Understand how Tungsten Replicator moves your data within Tungsten Cluster by breaking down roles, states, and internal stages from extraction to apply, so you can reason about behavior during normal operations and maintenance events.
This session clarifies extractor and applier roles plus special roles like thl-server, thl-client, and thl-applier, explains lifecycle states from START and ONLINE to OFFLINE variants and GOING-ONLINE/OFFLINE transitions, and maps each pipeline stage including parallel apply.
You’ll gain a mental model for how THL carries events and metadata, how downstream appliers continue during Primary downtime via THL roles, and which states indicate provisioning, restoring, synchronizing, or degraded binlog scenarios in a cluster.
