########## File path: src/couch_replicator/README.md ########## @@ -0,0 +1,295 @@ +Developer Oriented Replicator Description +========================================= + +This description of scheduling replicator's functionality is mainly geared to +CouchDB developers. It dives a bit into the internal and explains how +everything is connected together. + +A natural place to start is the top applicatin supervisor: +`couch_replicator_sup`. It's a `rest_for_one` so if a child process +terminates, the rest of the childred in the hierarchy following it are also +terminated. This structure implies a useful constraint -- children lower in +the list can safely call their siblings which are higher in the list. + +A description of each child: + + * `couch_replication_event`: Starts a gen_event publication bus to handle some + replication related events. This used for example, to publish cluster + membership changes by the `couch_replicator_clustering` process. But is + also used in replication tests to minotor for replication events.
