NAME¶
swift-account-replicator - OpenStack Swift account replicator
SYNOPSIS¶
swift-account-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. Account replication uses a combination of
hashes and shared high water marks to quickly compare subsections of each
partition.
Replication updates are push based. Account replication push missing records
over HTTP or rsync whole database files. The replicator also ensures that data
is removed from the system. When an account 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
- -o
- --once
- only run one pass of daemon
