NAME

       swift-container-sync - Openstack-swift container sync

SYNOPSIS

       swift-container-sync [CONFIG] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [-o|--once]

DESCRIPTION

       Swift  has  a  feature  where  all  the contents of a container can be mirrored to another
       container through background synchronization.  Swift  cluster  operators  configure  their
       cluster to allow/accept sync requests to/from other clusters, and the user specifies where
       to sync their container to along with a secret synchronization key.

       The swift-container-sync does the job of sending updates to the remote container.  This is
       done  by  scanning the local devices for container databases and checking for x-container-
       sync-to and x-container-sync-key metadata values. If they exist, newer rows since the last
       sync will trigger PUTs or DELETEs to the other container.
