Reseeding a replica

If any of a replica's write-ahead log or snapshot files are corrupted or deleted, you can reseed the replica. This procedure works only if the master's write-ahead logs are present.

  1. Stop the replica using the tt stop command.

  2. Delete write-ahead logs and snapshots stored in the var/lib/<instance_name> directory.

  3. Start the replica using the tt start command. The replica should catch up with the master by retrieving all the master's tuples.

  4. (Optional) If you're reseeding a replica after a replication conflict, you also need to restart replication.
