Cache Management

Cache Management

The GemFire cache is the entry point to GemFire caching management. GemFire provides different APIs and XML configuration models to support the behaviors of different members.

  • Introduction to Cache Management
    The cache provides in-memory storage and management for your data.
  • Managing a Peer or Server Cache
    You start your peer or server cache using a combination of XML declarations and API calls. Close the cache when you are done.
  • Managing a Client Cache
    You have several options for client cache configuration. Start your client cache using a combination of XML declarations and API calls. Close the client cache when you are done.
  • Managing a Cache in a Secure System
    When you create your cache in a secure system, you provide credentials to the connection process for authentication by already-running, secure members. Clients connect to secure servers. Peers are authenticated by secure locators or peer members.
  • Managing RegionServices for Multiple Secure Users
    In a secure system, you can create clients with multiple, secure connections to the servers from each client. The most common use case is a GemFire client embedded in an application server that supports data requests from many users. Each user may be authorized to access a subset of data on the servers. For example, customer users may be allowed to see and update only their own orders and shipments.
  • Launching an Application after Initializing the Cache
    You can specify a callback application that is launched after the cache initialization.
