Architecture ------------ -The Replication API -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Synapse will optionally expose a long poll HTTP API for extracting updates. The -API will have a similar shape to /sync in that clients provide tokens -indicating where in the log they have reached and a timeout. The synapse server -then either responds with updates immediately if it already has updates or it -waits until the timeout for more updates. If the timeout expires and nothing -happened then the server returns an empty response. - -However unlike the /sync API this replication API is returning synapse specific -data rather than trying to implement a matrix specification. The replication -results are returned as arrays of rows where the rows are mostly lifted -directly from the database. This avoids unnecessary JSON parsing on the server -and hopefully avoids an impedance mismatch between the data returned and the -required updates to the datastore. - -This does not replicate all the database tables as many of the database tables -are indexes that can be recovered from the contents of other tables. - -The format and parameters for the api are documented in -``synapse/replication/resource.py``. +The Replication Protocol +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +See ``tcp_replication.rst`` The Slaved DataStore |
