Hello community,

I'm a happy new user of Infinispan, but I have a question regarding overflowing data to disk I'm hoping to get some advise on.

I'd like to use eviction with persistence to overflow "cold" entries to disk.  I believe I can use

    <namedCache name="cache">

        <clustering mode="local">

            <async/>

            <hash numOwners="1"/>

        </clustering>

        <eviction maxEntries="500000" threadPolicy="DEFAULT" strategy="LIRS"/>

        <persistence passivation="true">

            <singleFile location="${foobar.home}/data/cache" purgeOnStartup="false"/>

        </persistence>

    </namedCache>

to keep 500,000 entries in memory and overflowing entries to disk.  However, is there a way for me to control the number of entries that can overflow to disk?  I'd like to set a limit on the number of entries to keep on disk to prevent the disk-cache from becoming extremely large, but I haven't found a way to do so.  (I'm fine with pretty much any eviction scheme in the latter case.)

Any advice is appreciated.

Many thanks,

Christian
