Replication Manager Service	The web UI that runs on the Cloudera Data Platform host.
Data center	The facility that contains the computer, server, and storage systems and associated infrastructure, such as routers and switches. Corporate data is stored, managed, and distributed from the data center. In an on-premises environment, a data center is often composed of a CDH cluster or CDP Private Cloud Base cluster.

On-premises cluster	A CDH cluster in a data center or a CDP Private Cloud Base cluster, with Apache services running, such as HDFS, Yarn, HMS, Hiveserver2, Ranger, and Atlas. Replication behavior is similar to IaaS cluster replication. The data is on local HDFS.
Replication policy	A set of rules applied to a replication relationship. The rules include which clusters serve as source and destination, the type of data to replicate, the schedule for replicating data, and so on.
Job	An instance of a replication policy that is running or is completed
Source cluster	The cluster that contains the source data that is replicated to a destination cluster. Source data could be an HDFS dataset, Hive database, or HBase tables.
Target cluster	The cluster to which the data is replicated.
