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".
Since this is
"per-node", you want to use the "node" word in there, so
"nodeCapacity" would be good. Can this value change at runtime ?
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.
Yes, global sounds good. And don't
forget server :)
