Syntax

public enum ReplicaRole

	Member name	Description
	ActiveSecondary	Refers to a replica in the set that receives state updates from the Primary replica, applies them, and sends acknowledgements back. Secondary replicas must participate in the write quorum for a replica set. There can be multiple active Secondary replicas in a replica set at a time. The number of active Secondary replicas is configurable that the reliability subsystem should maintain.
	IdleSecondary	Refers to a replica in the set that receives a state transfer from the Primary replica to prepare for becoming an active Secondary replica. There can be multiple Idle Secondary replicas in a replica set at a time. Idle Secondary replicas do not count as a part of a write quorum.
	None	Specifies that the replica has no responsibility in regard to the replica set.
	Primary	Refers to the replica in the set on which all read and write operations are complete in order to enforce strong consistency semantics. Read operations are handled directly by the Primary replica, while write operations must be acknowledged by a quorum of the replicas in the replica set. There can only be one Primary replica in a replica set at a time.
	Unknown	Indicates the initial role that a replica is created in.

Service Fabric requires different behaviors from a service replica depending on what role it currently performs.
