Abstract
The distributed database can implement unstructured data replication using an internal or external storage location. Metadata, such as a directory table that lists the unstructured files, can be replicated across different deployments, followed by replication of the staged data. Replicating the staged data can be implemented by replication of only the stage metadata or replication of the database files between the deployments.
