Strategy when populating a FileCacheStore-backed Infinispan Cache

jamesbee Jun 15, 2012 11:23 AM

When using Infinispan (2.1.5CR1 on Oracle Java 6 on Windows), am I right in thinking that when using a FileCacheStore, it's better to store my values in the cache with the objects fully cooked (my objects encapsulate data from a series of db tables) rather than updating an already-cached value object several times with the results of each query in turn?

If I were to mutate the values in my cache would that lead to fragmentation of the values on-disk and therefore (I imagine) hurt the lookup performance?

Well, the lesser updates you make to the cache, the better, but then you risk losing intermediate results if this is are cached locally (not in Infinispan) and the node goes down before you had the chance to store in the file sore.
