After a great suggestion I have completed the Aerospike XDR 5.0 Academy course.
There is something I am having difficulty understanding. To test a new implementation, I have reset my XDR configuration to include:
bin-policy=changed-and-specified shipped-bins=XDR_TEST
and I removed and added the namespace which I believe should empty the queue. The bin XDR_TEST has no role in production and the only keys from which this has a value are ones I add explicitly (literally one at a time). My expectation is that the queue should be empty and lag should be zero.
However when I run “info xdr” I see lag of 10-25 sec and a non-zero number of recoveries pending and I am not certain how that can happen.
