             Summary: Introduce a periodic disk sync mode for KahaDB journal
                 Key: AMQ-6377
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-6377
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Broker, KahaDB
    Affects Versions: 5.13.4
            Reporter: Christopher L. Shannon
            Assignee: Christopher L. Shannon


KahaDB has two modes for journal disk syncs, either always sync for each write or never sync.  I'm proposing that we add a third option, a period disk sync. 

The intended behavior of this would be to run a task in the file appender that would sync the file (if necessary) at some periodic interval (such as every 500 ms, or 1 second, etc) instead of every write.  The file would also be synced on close (on file rollover or shutdown)

In my testing, syncing every 1 second has been proven to be nearly indistinguishable performance as never disk syncing but is a safer option as you insure that a sync is performed at least once per interval.
