Hello, This bug is related to byte arrays in first place, do you store them as values in caches?
And yes, PME waits for finishing all pending cache operations and makes cache operations that were started after PME initialization to wait until finish. Reducing the partition map sizes by using cache groups as suggested by Pavel will definitely speed up this process making application to use less heap and send smaller messages over the network. You can find some more information in this thread on PME topic: http://apache-ignite-users.70518.x6.nabble.com/Partition-map-exchange-in-detail-td23970.html Best regards, Anton -- Sent from: http://apache-ignite-users.70518.x6.nabble.com/
