Synch cache listener event with asynchronous replication

[sudheerk84]

If I set the cache distribution mode as asynchronous, will the listener event still be called synchronously(if I use synch) ?

AIUI Async mode means that commands are sent async. Events are fired on only key owners. So you will find that from the perspective of the node performing the operation the event will be fired async.

To further clarify, synch at the listener level only refers to whether the transport layer that receives an event for a key will use the same thread to make the callback, or it will instead spawn a different thread. If the listener code could be lengthy, synch should be set to false to avoid blocking the transport thread.
