I am planning to use the key-value store provided by NATS to implement a distributed locking mechanism. The KV provides "create" method which suits my need.
I am planning to run NATS in a clustered environment. If my understanding is correct then if I create KV in a replicated manner, NATS will use quorum to ensure that the write has been propagated to majority of the nodes. I am trying to keep the write speed to a minimum and would like to skip the extra synchronous writes.
I intend to write the data to KV on a single node and would like that data to get replicated to other nodes asynchronously for fail-over. Considering all read/write goes through the same node I should still be able to achieve strong consistency.
Is there a way to change the way NATS KV replicates the data?
Kind Regards,
