Replication Yandex StoreDoc

Written by

Updated at May 7, 2026

Yandex StoreDoc supports replication by default: if a cluster has multiple active hosts, they automatically select a primary replica to process write queries.

When changing the primary replica manually, Yandex StoreDoc will automatically select a new primary replica from the available hosts.

Assigning a different host as a master if the primary master failsAssigning a different host as a master if the primary master fails

If the master host fails, Yandex StoreDoc will automatically select a new master from among the available hosts.

You can influence master selection in a Yandex StoreDoc cluster by configuring priorities for cluster hosts. The host with the highest priority will become a new master.

You can set the host priority using the YC CLI, API, or Terraform:

  • When creating a cluster or a host in a cluster.
  • When changing the host settings.

Minimum value (lowest priority): 0. A host with such priority value can become a master only if there are no other hosts suitable for the role. Default priority value: 1. You can specify a value higher than 100.
