Modifying Synchronous Replication and Flushing Settings¶
Synchronous replication: A message is returned to the client only after the message creation request has been received and the message has been acknowledged by all replicas.
Synchronous flushing: A message is immediately flushed to disk once created.
Enabled: A message is immediately flushed to disk once it is created, resulting in higher reliability.
Disabled: A message is stored in the memory instead of being immediately flushed to disk once created.
The following procedure describes how to modify synchronous replication and synchronous flushing settings on the console.
