Using cache. entryset and values method in replicated mode

[sudheerk84]

Hi ,

I have a use case where i have multiple nodes running in replicated mode. Sicne all data is replicated is it safe to use entry setor values() to iterate and read all teh values in teh cache.

I came across the documentation , which said it shoudl not be used for production. Since i am using replicated mode , is there any suggestion on using it in production usecases?

Since your cache is replicated, you're safe to retrieve all values in the cache cos all nodes have all data replicated to each other. It's the distributed case that can be tricky and in that case, we only retrieve those values available locally. I think you should be fine using it with a replicated cache.

Thanks for the clarification.

FYI, I use entrySet on a replicated cache when trying to build topology updates for remote Infinispan clients. So, we sometimes do use this type of functionality internally too.
