MongoDB. has filed a patent for a database cluster to cluster synchronization system. The system includes replicators monitoring changes in data on source clusters and translating them into database operations on destination clusters. Each replicator corresponds to a subset of the source cluster, allowing for parallel replication.

A patent application (Publication Number: US20230394064A1) describes a system for replicating data from a source database cluster to a destination database cluster using multiple replicators. Each replicator is responsible for replicating data from a specific subset of the source database cluster to the destination database cluster. The system allows for parallel replication of data from different subsets of the source database cluster to enhance efficiency. Additionally, the replicators can monitor change streams, translate data changes into database operations, and replicate indexes of data while ensuring consistency and detecting index violations.

Furthermore, the system includes features such as suspending and resuming replication operations, reversing replication upon user command, and performing initial replication followed by continuous replication based on subsequent data changes. The destination database cluster maintains a last state for each document, allowing replicators to detect change events, retrieve the last state, and determine whether to apply the change based on the document's history. These functionalities ensure data integrity, efficient replication, and the ability to handle various scenarios such as index violations and user-initiated replication reversals. The system's design and capabilities aim to provide a robust and flexible data replication solution for database clusters.
