How to get all the cache names in an Infinispan cache clusture

[agrawal24_7]

I am using Infinispan with jgroups in java. I want to get all the cache names in an infinispan cache clusture. I have tried using DefaultCacheManager.getCacheNames(); but it gives only the cache which are accessed on that the jvm from which it is called from and not all the caches in that cluster.

once i access a cache on that jvm, it becomes available and the it starts coming in the cachelist. which i get from DefaultCacheManager.getCacheNames();

I am using the same config file for infinispan and jgroups(using tcp)

Please suggest a was by which i can get all the cache names in a clusture

Thanks, Ankur

Hmm, I assume this is a copy of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8370663/how-to-get-all-the-cache-names-in-an-infinispan-cache-clusture ?

Here's my response:

Hmmm, normally you'll have all caches defined cluster wide, so getting the cache names in a node is good enough to know the caches that are available cluster wide.

This doesn't seem to be your case though, so the easiest thing I can think of is to do a Map/Reduce functionality in Infinispan to retrieve the cache names from individual nodes in the cluster and then collate them.

For more info, see https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/ISPN/Infinispan+Distributed+Execution+Framework and https://www.jboss.org/dms/judcon/presentations/Boston2011/JUDConBoston2011_day2track2session2.pdf

Sorry for spamming at multiple forums, that was an act of desperation

yes I am not predefining the caches in the config file. Caches are dynamically created by various modules as and when needed.

I need to write a utility to check all the present caches and if possible monitor them or log all of them perodically for testing.

Let me try the Map-Reduce functionality and get back to you.
