NAME

       DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::Replicant - A replicated DBI Storage Role

SYNOPSIS

       This class is used internally by DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated.

DESCRIPTION

       Replicants are DBI Storages that follow a master DBI Storage.  Typically this is accomplished via an external replication system.  Please
       see the documents for DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated for more details.

       This class exists to define methods of a DBI Storage that only make sense when it's a classic 'slave' in a pool of slave databases which
       replicate from a given master database.

ATTRIBUTES

       This class defines the following attributes.

   active
       This is a boolean which allows you to programmatically activate or deactivate a replicant from the pool.  This way you can do stuff like
       disallow a replicant when it gets too far behind the master, if it stops replicating, etc.

       This attribute DOES NOT reflect a replicant's internal status, i.e. if it is properly replicating from a master and has not fallen too many
       seconds behind a reliability threshold.	For that, use "is_replicating"	and "lag_behind_master".  Since the implementation of those
       functions database specific (and not all DBIC supported DBs support replication) you should refer your database-specific storage driver for
       more information.

   master
       Reference to the master Storage.

METHODS

       This class defines the following methods.

   debugobj
       Override the debugobj method to redirect this method call back to the master.
