+# When a slave lost the connection with the master, or when the replication
+# is still in progress, the slave can act in two different ways:
+#
+# 1) if slave-serve-stale-data is set to 'yes' (the default) the slave will
+# still reply to client requests, possibly with out of data data, or the
+# data set may just be empty if this is the first synchronization.
+#
+# 2) if slave-serve-stale data is set to 'no' the slave will reply with
+# an error "SYNC with master in progress" to all the kind of commands
+# but to INFO and SLAVEOF.

+slave-serve-stale-data yes
