Infinispan Cache Container Configuration

• Infinispan Configuration

Overview

As described in the Cache Container section of the Infinispan Concepts page, the <cache-container> element contains global configuration for a set of caches. The cache container global configuration defines global settings shared among all cache instances created for the respective cache container. Shared resources like thread pools, serialization/marshaling settings, transport and network settings are all part of global configuration.

default-cache-container

The name of the cache container to use if no specific name is used.

cache-container Configuration

name

The cache container name. Must be unique among other cache container names.

If the <transport> subelement attribute "cluster" is not defined, the cache container name will be used as the value of the JGroups group name, and that means each cache container will create its own JGroups channel instances, group, etc. They will share configuration, though. Ultimately, each cache container will maintain its own cluster, with a different coordinator, view, etc. It is possible, and quite probable, that different members of the cluster will be coordinators for different cache containers, and that complicates JGroups problems troubleshooting.
