Description of problem: Hi, When testing the RGW Multisite(16.2.8-85.el8cp) sync policy, modifications/updates to objects take place during the zonegroup or bucket replication is set to "Allowed" or "Disabled" don't reconcile/sync once we configure the replication of the zonegroup or bucket to "enabled". So for the simplest example at the zonegroup level, I create zone1/zone2 symmetrical replication: $ radosgw-admin sync group create --group-id=us --status=enabled --rgw-zonegroup=multizone --rgw-zone=zone2 $ radosgw-admin sync group flow create --group-id=us --flow-id=us-1-to-2 --flow-type=symmetrical --zones=zone1,zone2 --rgw-zonegroup=multizone --rgw-realm=multisite --rgw-zone=zone2 $ radosgw-admin sync group pipe create --group-id=us --pipe-id=ussynctoall --source-zones='*' --source-bucket='*' --dest-zones='*' --dest-bucket='*' --rgw-zone=zone2 $ radosgw-admin period update --commit I then upload objects to bucket1 in zone2, that get replicated ok. $ aws s3 --profile ms --endpoint http://zone2:8080 ls s3://bucket1/ 2022-12-14 15:20:22 4066 hosts 2022-12-15 14:55:54 4066 hosts1 2022-12-15 15:22:35 4066 hosts2 $ aws s3 --profile ms --endpoint http://zone1:8080 ls s3://bucket1/ 2022-12-14 15:20:22 4066 hosts 2022-12-15 14:55:54 4066 hosts1 2022-12-15 15:22:35 4066 hosts2 I then set the sync group to allowed: $ radosgw-admin sync group modify --group-id=us --status=allowed $ radosgw-admin period update --commit Upload objects to bucket1 in zone2, and they don't get replicated, so expected behaviour. $ aws s3 --profile ms --endpoint http://zone2:8080 ls s3://bucket1/ 2022-12-14 15:20:22 4066 hosts 2022-12-15 14:55:54 4066 hosts1 2022-12-15 15:22:35 4066 hosts2 2022-12-14 17:23:52 4066 hosts3 2022-12-14 17:27:02 4066 hosts4 2022-12-14 17:27:15 4066 hosts5 $ aws s3 --profile ms --endpoint http://zone1:8080 ls s3://bucket1/ 2022-12-14 15:20:22 4066 hosts 2022-12-15 14:55:54 4066 hosts1 2022-12-15 15:22:35 4066 hosts2 I then set the zonegroup replication back to 'Enabled': $ radosgw-admin sync group modify --group-id=us --status=enabled $ radosgw-admin period update --commit And copy one new object host6: $ aws s3 --profile ms --endpoint http://zone2:8080 ls s3://bucket1/ 2022-12-14 15:20:22 4066 hosts 2022-12-15 14:55:54 4066 hosts1 2022-12-15 15:22:35 4066 hosts2 2022-12-14 17:23:52 4066 hosts3 2022-12-14 17:27:02 4066 hosts4 2022-12-14 17:27:15 4066 hosts5 2022-12-14 17:29:15 4066 hosts6 host6 file gets replicated ok but files hosts3-5 that were uploaded during the time the zone replication was in 'Allowed' state don't get synced: $ aws s3 --profile ms --endpoint http://zone2:8080 ls s3://bucket1/ 2022-12-14 15:20:22 4066 hosts 2022-12-15 14:55:54 4066 hosts1 2022-12-15 15:22:35 4066 hosts2 2022-12-14 17:29:15 4066 hosts6 From what I see in this tracker this is expected behaviour? https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/57489 This behaviour is different from what customers expect. Getting an automated sync of all the modified objects during the 'Allowed' state would be a critical feature for customers to keep their buckets in sync between zones without manual intervention.
