[infinispan-dev] Doubt Regarding Infinispan Cache Creation limit

[Adrian Nistor]

Hi Faseela,

Are you using only the Map API or also using Query or maybe plan adding 
it later? If so, then needlessly splitting the data into multiple 
smaller caches might became a problem for Query because it is not 
capable to search across multiple caches at the same time. If your 
domain requires queries across multiple caches you'll have to execute it 
manually on each one and collect the results - quite a nuissance.  This 
point is strictly from Query standpoint; ignore if it's not in your use 
case.

Cheers,
Adrian
