=head1 NAME
DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::Replicant - A replicated DBI Storage Role
=head1 SYNOPSIS
This class is used internally by L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated>.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Replicants are DBI Storages that follow a master DBI Storage. Typically this
is accomplished via an external replication system. Please see the documents
for L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated> for more details.
This class exists to define methods of a DBI Storage that only make sense when
it's a classic 'slave' in a pool of slave databases which replicate from a
given master database.
=head1 ATTRIBUTES
This class defines the following attributes.
=head2 active
This is a boolean which allows you to programmatically activate or deactivate a
replicant from the pool. This way you can do stuff like disallow a replicant
when it gets too far behind the master, if it stops replicating, etc.
This attribute DOES NOT reflect a replicant's internal status, i.e. if it is
properly replicating from a master and has not fallen too many seconds behind a
reliability threshold. For that, use L</is_replicating> and L</lag_behind_master>.
Since the implementation of those functions database specific (and not all DBIC
supported DBs support replication) you should refer your database-specific
storage driver for more information.

=head2 master
Reference to the master Storage.

=head1 METHODS
This class defines the following methods.
=head2 debugobj
Override the debugobj method to redirect this method call back to the master.

my $self = shift;
