Gluster Geo-replication uses Changelog for detecting the new or modified
files list after the last sync. Once the list of files is available, then
it passes that list of Rsync jobs. Which internally calculates the delta
changes and sync only those delta changes.

Note: Geo-replication syncs complete file if the use-tarssh option is set
to true.

If the Master volume is sharded, then Remote/Slave volume also should be
sharded Volume. Geo-rep is intelligent to detect the changes to the sharded
files and sync only those files.
