<p>
By default, messages are sent from the master to replicas as they are generated.
This can degrade replication performance because the various participating
environments must handle a fair amount of network I/O activity.
</p>
<p>
You can alleviate this problem by configuring your master environment for bulk
transfers. Bulk transfers simply cause replication messages to accumulate in a
buffer until a triggering event occurs. When this event occurs, the entire
contents of the buffer is sent to the replica, thereby eliminating excessive
network I/O.
</p>
<p>
Note that if you are using replica to replica transfers, then you might want any
replica that can service replication requests to also be configured for bulk
transfers.
</p>
<p>
The events that result in a bulk transfer of replication messages to a replica
will differ depending on if the transmitting environment is a master or a
replica.
</p>
<p>
If the servicing environment is a master environment, then bulk transfer
occurs when:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Bulk transfers are configured for the master environment, and
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
the message buffer is full or
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
a permanent record (for example, a transaction commit or a
checkpoint record) is placed in the buffer for the replica.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
If the servicing environment is a replica environment (that is, replica to replica
transfers are in use), then a bulk transfer occurs when:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Bulk transfers are configured for the transmitting replica, and
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
the message buffer is full or
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
the replica servicing the request is able to completely satisfy
the request with the contents of the message buffer.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
To configure bulk transfers, specify
<span>
<code class="literal">ReplicationConfig.BULK</code> and
<code class="literal">true</code> to
<code class="methodname">Environment.setReplicationConfig()</code>.
To turn off this feature, specify
<code class="literal">false</code> for the
<code class="literal">ReplicationConfig.BULK</code> field.
