Alexei, > Summing up, I suggest adding new public method IgniteCache.preloadPartition(partId).
If I understand correctly use case, the user wants to retrieve whole data from the cache (not only single partition) having slow HDD. So, my suggestion is to create methods of public API like these: `public IgniteCache<K, V> withPartitionsWarmup();` `public IgniteCache<K, V> withPartitionWarmup(int partition);` On Wed, 19 Sep 2018 at 09:59 Zhenya Stanilovsky <arzamas...@mail.ru.invalid> wrote: > Great, i don`t think about that. > > > >Среда, 19 сентября 2018, 9:40 +03:00 от Vladimir Ozerov < > voze...@gridgain.com>: > > > >Pinning is even worse thing, because you loose control on how data is > moved > >within a single region.
