Avoid serializing key for storage of metadata in JPACacheStore -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-4529 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-4529 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Loaders and Stores Reporter: Sanne Grinovero We don't need to define a MetadataEntity in advance which uses byte[] as a primary key, we could generate the entity as a dynamic definition using the same key of the object. That gets us: - better storage efficiency - no need to unmarshall/marshall - options for cascade delete or inline update In fact the whole MetadataEntity could (if the user doesn't mind changing his tables) be incorporated in the entity itself.
