Configuring Pools

Configuring Pools

A pool can be configured as locators or as a list of servers.

You configure locator, server, and pool settings declaratively in the client's cache.xml file or programmatically through the PoolFactory method. You create an instance of PoolFactory through PoolManager.

  • Native Client Pool API
    The GemFire native client API allows your clients to create and manage connection pools. The server side does not have an API.
  • Pool Configuration Example and Settings
    Connection pools require standard client/server distributed system and cache configuration settings. You must also configure settings for the locator, server, and pool elements.
  • Subscription Properties
    Each connection pool has a single subscription connection that can be to any server that matches the requirements of the connection pool.
  • Running the Connection Pool Code
    Examples demonstrate a simple procedure to create a pool factory and then create a pool instance in C++ and C#. They also help you to execute a query.
