Database Replication
If you have configured a database for database replication and that database is enabled for rebalancing with the segment, legacy or bucket policy, the order of the forests in the database configuration is important, and it should be the same on the master and replica databases. If the order of the master and replica forests is different, you will see a message similar to the following in the log:
Warning: forest order mismatch: local forest XXX is at position A while foreign master forest YYY (cluster=ZZZ) is at position B.
Should you see this error, you can execute the admin:database-reorder-forests function on the replica database to reorder the forests to match the same order as on the master. If you do not reorder the forests so the master and replica match, then rebalancing will occur if replication is deconfigured.
