Format of broker configuration files

A broker configuration file contains the following sections:

  • Global settings: settings that apply to all broker operations
  • Alternate server definitions: the addresses and names of replica servers to which commands can be redirected in specified circumstances
  • Command handler specifications: specify how individual commands should be handled. In the absence of a command handler for any given command, the Helix Broker permits the execution of that command.
