In the past (GemFire days) we've had discussions about deprecating subregions. I'd like to raise the topic again for consideration.
Subregions are merely a way to provide a logical, hierarchical grouping of regions and don't provide any kind of functionality or behavior which is inherited or implied. A similar hierarchy could just as easily be created by using your own naming conventions. For example, given region* 'A'* as the root, region *'A_B'* would be the first 'subregion' and *'A_B_C'* could be considered a 'sub-subregion'. Thoughts? Comments? --Jens
