The SCSP SEND method applies to both named and unnamed objects. The SEND request allows explicit transmission of a newly written object from a source cluster to a remote one, such as for keeping two clusters immediately synchronized. The feed SEND method works with any feed type as of Swarm 11.2, so it can force synchronous processing of a specific object on one or more of those feeds.

...

The SEND request needs query arguments for feedid, feedtype, or both, which is a union of all those provided arguments; SEND reverts to the legacy behavior if neither is provided. 

Argument

Values, Examples

Notes

admin

none

SEND is used by an admin user. This requires the admin query argument and a system user/password sent as a digest.

feedid

all | integer

feedid=all 

feedid=1&feedid=3

Specifies one or more specific feeds as the replication destination. Reference existing feed IDs (feedid=1&feedid=3) or use the special value “all” to refer to all feeds, including no feed. Select Cluster > Feeds, and locate the ID column to find the ID number for a feed in the Swarm UI:

Swarm returns a 400 Bad Request error if an integer value is not an existing feed. The SEND operation succeeds if the object being sent does not match the feed definition (because of a domain restriction), but no data is transferred.

feedtype

all | search | replication | s3backup

feedtype=all

feedtype=replication
   &feedtype=search

Specifies one or more types of feeds as the replication destination, from among these values: search, indexing, replication, s3backup.  (The values search and indexing are synonymous.) Use the special value “all” to refer to all feed types, including no feed.

Swarm returns an HTTP 400 Bad Request error if the feedtype is not a valid value. The SEND operation succeeds if the object being sent does not match the feed definition (because of a domain restriction), but no data is transferred.

timeout

true | number of seconds | false

timeout=true

timeout=60

Sets how long to wait for replication to complete; if disabled (false; not recommended), feed processing can go on indefinitely if a feed is blocked. 

Using timeout=true waits for the Swarm setting scsp.defaultFeedSendTimeout time in seconds, which defaults to 30.

Specifying a positive number for the timeout overrides the value in the Swarm setting.

force

yes | no | true | false

If the value is true or yes, Swarm forces re-processing of the object though any associated feeds for objects previously processed.
