[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBossCache] - Re: Documenting Limitations of FileCacheLoader

I think it should go on documentation as this information is crucial for the 
customer to be able to make the decision on which CL to use and be aware of 
the limitations.

Looking back on people's past experience, I think FLC does not perform well 
when handling big trees. 

Also, The use of a FileCacheLoader over a shared filesystem by NFS is bad; 
concurrent access to the file cannot be prevented, therefore you are likely to 
experience inconsistencies caused by concurrent updates to the same file. 
Even if I added file locks, some NFS implementations might even ignore the 
lock requests altogether... ( thanks Bela :-) )
