by default, it will do a sync before every reply to a send, but it tries to
batch up writes for concurrent producers. The sync reply to a a producer
send blocks pending a sync write batch.
For a sanity just use <kahaDB directory="${activemq.data}/**kahadb" /> and
post your producer.
So you should expect calls to fsync (or whatever fd.sync[1] delegates to on
solaris, fsync I think) more frequently than the default checkpoint
interval (5s).
The line of code on trunk is:
https://github.com/apache/activemq/blob/trunk/activemq-kahadb-store/src/main/java/org/apache/activemq/store/kahadb/disk/journal/DataFileAppender.java#L367
[1] java.io.FileDescriptor#sync
I just ran a sanity on trunk with org.apache.activemq.perf.KahaDBQueueTest
and it is doing the right thing.
