On the scattered cache blog post
by Galder Zamarreño
Hey Radim,
Awesome blog post on scattered cache [1]!
I think there's some extra information to be added or to be clarified in the blog itself:
1. From what I understand, scattered cache should help the embedded use case primarily? When using Hot Rod, the primary owner is always hit, so the penalty of landing in a non-owner and having to do 2 RPCs is not there. Am I right? This should be clarified in the blog post.
2. "As you can see, this algorithm cannot be easily extended to multiple owners" <- Do you mean users should never set num owners to 3 or higher? How would the system work if num owners was 1?
Some of these questions might have been answered in the design doc, but as a user, I should not be expected to read the design document to answer these questions.
If these questions are answered in the user documentation, that would be fine but I feel these are things that should be explained/clarified in the blog post itself.
Cheers,
