A sync module allows for a set of actions +to be performed whenever a change in data occurs (metadata ops like bucket or +user creation etc. are also regarded as changes in data). As the rgw multisite +changes are eventually consistent at remote sites, changes are propagated +asynchronously. This would allow for unlocking use cases such as backing up the +object storage to an external cloud cluster or a custom backup solution using +tape drives, indexing metadata in ElasticSearch etc. + +A sync module configuration is local to a zone. The sync module determines +whether the zone exports data or can only consume data that was modified in +another zone. As of luminous the supported sync plugins are `elasticsearch`_, +``rgw``, which is the default sync plugin that synchronises data between the +zones and ``log`` which is a trivial sync plugin that logs the metadata +operation that happens in the remote zones. The following docs are written with +the example of a zone using `elasticsearch sync module`_, the process would be similar +for configuring any sync plugin + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 1 + + ElasticSearch Sync Module + Cloud Sync Module + PubSub Module + Archive Sync Module + +.. note ``rgw`` is the default sync plugin and there is no need to explicitly + configure this + +Requirements and Assumptions +---------------------------- + +Let us assume a simple multisite configuration as described in the `Multisite`_ +docs, of 2 zones ``us-east`` and ``us-west``, let's add a third zone +``us-east-es`` which is a zone that only processes metadata from the other +sites. This zone can be in the same or a different ceph cluster as ``us-east``. +This zone would only consume metadata from other zones and RGWs in this zone +will not serve any end user requests directly. + + +Configuring Sync Modules +------------------------ + +Create the third zone similar to the `Multisite`_ docs, for example + +:: + + # radosgw-admin zone create --rgw-zonegroup=us --rgw-zone=us-east-es \ + --access-key={system-key} --secret={secret} --endpoints=http://rgw-es:80 + + + +A sync module can be configured for this zone via the following + +:: + + # radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-zone={zone-name} --tier-type={tier-type} --tier-config={set of key=value pairs} + + +For example in the ``elasticsearch`` sync module + +:: + + # radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-zone={zone-name} --tier-type=elasticsearch \ + --tier-config=endpoint=http://localhost:9200,num_shards=10,num_replicas=1 + + +For the various supported tier-config options refer to the `elasticsearch sync module`_ docs + +Finally update the period + + +:: + + # radosgw-admin period update --commit + + +Now start the radosgw in the zone + +:: + + # systemctl start ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s` + # systemctl enable ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s` + + + +.. _`Multisite`: ../multisite +.. _`elasticsearch sync module`: ../elastic-sync-module +.. _`elasticsearch`: ../elastic-sync-module +.. _`cloud sync module`: ../cloud-sync-module +.. _`pubsub module`: ../pubsub-module +.. _`archive sync module`: ../archive-sync-module -- cgit v1.2.3
