Client-Side Caching

GigaSpaces supports client-side caching of Space Where GigaSpaces data is stored. It is the logical cache that holds data objects in memory and might also hold them in layered in tiering. Data is hosted from multiple SoRs, consolidated as a unified data model. data within the client application's JVM Java Virtual Machine. A virtual machine that enables a computer to run Java programs as well as programs written in other languages that are also compiled to Java bytecode.. When using client-side caching, the user essentially uses a two-layer cache architecture: The first layer is stored locally, within the client's JVM, and the second layer is stored within the remote master Space. The remote master Space may be used with any of the supported deployment topologies.

The following caching options are available:

• Local Cache - A local cache allows the client application to cache recently used data at the client memory address, and have it updated automatically by the Space when that data changes.
• Local View - A Local View allows the client application to cache specific data based on client's criteria at the client memory address, and have it updated automatically by the Space when that data changes.
