+# Local dataset replication
+
+
+The [Localpod](https://docs.spiceai.org/components/data-connectors/localpod) Data Connector allows you to link datasets in a parent/child relationship within the current Spicepod. This helps you set up multiple levels of data acceleration for a single dataset and ensures the data is downloaded only once from the remote source.
+
+```yaml
+version: v1beta1
+kind: Spicepod
+name: localpod
+
+datasets:
+    - from: file:data.csv
+      name: time_series
+      description: taxi trips in s3
+      params:
+        file_format: parquet
+      acceleration:
+        enabled: true
+        refresh_check_interval: 15s
+        refresh_mode: full
+    - from: localpod:time_series
+      name: local_time_series
+      acceleration:
+        enabled: true
+        engine: duckdb
+        mode: file
+
+```
+
+:::note
+
+The parent dataset must have `refresh_mode` set to `full` in order for the `localpod` data connector to function. See [here](https://docs.spiceai.org/components/data-connectors/localpod#synchronized-refreshes) for more information
+
+:::
+
+## Running this quickstart
+
+In a new terminal, start `spice` with `spice run`.
+
+You should see terminal output like so:
+
+```shell
+$ spice run

+```
+
+
+
+### Querying the `localpod`
+
+In a new terminal, start `spice sql` and run these two queries to validate that both datasets contain the same number of rows:
+
+```shell
+$ spice sql
+
+sql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM time_series;
++----------+
+| count(*) |
++----------+
+| 0        |
++----------+
+
+Time: 0.004800375 seconds. 1 rows.
+sql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM local_time_series;
++----------+
+| count(*) |
++----------+
+| 0        |
++----------+
+
+
+Time: 0.005054417 seconds. 1 rows.
+```
+
+### Updating the parent dataset
+
+Let's insert new data into the parent dataset and see the `localpod` update. In a new terminal, navigate to this sample directory and run the following:
+
+```shell
+$ ./generate_data.sh
+```
+
+In the terminal where `spice run` is running, you should see a message indicating the new data is loaded:
+
+```shell
+2024-10-30T01:37:24.266411Z  INFO runtime::accelerated_table::refresh_task: Loaded 1,000 rows (48.16 kiB) for dataset time_series in 3ms.
+2024-10-30T01:37:24.266422Z  INFO runtime::accelerated_table::refresh_task: Loaded 1,000 rows (48.16 kiB) for dataset local_time_series in 3ms.
+```
+
+And the same SQL queries as above will give updated results:
+
+```shell
+sql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM time_series;
++----------+
+| count(*) |
++----------+
+| 1000     |
++----------+
+
+Time: 0.006115708 seconds. 1 rows.
+sql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM local_time_series;
++----------+
+| count(*) |
++----------+
+| 1000     |
++----------+
+
+Time: 0.005385625 seconds. 1 rows.
+```
+
+The `local_time_series` dataset is faster because it's accelerated locally using [DuckDB](https://docs.spiceai.org/components/data-accelerators/duckdb)
