We are running the replication code in production at Columbia.

We made great use of it Monday morning when one of our backend machines failed. Switching to the replica was quite simple and relatively fast (maybe 5 to 10 minutes from deciding to switch to the replica before replica was fully in action)

I consider the code to stable, though on occasion strange things happen (e.g. when user renames user.INBOX to user.saved.INBOX) and you have to restart the replication process (no downtime to Cyrus involved).

The complication is that there doesn't appear to be anyone left at CMU to release new versions of Cyrus at the moment. Poor Jeffrey Eaton seems to be the last man standing there. My own experience of running things single handed is that it doesn't leave much time for development work.


Jeff will have development help "real soon now".
