| <h2>HazelcastMapCacheClient</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| This implementation of distributed map cache is backed by Hazelcast. The Hazelcast connection is provided and maintained |
| by an instance of HazelcastCacheManager. One HazelcastCacheManager might serve multiple cache clients. This implementation |
| uses the IMap data structure. The identifier of the Hazelcast IMap will be the same as the value of the property Hazelcast |
| Cache Name. It is recommended for all HazelcastMapCacheClient instances to use different cache names. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The implementation supports the atomic method family defined in AtomicDistributedMapCacheClient. This is achieved by maintaining |
| a revision number for every entry. The revision is a 8 byte long integer. It is increased when the entry is updated. The value is kept |
| during modifications not part of the atomic method family but this is mainly for regular management of the entries. It is not |
| recommended to work with elements by mixing the two method families. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The convention for all the entries is to reserve the first 8 bytes for the revision. The rest of the content is the serialized payload. |
