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
