Provide mechanism for users to control data locality when using DIST -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-359 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-359 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Distributed Cache Affects Versions: 4.0.0.Final Reporter: Tero Heinonen Assignee: Mircea Markus Labels: affinity, hackathon Fix For: 5.0.0.BETA1, 5.0.0.Final Programmable affinity either through: 1) statically (e.g. annotating a certain field as the key for consistent hashing) - in our case this cannot be based on the hashCode() as the affinity requirement and object identity are not directly related 2) dynamically (e.g. providing a overridable/annotatable consistentHashCode() function) This would help to assign entities (in multiple Caches), which are needed together in the same nodes (to avoid remote lookups)
