NAME
swift-container-updater - OpenStack Swift container updater
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/swift/swift-container-updater [CONFIG] [-h|--help] [-v|--ver-
bose] [-o|--once]
DESCRIPTION
The container updater is responsible for updating container information
in the account database. It will walk the container 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 subse-
quent listing requests - one of the other two replicas may handle the
listing.
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(7). The service FMRI for the con-
tainer updater is:
svc:/application/openstack/swift/swift-container-updater
