Facading arrays in externalizer

[ortschun]

Is there a way to facade arrays in infinispan? I basically don't want to bring every value in the array on heap, and just want to read the value when we call array.get(i).

Hi,

you can't map an array but and AtomicMap could be a good replacement:

Hi,

Thanks for the response. But from what I'm seeing AtomicMap's readObject method brings the whole map on heap. My question is: is there a way to bring just the key set of the hash map, and access the values separately off heap using the keys?
