[hibernate-dev] On 2nd level cache and requirements off the cache implementor

[Emmanuel Bernard]

This is brain storming at this stage.

How much is required of a cache provider as far as semantic is
concerned and be cluster safe? The only providers we currently offer are EhCache and
Infinispan
http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/4.3/manual/en-US/html_single/#performance-cache

But both happen to be transactional so I wonder if that's a requirement
and if not what are the list of atomic operations that a clustered cache
provider would need to offer.

Any hint and feedback appreciated :)
