descriptors from collector.torproject.org at :15 and :18 every hour, respectively. It might be that descriptors are written in the three minutes in between, though it's rather unlikely. But yes, it would explain some differences.
If their 'relays_published' timestamp match, they processed the same consensus, correct?
That timestamp is updated as last step of the hourly update process. The details documents that you're fetching may have been updated before. That would also explain some differences.
Thanks for opening tickets for the issues you're finding. I'm going through them on Trac as time permits.
All the best, Karsten
