[jbosscache-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (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 Fix For: 3.2.0 After we implement a distributed cache based on partitioning, JBCACHE-61, 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 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
