Overview
The number of entries is a read-only Infinispan cache metric representing the current number of cache entries (key/value pairs) maintained by the cache node being interrogated. Note that for distributed or replicated caches, the node may maintain "original" entries and duplicated entries. The value of "number of entries" accounts for all entries, either original or duplicates, physically present on the node that is being interrogated. The value has no bearing on the total number of distinct entries in the logical cache, which is exposed as "clusterwide number of entries". Unlike the "clusterwide number of entries", the "number of entries" seems to be synchronized across the cluster on each write.
The number of entries is maintain as an Integer. May return null if the cache is not started.
For configuration details see:
The metric is available as JMX and CLI attributes:
- JDG 6 individual cache number of entries
- JDG 7 container-level number of entries
- JDG 7 individual cache number of entries
Clusterwide Number of Entries
The clusterwide number of entries is a read-only Infinispan cache metric representing the cluster-wide number of distinct entries in the logical cache maintained by the cluster being interrogated. May return null if the cache is not started. The metrics is different than the "number of entires" metric.
There are cases cases where clusterwide-number-of-entries is 0 for a non-zero number of keys, and owners=2. In general, it seems it is not continuously updated under load. The metric seems to "catch up" as more keys are added..
For configuration details see:
Relationship Between the Number of Entries and Clusterwide Number of Entries
For a distributed cache, this relationship holds true (provided that clusterwide number of entries is correctly syncrhonized across the cluster and it has an updated value):
number-of-entries[1] + number-of-entries[2] + .. number-of-entries[n] = clusterwide-number-of-entries * owners
where the cluster consists in 1 ... n nodes.
