does Apache Ignite replicated cache supports both SYNC and ASYNC?

does FULL_ASYNC, FULL_SYNC and PRIMARY_SYNC from CacheWriteSynchronizationMode apply to replicated mode? https://ignite.apache.org/releases/latest/javadoc/org/apache/ignite/cache/CacheWriteSynchronizationMode.html

I ask this because a course on pluralsight (Getting Started with Apache Ignite 2) says it only applies to partitioned mode. But the ignite doc does not mention this, it even says about PRIMARY_SYNC (which is ASYNC between nodes):

"This flag only makes sense for CacheMode.PARTITIONED and CacheMode.REPLICATED modes."

SO it sounds like it applies to both.

Solution

  • Yes, it applies to both.

    The REPLICATED cache, similar to the PARTITIONED one, has primary and backup partitions, which will be updated corresponding to the configured write synchronization mode.

    You can find more details regarding that here and here.
