Kaha Persistence

Kaha Peristence is a storage solution written especially for message persistence and is part of the ActiveMQ Classic project. It’s tuned to provide optimal performance for typical message usage patterns, which involves writing/reading and discarding messages that are persisted very quickly.

Data stored in Kaha is appended to data logs - the log files are discarded once there is no longer interest in the data contained in the log.

Configuring Kaha Persistence

In the broker XML specify the persistence adaptor to be Kaha e.g.

ActiveMQ Classic 5.0 and above:

<broker brokerName="broker" persistent="true" useShutdownHook="false">
  <transportConnectors>
    <transportConnector uri="tcp://localhost:61616"/>
  </transportConnectors>
  <persistenceAdapter>
    <kahaPersistenceAdapter directory="activemq-data" maxDataFileLength="33554432"/>
  </persistenceAdapter>
</broker>

ActiveMQ Classic 4.1 and earlier:

<broker brokerName="broker" persistent="true" useShutdownHook="false">
  <transportConnectors>
    <transportConnector uri="tcp://localhost:61616"/>
  </transportConnectors>
  <persistenceAdapter>
    <kahaPersistenceAdapter dir="activemq-data" maxDataFileLength="33554432"/>
  </persistenceAdapter>
</broker>
