NAME
swift-object-replicator - OpenStack Swift object replicator
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/swift/swift-object-replicator [CONFIG] [-h|--help] [-v|--ver-
bose] [-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 fail-
ures. 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 system. 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 service FMRI for the object
replicator is:
svc:/application/openstack/swift/swift-object-replicator
