Martin Stockhammer closed MRM-1733. ----------------------------------- Resolution: Won't Fix Replication will be not implemented in the near future. > Add replication and fault tolerance using Helix > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRM-1733 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRM-1733 > Project: Archiva > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: kishore gopalakrishna > Priority: Major > > As of today, Archiva does not support replication and does not support > automatic fail over. Archiva has two main storage types, the files uploaded > to the repository which uses file system for storage and metadata storage for > which Jack Rabbit is used. Archiva also supports notification mechanism where > a consumer can be notified of the changes in the repository. > In order to have fault tolerance and replication, we can have multiple > archiva instances running for redundancy. One of them will be elected as the > master and will accept writes/reads. And the remaining will be slaves and > only serve reads. The slaves can get notified from the master of every change > and it will apply the changes. When the master dies, one of the slaves will > become the master and serve writes. > Apache Helix is a newly incubated project and provides the basic building > blocks to add partition management, recovery from failure and cluster > expansion with ease. I have built a sample prototype how one can build such a > replicated file store using Helix. More information can be found here. > http://helix.incubator.apache.org/recipes/rsync_replicated_file_store.html > I have used rsync for replication and apache jci module to detect file > system changes to show case the recipe as a generic use case. However in case > of Archiva, one can use the notification mechanism provided by archiva > consumer for detecting changes and using archiva api's to fetch the changed > files. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
