Hi guys
As you know, I'm working on ISPN-3051, allowing each node to take a
higher or lower proportion of the entries in the cache. I've implemented
this by adding a float "loadFactor" setting in each node's
configuration, with 1 being the default and any positive value being
accepted (including 0).
There are two questions I wanted to ask you about the configuration:
1. What do you think about the "loadFactor" name? I started having
doubts about it, since it has a very different meaning in HashMap. I
have come up with a couple alternatives, but I don't love any of them:
"proportionalLoad" and "proportionalCapacity".
I think capacity is a good name...
2. Where should we put this setting? I have added it as
CacheConfiguration.clustering().hash().loadFactor(), but I can't think
of a reason for having different values for each cache, so we might as
well put it in the global configuration.
My vote is to having it per cache, so we can support use cases like this:
having 2 caches in the same node but one is more prioritized/requested
than the other and you may want to keep more data for the prioritized cache.
Cheers
Dan
