Replication Write Forwarding

New Parameter Values

Replication can now forward simple DB->put() and DB->del() write operations from a client site to the master site. These write operations must specify a NULL transaction handle in order to be forwarded. Each forwarded write operation is performed in its own transaction on the master site.

New Parameter Values

  • DB_REPMGR_CONF_FORWARD_WRITES — A new which parameter value for the DB_ENV->rep_set_config() method to indicate that write forwarding is enabled.
  • DB_REP_WRITE_FORWARD_TIMEOUT — A new which parameter value for the DB_ENV->rep_set_timeout() method to indicate the amount of time a replication client waits for a response from a forwarded write operation.
