Overview
HotRod is Infinispan’s custom binary, language neutral protocol for communication between clients and servers. The protocol was designed to enable faster interactions compared to other existing text based protocols and to allow clients to make more intelligent decisions with regards to load balancing, failover and even data location operations. When interacting with Infinispan via the Hot Rod protocol, it is mandated that keys and values are byte arrays, to ensure platform neutral behavior. HotRod does not know about objects and types.
