NAME

       DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::Replicant - A replicated DBI Storage Role

SYNOPSIS

       This class is used internally by DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated.

DESCRIPTION

       Replicants are DBI Storages that follow a master DBI Storage.  Typically this is
       accomplished via an external replication system.  Please see the documents for
       DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated for more details.

       This class exists to define methods of a DBI Storage that only make sense when it's a
       classic 'slave' in a pool of slave databases which replicate from a given master database.

ATTRIBUTES

       This class defines the following attributes.

   active
       This is a boolean which allows you to programmatically activate or deactivate a replicant
       from the pool.  This way you can do stuff like disallow a replicant when it gets too far
       behind the master, if it stops replicating, etc.

       This attribute DOES NOT reflect a replicant's internal status, i.e. if it is properly
       replicating from a master and has not fallen too many seconds behind a reliability
       threshold.  For that, use "is_replicating"  and "lag_behind_master".  Since the
       implementation of those functions database specific (and not all DBIC supported DBs
       support replication) you should refer your database-specific storage driver for more
       information.

   master
       Reference to the master Storage.

METHODS

       This class defines the following methods.

   debugobj
       Override the debugobj method to redirect this method call back to the master.
