Hi, If I correct understand you are mean Ignite 1.X.
Using swap depends of your cache configuration, you can to specifay whole chain when data puts on java heap, after evicts to off-heap and swaps to disk at last. You should to specify an eviction policy for the rules from on-haep to off-heap, configure offHeapMaxMemory for assign maximum RAM capacity on particular node (data will be evicted by LRU policy from off-hep to disk) and raised flag swapEnabled for enable dist swap (otherwise data will by disappear). For more information you cat look at the article[1] Also, if you are interesting what are that changes in Apache Ignite 2.x you should look that[2].
