Replication

Replication allows you to replicate data onto another machine. It forms the basis of all disaster recovery and failover features ArangoDB offers. For more information, refer to ArangoDB manual.

Example:

from arango import ArangoClient

# Initialize the ArangoDB client.
client = ArangoClient()

# Connect to "test" database as root user.
db = client.db('test', username='root', password='passwd')

# Get the Replication API wrapper.
replication = db.replication

# Create a new dump batch.
batch = replication.create_dump_batch(ttl=1000)

# Extend an existing dump batch.
replication.extend_dump_batch(batch['id'], ttl=1000)

# Get an overview of collections and indexes.
replication.inventory(
    batch_id=batch['id'],
    include_system=True,
    all_databases=True
)

# Get an overview of collections and indexes in a cluster.
replication.cluster_inventory(include_system=True)

# Get the events data for given collection.
replication.dump(
    collection='students',
    batch_id=batch['id'],
    lower=0,
    upper=1000000,
    chunk_size=0,
    include_system=True,
    ticks=0,
    flush=True,
)

# Delete an existing dump batch.
replication.delete_dump_batch(batch['id'])

# Get the logger state.
replication.logger_state()
