NAME

       swift-container-replicator - OpenStack Swift container replicator

SYNOPSIS

       swift-container-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. Container replication uses  a  combination  of
       hashes and shared high water marks to quickly compare subsections of each partition.

       Replication  updates  are push based. Container replication push missing records over HTTP or rsync whole
       database files. The replicator also ensures that data is removed from the system. When an container  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
