NAME
     swift-object-replicator - OpenStack Swift object replicator


SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/swift/swift-object-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. Object replication uses a hash  list  to
     quickly compare subsections of each partition.

     Replication  updates are push based. For object replication,
     updating is just a matter of rsyncing files to the peer. The
     replicator  also  ensures that data is removed from the sys-
     tem. When an object 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  object  replicator should be enabled and disabled using
     the Solaris Service Management Facility, smf(5).   The  ser-
     vice FMRI for the object replicator is:

       svc:/application/openstack/swift/swift-object-replicator
