Global Event Configuration
hazelcast.event.queue.capacity: default value is 1000000hazelcast.event.queue.timeout.millis: default value is 250hazelcast.event.thread.count: default value is 5
A striped executor in each node controls and dispatches the received events. This striped executor also guarantees the event order. For all events in Hazelcast, the order that events are generated and the order they are published are guaranteed for given keys. For map and multimap, the order is preserved for the operations on the same key of the entry. For list, set, topic and queue, the order is preserved for events on that instance of the distributed data structure.
You achieve the order guarantee by making only one thread responsible for a particular set of events (entry events of a key in a map, item events of a collection, etc.) in StripedExecutor.
If the event queue reaches the capacity (hazelcast.event.queue.capacity) and the last item cannot be put into the event queue for the period specified in hazelcast.event.queue.timeout.millis, these events will be dropped with a warning message, such as "EventQueue overloaded".
If event listeners are performing a computation that takes a long time, the event queue can reach its maximum capacity and lose events. For map and multimap, you can configure hazelcast.event.thread.count to a higher value so that less collision occurs for keys, and therefore worker threads will not block each other in StripedExecutor. For list, set, topic and queue, you should offload heavy work to another thread. To preserve order guarantee, you should implement similar logic with StripedExecutor in the offloaded thread pool.
