Description

We could, for catchup, simply send over a manifest of a downstream librarian's stores to an upstream librarian, and have them entered as remote instances of those files (including checksum checking).

So a procedure would look like this:

  • Librarian A dumps a manifest_A
  • Files and manifest_A copied
  • Files ingested into Librarian B using manifest_A
  • Librarian B dumps manifest_B
  • Manifest_B is copied to Librarian A host
  • Librarian A 'ingests' manifest_B as a remote instance table for Librarian B

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing manifest handling and remote-instance table paths, then determine how the described dump, copy, ingestion, and checksum steps fit together; done means the procedure works in both directions with verified file instances.
