DESCRIPTION

The Catmandu::Store::File::Multi is a combination of many Catmandu::FileStore-s as one access point. The Multi store inherits all the methods from Catmandu::FileStore.

By default, the Multi store tries to update records in all configured backend stores. Importing, exporting, delete and drop will be executed against all backend stores when possible.

CONFIGURATION

stores ARRAY(string)

stores ARRAY(Catmandu::FileStore)

The store configuration parameter contains an array of references to Catmandu::FileStore-s based on their name in a configuration file or instances.
