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
               log to console
           -o
           --once
               only run one pass of daemon
