This property determines when coordinator data view stops to send requests to coordinated data views.

This property can take the following values in addition to the default.

all-candidates

When the routing policy is set to all-candidates, the distribution algorithm (if any) associated with the data views gets the list of candidates and the routing policy forwards the operation to all the candidates sequentially.

first-match

When the routing policy is set to first-match :

bind request is sent to each data view until the target entry is located. Once the target entry is located, the bind response, either sucess or failure, is returned and the process stops. Note that the subsequent operations sent by the client may fail, for example, add would fail if the target entry does not exist on the first data view.
add request is sent to the first data view
modify/delete/compare/modify dn requests are sent to the data view holding the target entry
search is sent to each data view in a row until at least one entry is returned. Stops at first match.

mirror

When the routing policy is set to mirror:

All operations are forwarded to the first coordinated data view.
writes requests are forwarded to the others data views as well and possible errors are not reported to the client.
search requests are forwarded to the first data view only.

This property is used to configure the following features:

coordinator-data-view: A coordinator data view is a coodinator of multiple data views.
