It has been optimized to provide even faster persistence than KahaDB. It's similar to KahahDB but instead of using a custom B-Tree implementation to index the write ahead logs, it uses <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/" rel="nofollow">LevelDB</a> based indexes which have several nice properties due to the 'append only' files access patterns :</p><ul><li>Fast updates (No need to do random disk updates)</li><li>Concurrent reads</li><li>Fast index snapshots using hard links</li></ul><p>Both KahaDB and the LevelDB store have to do periodic garbage collection cycles to determine which log files can deleted. In the case of KahaDB, this can be quite expensive as you increase the amount of data stored and can cause read/write stalls while the collection occurs. The LevelDB store uses a much cheaper algorithm to determine when log files can be collected and avoids those stalls.</p><h2 id="LevelDBStore-Configuration">Configuration</h2><p>You can configure ActiveMQ to use LevelDB for its persistence adapter - like below :</p><div class="code panel pdl" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent pdl">
