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.
