When compacting you don't touch the information in memory. So if an update or delete comes in you just update as normal. Then when the compacting is done you just do a quick switch over in memory. I don't see why you need to cache anything. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4240019#...
