|
||
When a replica is in the process of synchronizing with its master, all DB
|
||
operations are blocked until such a time as the synchronization is completed.
|
||
For replicas with a heavy read load, these blocked operations may represent an
|
||
unacceptable loss in throughput.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You can configure DB so that it will not block when synchronization is in
|
||
process. Instead, the DB operation will fail,
|
||
|
||
<span>
|
||
immediately returning a <tt class="literal">DB_REP_LOCKOUT</tt> error.
|
||
</span>
|
||
|
||
|
||
When this happens, it is up to your application to your application to determine
|
||
what action to take (that is, logging the event, making an appropriate user
|
||
response, retrying the operation, and so forth).
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
To turn off blocking on synchronization, specify
|
||
<span>
|
||
<tt class="literal">DB_REP_CONF_NOWAIT</tt> to
|
||
<tt class="methodname">DB_ENV->rep_set_config()</tt>
|
||
|
||
and then specify <tt class="literal">1</tt> to the <tt class="literal">onoff</tt>
|
||
parameter. (Specify <tt class="literal">0</tt> to turn the feature off.)
