+Configuring Cluster Replication
+-------------------------------
+
+The replication plugin is designed to allow multiple primaries in a
+cluster to efficiently cooperate together via the replication event
+persistence subsystem. To enable this cooperation, the directory
+pointed to by the replication.eventsDirectory config key must reside on
+a shared filesystem, such as NFS. By default, simply pointing multiple
+primaries to the same eventsDirectory will enable some cooperation by
+preventing the same replication push from being duplicated by more
+than one primary.
+
+To further improve cooperation across the cluster, the
+replication.distributionInterval config value can be set. With
+distribution enabled, the replication queues for all the nodes sharing
+the same eventsDirectory will reflect approximately the same outstanding
+replication work (i.e. tasks waiting in the queue). Replication pushes
+which are running will continue to only be visible in the queue of the
+node on which the push is actually happening. This feature helps
+administrators get a cluster wide view of outstanding replication
+tasks, while allowing replication tasks triggered by one primary to be
+fulfilled by another node which is less busy.
+
+This enhanced replication work distribution allows the amount of
+replication work a cluster can handle to scale more evenly and linearly
+with the amount of primaries in the cluster. Adding more nodes to a
+cluster without distribution enabled will generally not allow the thread
+count per remote to be reduced without impacting service levels to those
+remotes. This is because without distribution, all events triggered by a
+node will only be fulfilled by the node which triggered the event, even
+if all the other nodes in the cluster are idle. This behavior implies
+that each node should be configured in a way that allows it alone to
+provide the level of service which each remote requires. However, with
+distribution enabled, it becomes possible to reduce the amount of
+replication threads configured per remote proportionally to the amount
+of nodes in the cluster, while maintaining the same approximate service
+level as before adding new nodes.
+
+Threads per remote reduction without service impacts is possible with
+distribution, because when configuring a node it can be expected that
+other nodes will pick up some of the work it triggers. Then the node no
+longer needs to be configured as if it were the only node in the
+cluster. For example, if a remote requires 6 threads with one node to
+achieve acceptable service, it should only take 2 threads on 3
+equivalently powered nodes to provide the same service level with
+distribution enabled. Scaling down such thread requirements per remote
+results in a reduced memory footprint per remote on each node in the
+cluster. This enables the nodes in the cluster to now scale to handle
+more remotes with the approximate same service level than without
+distribution. The amount of extra supported remotes then also scales
+approximately linearly with the extra nodes in a cluster.
