NAME
     swift-container-updater - OpenStack Swift container updater


SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/swift/swift-container-updater  [CONFIG] [-h|--help]
     [-v|--verbose] [-o|--once]


DESCRIPTION
     The container updater is responsible for updating  container
     information  in the account database.  It will walk the con-
     tainer path in the system  looking  for  container  DBs  and
     sending  updates  to the account server as needed as it goes
     along.

     There are times when account data  can  not  be  immediately
     updated.  This  usually  occurs  during failure scenarios or
     periods of high load. This is where an eventual  consistency
     window will most likely come in to play.

     In  practice, the consistency window is only as large as the
     frequency at which the updater runs  and  may  not  even  be
     noticed  as  the proxy server will route listing requests to
     the first account server which responds.  The  server  under
     load  may  not  be  the  one  that serves subsequent listing
     requests  one of the other two replicas may handle the list-
     ing.

     The options are as follows:

         -v
         --verbose
             log to console
         -o
         --once
             only run one pass of daemon


     The  container  updater should be enabled and disabled using
     the Solaris Service Management Facility, smf(5).   The  ser-
     vice FMRI for the container updater is:

       svc:/application/openstack/swift/swift-container-updater
