[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (ISPN-871) Out-of-heap data container implementation

Out-of-heap data container implementation ----------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-871 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-871 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Core API Reporter: Manik Surtani Assignee: Alban Seurat Labels: gc, performance, research Fix For: 5.1.0.BETA1, 5.1.0.Final The DataContainer interface could be implemented using a off-heap impl in C, using mmap. It would require custom memory management (gc-lite?) to reclaim free space, as well as reimplementing of eviction algorithms to maintain the contract of a self-sizing data container, but the benefits of this would be the ability to address very large amounts of memory with minimal gc overhead from the JVM.
