[Bug 1854718] Re: Groups of swift daemons are all forced to use the same config

[Corey Bryant]

I found these docs pretty useful:

https://opendev.org/openstack/swift/src/branch/master/doc/source/replication_network.rst
https://opendev.org/openstack/swift/src/branch/master/bin/swift-init#L23

Bug description:
  On swift storage servers there are three groups of services: account,
  container and object.

  Each of these groups is comprised of a number of services, for
  instance: server, auditor, replicator etc

  Each service has its own init script but all the services in a group
  are configured to use the same group config file eg swift-account,
  swift-account-auditor, swift-account-reaper & swift-account-replicator
  all use /etc/swift/account-server.conf.

  Obviously this causes a problem when different services need different config. In the case of a swift cluster performing global replication the replication server need "
  replication_server = true" where as the auditor needs "replication_server = false"
