requires the replication license feature

REPLICATION.PAUSE holds replication on this node, for example during maintenance on the network or on a replica host.

  • On a primary, writes keep being accepted and are queued for the replicas, but nothing is sent to them until you resume. Heartbeats and the acknowledgements WAIT asks for still go out.
  • On a replica, the replica stops reading its primary’s stream; it serves its data as it was when paused.

REPLICATION.INFO shows state paused until REPLICATION.RESUME. Pausing twice is harmless. A long pause on a busy primary makes the replicas fall further behind, so resume promptly.

Return value

Section titled “Return value”

Simple string OK in RESP2 and RESP3. Without a license that includes replication: NOLICENSE replication requires a HotKV license. Contact sales@hotkv.com.
