Hi,
What is the practical size limit for items in an Ignite cache? I suspect the answer is something “As large as the memory you have to hold it”, but my question is more aimed at the practicality of large items in a cache due to the overhead of pulling copies of the items out of the cache in response to a Cache.Get() request. For instance, let’s say I had cache items in the 64Kb size range, and had requests that commonly refer to those cache items to perform some work on them in response to a request. Will each Cache.Get() request require an extraction and repackaging of the cache item prior to handing it back to the caller as a new (copied) version of that cache item, or is there a way for just a reference to the cache item to be returned to the caller? I understand there is a way to designate the information in a cache as just blobs of data with no serialisation semantics. In this case does a Cache.Get() return a pointer or a copy (with a local locking semantic to prevent change)? Thanks, Raymond.
