Kafka Replication modes
Kafka supports two replication modes: Asynchronous and Synchronous
replication. I couldnt find a property that allows you to switch between
the two.
Could someone please enlighten me on this.

Got some info on this, I think this is mostly controlled by acks.
The default value of “1” requires an explicit acknowledgement from the
partition leader that the write succeeded. The strongest guarantee that
Kafka provides is with “acks=all”, which guarantees that not only did the
partition leader accept the write, but it was successfully replicated to
all of the in-sync replicas.

please refer to the following doc.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Kafka+Replication
It talks about both the modes, I am not sure of which one is followed by
Kafka.
Also, is there a property to switch between the two.

Not sure about, what you mean by Asynchronous and Synchronous
replication. details about replication are here:
http://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#replication
Kafka producers can choose whether they wait for the message to be
acknowledged
by 0,1 or all (-1) replicas by using "acks" config property.
