Set policy

The XDR namespace sub-stanza can pinpoint specific sets to either ship or not ship to the remote datacenter.

• All sets are shipped unless you specifically exclude some of them.
• There is no intersection between sets and bins; that is, you cannot selectively ship or exclude bins from a specific set.

What	Associated parameters	Default	Behavior of parameter combinations
Set	ship-only-specified-sets ship-set setName ignore-set setName	ship-only-specified-sets false ship-set has no default. ignore-set has no default.	To send only a specific set, specify ship-only-specified-sets true and ship-set setName. You can have multiple ship-set entries. Alternatively, to exclude a particular set, rely on the default ship-only-specified-sets false and use ignore-set setName. You can have multiple ignore-set entries.

Example shipping specific sets

In this example, for namespace someNameSpaceName, onlysetName1 and setName2 are shipped. The parameter ship-only-specified-sets is true, which is the opposite of its default false.

xdr {
    dc dataCenter1 {
        node-address-port someIpAdress1 somePort1
        namespace someNameSpaceName {
           ship-only-specified-sets true
           ship-set setName1
           ship-set setName2
        }
    }
}

Example excluding specific sets

In this example, for namespace someNameSpaceName, all sets are shipped except setName1 and setName2.

xdr {
    dc dataCenter1 {
        node-address-port someIpAdress1 somePort1
        namespace someNameSpaceName {
           ignore-set setName1
           ignore-set setName2
        }  
    }
}
