Thanks for the answer Ben. In my application, I have certain data that periodically gets loaded into the database by a different app, a batch load process. I would like to clear my cache after this load process, so that a new database load is forced and the new data would be used, rather than the old stale cached data.
Also, rather than trying to predict which regions or nodes would likely get updated, I would rather just clear the entire thing. This event happens infrequently enough that I am not concerned with a performance hit of needing to reload everything, but when this process happens my requirement is to use the new data right away. I understand that you will have a future API to clear the cache, but do you have a recommendation how I could do this right now? I was thinking about iterating over every element stored in the cache and calling remove() on it but this seems terribly inefficient, and seems to me would result in thousands of jgroup calls. Also, I am concerned that since other threads may be adding nodes while the clearing thread is taking place, wouldn't this possibly leave the cache in an inconsistent state? I am not sure how to go about this and any help or advice is appreciated.
