Infinispan

Infinispan can be used in two ways. As a distributed cache system. Or as a powerful data grid, a highly scalable NoSQL key/value store database.

Both ways provide a high degree of performance and have made Infinispan a common technology in mediums where large chunks of data is transferred on a day-to-day basis.

Infinispan is great when using as a caching system because it can alleviate network traffic and remove bottlenecks in data processing servers.

Infinispan when used as a caching utility can easily be branched across clusters and used in a distributed environment, being a great technology to use with your cloud servers.

When used as a NoSQL database, results are as good, the same features making Infinispan a great distributed caching system contributing to the success of being a simple, distributed NoSQL engine.

What is new in this release:

• The performance of bulk operations (getAll, putAll) in both embedded and remote mode has been improved by an order of magnitude
• The clear operation is now non-transactional and lock-free.
• New design based on the ConcurrentHashMap from JDK 8
• The maximum number of entries is now respected exactly, and not rounded up to the nearest power of 2
• A greatly improved LIRS algorithm which is much more accurate in deciding which entries to evict
• Listeners can be registered using DSL queries
• Configuration inheritance now only applies modified attributes, making programmatic templating more predictable
• JCache (JSR-107) support over Hot Rod
• Allows creation of server-side scripts which can be invoked from HotRod
• It is now possible to deploy cache stores to the server
• We now have a cache store Maven archetype
