Mode

The mode determines whether messages will be written to the store synchronously or asynchronously. This property is required for both file and mstore types.

Mode is either:

  • async — the server stores messages in this file using asynchronous I/O calls.
  • sync — the server stores messages in this file using synchronous I/O calls.

When no value is given for this property, the default for file-based stores is async. The default mode for mstores is sync.

Classic Configuration

Set the mode using the mode property in the stores.conf file:

mode=async|sync
