[hibernate-dev] Re: [infinispan-dev] Hibernate Search alternative Directory distribution

[Emmanuel Bernard]

I am not sure I understand.
I assume that caches somehow have a unique identifier to recognize  
themselves in a cluster right?
So you have a CacheManager created on each node and by this "unique  
identifier", you can add a cache node to a given grid.

Infinitians, more infos?
