The is a type of work queue that uses a number of worker threads that watch a queue and pick up an operation to process whenever one becomes available. The traditional work queue is a FIFO queue serviced by a fixed number of worker threads. This fixed number of threads can be changed on the fly, with the change taking effect as soon as it is made. You can limit the size of the work queue to a specified number of operations. When this many operations are in the queue, waiting to be picked up by threads, any new requests are rejected with an error message. ds-cfg-traditional-work-queue ds-cfg-work-queue org.opends.server.extensions.TraditionalWorkQueue Specifies the number of worker threads to be used for processing operations placed in the queue. If the value is increased, the additional worker threads are created immediately. If the value is reduced, the appropriate number of threads are destroyed as operations complete processing. Let the server decide. ds-cfg-num-worker-threads Specifies the maximum number of queued operations that can be in the work queue at any given time. If the work queue is already full and additional requests are received by the server, then the server front end, and possibly the client, will be blocked until the work queue has available capacity. 1000 ds-cfg-max-work-queue-capacity
