             Summary: Support more efficient operations when value is a collection
                 Key: ISPN-2732
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-2732
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Distributed Cache
            Reporter: Ray Tsang
            Assignee: Mircea Markus


Support operations such as append, push/pop, etc for being able to store collection/list as value
Support operation such as slice to retrieve parts of collections.

Some collections in mind are: Deque, PriorityQueue (heap, sorted list), etc.
Perhaps expand on Delta and DeltaAware, and as counterparts to AtomicHashMap.

If using current map interface, maybe something along the line of:
map.put("key", new AppendDelta("..."));
map.get("key", new RangeSlice(1, 5));

or advancedCache.applyDelta(...); and advancedCache.retrieveSlice(...)?
