OpenStack Object Storage (swift)

Why not object-replicator push object to handoff location?

Asked by Hugo Kou

Hi folks ,

I'm interesting about that why object-replicator does not push object to a handoff node?

So what's the usage of get_more_node function in replicator.py

The object replicator will push an object to a handoff node if another primary node returns that the drive the object is supposed to go on is bad. We don't push to handoff nodes on general errors, otherwise things like network partitions or rebooting machines would cause storms of unneeded handoff traffic.
