Hi,
as I'm currently looking at the code, I'm wondering if we should store
the consummers configuration into the producer. It seems like every
server that has consumers is setting up a persistent search for each
consumer, evn if the consumer are not yet connected.
Wouldn't be better to just create the persistentSearch when a consumer
actually conntects to the master server, and to avoid storing such
information into the server ? (Just wondering)
IMO: definitely. One of the reasons syncrepl is designed as it is is because
you don't need to change the provider's config when you add or remove
consumers. (Of course, this was a greater concern back before we had dynamic
config for OpenLDAP.) Only the actual consumer should need to know about its
replication configuration.
