Redis slaves in write accepting mode

[Raju Divakaran]

Hello,

I am planning to setup a slave or replication for the current stand alone redis instance am having. I ready many docs and looks to me as its not that tough or complex. But few doubts that am not able to solve are

1) Is there a way to control the speed in which the replication will finish ( considering I am having near to 12 million keys )

2) For 12 million keys and always not less than 12GB of in memory data, what would be the recommended setting for the replication buffer.

3) At a point I switch the slave to accept writes, how does redis make sure all writes are done on slaves as well ? Is that from the point I enable writes, clients that writes data to master gets pushed via the master slave sync to slave as well ? Please explain.

Thanks very much
