Pairing
|
Before the two nodes are paired, we are unable to determine what node is the data source and what node is the destination. To avoid confusion, we use node A and node B when referring to the two nodes. |
- Node URI
-
The URI that identifies a federation node.
- Node A
-
The node that wishes to include another node in it’s federated network — the node that initialized the pairing process.
- Node B
-
The node that wishes to join the federated network.
- NodeID A
-
Node ID of the federated node A.
- NodeID B
-
Node ID of the federated node B.
- Token A
-
The authentication token to access protected resources on node A.
- Token B
-
The authentication token to access protected resources on node B.
Data exchange
- Origin node
-
The node that shares the data to the other node. If node A requests data from node B, node B is origin, as it contains the data.
- Destination node
-
The node that receives the data from the origin node. If node A requests data from node B, node A is destination as it receives the data.
Federated node
- Node status
-
The current status of the federated node. Can be one of the following:
-
Pairing: the node is in the pairing process,
-
paired: the node has been paired successfully,
-
failed: the node failed to pair.
-
- Structure sync status
-
The current status of the structure sync. Can be one of the following:
-
Syncing: the node is currently syncing structures from the origin node,
-
synced: the node has successfully finished syncing,
-
failed: there was an error while syncing.
-
- Data sync status
-
The current status of the data sync. Can be one of the following:
-
Syncing: the node is currently syncing data from the origin node,
-
synced: the node has successfully finished syncing,
-
failed: there was an error while syncing.
