[infinispan-dev] IMPORTANT API additions in ISPN-2281 pull req

Hi all, Re: https://github.com/infinispan/infinispan/pull/1790 **There's some bits that require a look from all core developers**: - AdvancedCache.put(K key, V value, Metadata metadata) - interface Metadata - interface Equivalence<T> - interface TypeConverter<K, V, KT, VT> The rest of the code can be left reviewed by a couple of people, one of them being Tristan who's very familiar with the problem and indeed came up with some of the ideas there (kudos Tristan!) :) It contains embedded/hotrod compatibility work, and some extra goodies that should reduce the memory consumption of Hot Rod servers. This was a good opportunity to add these improvements, including new API to pass in metadata. Please note that some Memcached tests are failing, as explained in the pull req. I'll get them sorted tomorrow morning. Cheers, -- Galder Zamarreño galder(a)redhat.com twitter.com/galderz Project Lead, Escalante http://escalante.io Engineer, Infinispan http://infinispan.org
