Distributed, persistent cache using EHCache
- by Richard
I currently have a distributed cache using EHCache via RMI that works just fine. I was wondering if you can include persistence with the caches to create a distributed, persistent cache.
Alongside this, if the cache was persistent, would it load from the file store, then bootstrap from the cache cluster? Basically, what I want is:
Cache starts
Cache loads persistent objects from the file store
Cache joins the distruted cluster and bootstraps as normal
The usecase behind this is having 2 identical components running on independent machines, distributing the cache to avoid losing data in the event that one of the components fails. The persistence would guard against losing all data on the rare occasion that both components fail.
Would moving to another distribution method (such as Terracotta) support this?
