[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (ISPN-312) Ability to group data entries
[
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-312?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s...

Erik Salter commented on ISPN-312:
----------------------------------
How would you handle the following case?
Cache A uses a custom key class where the group is dynamically generated. Cache B's
key is an unmodifiable String that needs to be grouped with the dynamic value of a key
from Cache A. (Cache B's key can't be encapsulated in a custom key class since it
needs to be queried from external entities that will not know the group context).
The only way I can see doing this is to add a group parameter to a put() or replace()
method.
Ability to group data entries

Key: ISPN-312
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-312
Project: Infinispan
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Core API, Distributed Cache, Eviction, Locking and Concurrency
Affects Versions: 4.0.0.Final, 4.1.0.Final
Reporter: Mindaugas Žakšauskas
Assignee: Pete Muir
Priority: Minor
Labels: cache, colocation, group, grouping
Fix For: 5.1.0.BETA1
This is a spin-off from
http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/infinispan-dev/2009-December/001968.html.
The requested feature would allow distinct entries to be assigned to custom arbitrary
groups. Later in time those groups could be flushed on demand without any knowledge of
entry keys.
This feature exists in other open source cache library, see:
