SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/swift/swift-container-replicator [CONFIG]
[-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [-o|--once]
DESCRIPTION
Replication is designed to keep the system in a consistent
state in the face of temporary error conditions like network
outages or drive failures. The replication processes compare
local data with each remote copy to ensure they all contain
the latest version. Container replication uses a combination
of hashes and shared high water marks to quickly compare
subsections of each partition.
Replication updates are push based. Container replication
push missing records over HTTP or rsync whole database
files. The replicator also ensures that data is removed from
the system. When an container item is deleted a tombstone is
set as the latest version of the item. The replicator will
see the tombstone and ensure that the item is removed from
the entire system.
The options are as follows:
-v
--verbose
log to console
-o
--once
only run one pass of daemon
The container replicator should be enabled and disabled
using the Solaris Service Management Facility, smf(5). The
service FMRI for the container replicator is:
svc:/application/openstack/swift/swift-container-replicator
