Master-Slave Replication | An uni-directional replication from source (master) to target (slave). |
Master-Master Row Synch | A special Master-Master replication in which conflict resolution is done at row level. |
Master-Slave-Snapshot Replication | A special Master-Slave replication, in which the complete data from source is copied to the target at a point-of-time. |
Master-Slave-Cascade | A Master-Slave replication topology where replication from source target is achieved through a cascade of intermediate master/slave. |
Batch ETL | An ETL in which the data from source systems are copied to target schema in a batch process, primarily to be used as for Data Warehouse based reporting. |
Real-time/Streaming ETL | An ETL in which continuous stream of data is processed and copied incrementally to the target schema, primarily used for real-time analytics. |
