[jbosscache-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBCACHE-1418) Expose locality of data for partitioned caches

Expose locality of data for partitioned caches ---------------------------------------------- Key: JBCACHE-1418 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1418 Project: JBoss Cache Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Replication Reporter: Manik Surtani Assignee: Manik Surtani After we implement a distributed cache based on partitioning, JBCACHE-60, we should also expose a mechanism to locate data within a cluster, to help compute grid products like FishFarm (https://fishfarm.dev.java.net/) and GridGain (http://www.gridgain.org). Perhaps something like: DataLocator dl = Cache.getDataLocator(); // return a null if not using a partitioned cache? Or a specialized DataLocator that statically assumes a fully replicated cache or a local cache depending on cache mode? List<Address> addresses = dl.locate(myFqn); // locate single fqns. Return a list of addresses since it may exist on > 1 node Map<Fqn, List<Address>> as = dl.locate(fqn1, fqn2, fqn3); // locate multiple fqns
