NAME

       swift-object-replicator - OpenStack Swift object replicator

SYNOPSIS

       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 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.
