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
