Issue ID: 9652
Summary: Add "tee" capability to load balancer
Product: OpenLDAP
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: ---
Component: lloadd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
This is a request for an enhancement that would add a "tee" or "fan-out"
capability to load balancer, where received operations are sent to two or more
destinations simultaneously.
The primary goal or the enhancement is to make it possible to keep multiple
independent and likely dissimilar directory systems in lock-step with each
other over hours, days, or possibly even weeks.
The enhancement would not necessarily need to include a mechanism for
converging the target systems should they become out of sync.
This is not intended to be a replication solution, rather it is viewed more as
a "copy" solution intended to be used for specific short-term tasks that need
multiple directory systems to be exactly synchronized but where replication is
not desirable or even possible.
At least two uses come to mind:
1. Test harnesses, evaluating side-by-side operation of separate directory
systems over time
2. Directory system transition validation harnesses
3. (maybe) Part of a test harness to record or replay LDAP workloads
* Other uses?
