Feedback: Import data into a database

[pkm93]

Page https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/databases/import-data

Might be worth describing the differences in import dataset from a non-clustered (standalone) db vs a clustered db (multiple shards).

Non-clustered / Standalone - single rdb file of data from a single shard.

Clustered - multiple rdb files (one for data from each shard) need to be provided by the user and in case a file is missed due to human error, there's no warning so user must be doublecheck that they have got all the files.

Additionally, need to describe the behavior when initiating import on databases that are a replicaOf or part of an active-active cluster and include the necessary warnings.

@pkm93 Hi, thanks for sending this over. I'm not aware of any specific behavior for replica Of or Active-Active - do you have any more information on this?

@pkm93 I tried to address this issue with information from @joniredis and @AdarBahar. Could you take a look at the attached pull request to verify that it addresses your concerns? If I don't hear from you in the next week, I will merge it and close this issue.
