!CHAPTER HTTP Interface for Replication
|
|
|
|
!SUBSECTION Replication
|
|
|
|
This is an introduction to ArangoDB's HTTP replication interface.
|
|
The replication architecture and components are described in more details in
|
|
[Replication](../../Manual/Administration/Replication/index.html).
|
|
|
|
The HTTP replication interface serves four main purposes:
|
|
- fetch initial data from a server (e.g. for a backup, or for the initial synchronization
|
|
of data before starting the continuous replication applier)
|
|
- querying the state of a master
|
|
- fetch continuous changes from a master (used for incremental synchronization of changes)
|
|
- administer the replication applier (starting, stopping, configuring, querying state) on
|
|
a slave
|
|
|
|
Please note that all replication operations work on a per-database level. If an
|
|
ArangoDB server contains more than one database, the replication system must be
|
|
configured individually per database, and replicating the data of multiple
|
|
databases will require multiple operations.
