Using the DistributedExecutorService for doing cache updates?

[johan_andries]

Yesterday I already mentioned this question in http://community.jboss.org/thread/168928?tstart=0 but I'm not sure it will get noticed there, so I repeat it in a thread of its own.

Is it allowed to call the put method on the org.infinispan.Cache<K,V> interface implementation that is injected through the setEnvironment method of DistributedCallable? It sounds to me like a nice way to do bulk updates in an efficient way.

I just did a small test and that seems to work.

Hey, you can do put from setEnvironemnt but what exact bulk update scenario do you have in mind that is not possible to do with current exposed cache API?

Hi Vladimir,

this is exactly the answer I wanted to hear. Forget the remark about the bulk updates.

Johan.
