Hi,
With the sync module test completed, this feature will be online soon, so
I think it is necessary to describe the scene of using the sync function here.
In the case of a factory application, there are usually multiple
sub-factories and multiple general(main) factories. Each sub-factory uses an
IoTDB instance to collect data, and then synchronize the data to the general
factory for backup or analysis. A general factory can receive data from
multiple sub-factories and a sub-factory can also synchronize data to multiple
general factories. In this scenario, each IoTDB instance manages different
devices.
In the sync module, each sub-factory is a sender, a general factory is a
receiver, and senders periodically synchronizes the data to receivers. In the
above application scenario, the data of one device can only be collected by one
sender, so there is no device overlap between the data synchronized by multiple
senders. Otherwise, the application scenario of the sync module is not
satisfied.
If you have any idea of the sync application scenario, welcome to discuss
it here.
Best Regards,
