Replication Parameters

General Parameters

Property Description Default Value
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.replication-mode Optional values: sync, async.
- The async mode replicates Space operations to the target Space after the client receives an acknowledgment from the source Space for the operation.
- The sync mode replicates Space operations to the target Space before the client receives the acknowledgment from the source Space for the operation. The client gets the acknowledgment for the operation only after all target Spaces have confirmed the arrival of the replicated data.
async is used with the async-replicated schema.
sync is used with the sync-replicated, primary-backup and partitioned cluster schema.
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.policy-type Optional values:
* Full-replication - all objects are replicated.
* Partial-replication - objects with the @SpaceClass configured (replicate = false) will not be replicated.This allows you to control replication at a class base level.
See the POJO Metadata page for details.
partial-replication
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.repl-find-timeout Timeout (in milliseconds) to wait for the lookup of a peer Space.
This parameter applies only when the Space is searched in a Jini Lookup Service.
5000 [ms]
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.repl-full-take If set to true, the entire object is replicated when a take operation is called. If set to false, only the ID, class information, and primitive fields are replicated.
This option is valid only when replicating data to an internal target as backup, Local View, or durable notify container (the mirror gets the full entry).
false
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.replicate-notify-templates Boolean value. If set to true, the notify templates are replicated to the target Space. true
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.trigger-notify-templates Boolean value. If set to true, the replicated operations will trigger the notify templates and send events to the registered listeners. false
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.on-conflicting-packets Enum value. If set to ignore, the conflicting operations are ignored. If set to override, the newest operation will override the data in the target. ignore

Asynchronous Replication Parameters

Property Description Default Value
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.async-replication.repl-chunk-size Number of packets transmitted together on the network when the replication event is triggered. The maximum value you can assign for this property is repl-interval-opers. 500
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.async-replication.repl-interval-millis Time (in milliseconds) to wait between replication operations. 3000 [ms]
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.async-replication.repl-interval-opers Number of destructive operations to wait before replicating. 500
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.async-replication.async-channel-shutdown-timeout Determines how long (in milliseconds) the primary Space will wait for a pending replication to be replicated to its targets before shutting down. 300000 [ms]

For more information, see the Asynchronous Replication page.

Synchronous Replication Parameters

Property Description Default Value
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.sync-replication.throttle-when-inactive Boolean value. Set to true if you want to throttle replicated operations when the channel is inactive (disconnection). true in primary backup.
false in full sync replicated.
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.sync-replication.max-throttle-tp-when-inactive Integer value. If the above is true, this will specify the maximum operations per second the throttle will maintain when the channel is in-active (disconnection), if the last measured throughput when the channel was active was higher than that, the measured throughput will be used instead. 50,000 operations/second
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.sync-replication.min-throttle-tp-when-active Integer value. This specifies the minimum operations per second the throttle can reduce to when the channel is active (during asynchronous state). The throttling when the channel is active is always adapted to the current throughput and size of the redo log in order to keep the redo log size decreasing. 1,000 operations/second
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.sync-replication.target-consume-timeout The timeout time (in milliseconds) that the target Space waits for consuming replication packets. When the timeout expires, the replication channel moves to asynchronous state. 10000 [ms]

Recovery Parameters

Property Description Default Value
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.recovery-chunk-size Integer value. Defines how many operations are recovered in a single batch. 200
cluster-config.groups.group.repl-policy.recovery-thread-pool-size Integer value. Defines how many threads are recovering the data during the snapshot process. 4
com.gs.replication.replicaProgressTimeout

Timeout on recovery process (in milliseconds) to wait for the backup partition to start up.

When using the Geospatial Index feature, complex geographic features may require an increase in this parameter.

60000
