Can someone please explain the concept of partition in the AffinityFunction interface. What is the purpose of a partition? Why not just map keys to node directly?
Background: I am trying to make my data as evenly distributed as possible across 3 nodes. I have an object relationship that is very similar to a organization/person example, where an organization can contain multiple person. I want to have a very balanced person cache where if: Org1 has 3 person(s) Org2 has 3 Org3 has 2 Org4 has 1 Then the data should be distributed like: Node 1, Org1, 3 person Node 2, Org2, 3 person Node 3, Org3, 2 person Node 3, Org4, 1 person This also requires all person that belong to an organization to be collocated. Any idea how this can be done? -- View this message in context: http://apache-ignite-users.70518.x6.nabble.com/Custom-AffinityFunction-tp10167.html Sent from the Apache Ignite Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
