Overview of Viewing the Replica List of a Partition

From either the Tree View or the list of Partitions and Servers, you can select a partition and view:

However, from either of these two views, you will not get a complete list of each server's view. The replica list shown is the view of the first server to respond to the request. The Replica Read field in the information bar tells which server was read.

Other servers holding a replica of the chosen partition may have different views of where the partition's replicas are stored.

To get a complete view of a partition's replica list, use the Partition Continuity view. This view displays all of the servers that hold a replica of the chosen partition, as well as each server's view of where replicas of the chosen partition are stored.


Overview of Viewing Replica Information

This is a safe operation that you can perform under all circumstances.

The most significant reason to view information about a replica is to view its synchronization information. (You can gather most of the information about a replica without leaving the main view you're working from.)

This operation allows you to view the following details about a replica:

You can also get additional help on the specific synchronization error by pushing the blue question mark button at the end of the error number line.
