Hello, Nicholas! As I understand from your code and from your explanation, it looks like you are a little confused about the Eviction Policies and the Expiry Policies.
1. Eviction policy determines which data should be removed from RAM if RAM runs out. 2. Expiry policy using for determining TTL of cache entries. In your case you need only Expiry policy. Look at my example: private static final String ORG_CACHE = IgniteCache.class.getSimpleName() + "Organizations"; public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { DataRegionConfiguration dfltDataRegConf = new DataRegionConfiguration(); dfltDataRegConf.setPersistenceEnabled(true); DataStorageConfiguration dsCfg = new DataStorageConfiguration(); dsCfg.setDefaultDataRegionConfiguration(dfltDataRegConf); dsCfg.setStoragePath("/home/kazakov/tmp"); IgniteConfiguration igniteConfiguration = new IgniteConfiguration(); igniteConfiguration.setDataStorageConfiguration(dsCfg); TcpDiscoverySpi tcpDiscoverySpi = new TcpDiscoverySpi(); TcpDiscoveryVmIpFinder ipFinder = new TcpDiscoveryVmIpFinder(); ipFinder.setAddresses(Arrays.asList("127.0.0.1:47500..47509")); tcpDiscoverySpi.setIpFinder(ipFinder); igniteConfiguration.setDiscoverySpi(tcpDiscoverySpi); try(Ignite ignite = Ignition.start(igniteConfiguration)) { ignite.active(true); CacheConfiguration<Long, X12File> cacheCfg = new CacheConfiguration<>(ORG_CACHE); cacheCfg.setCacheMode(CacheMode.REPLICATED); cacheCfg.setAtomicityMode(CacheAtomicityMode.ATOMIC); cacheCfg.setBackups(1); cacheCfg.setOnheapCacheEnabled(true); IgniteCache<Long, X12File> cache = ignite.getOrCreateCache(cacheCfg).withExpiryPolicy(new CreatedExpiryPolicy(new Duration(TimeUnit.SECONDS, 1))); for (long i = 0; i < 4_000_000; i++) { if (i > 0 && i % 10_000 == 0) System.out.println("Done: " + i); cache.put(i, new X12File("x12file" + i, LocalDateTime.now().toString())); } Thread.sleep(5000); int matches = 0; for (long i = 0; i < 4_000_000; i++) { if (cache.get(i) != null) ++matches; } System.out.println("Matches: " + matches); } } Ilya Kazakov ср, 21 окт. 2020 г. в 21:27, Nicholas DiPiazza <nicholas.dipia...@gmail.com >: > > Trying to get some help with my stack overflow question here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64456578/apache-ignite-2-x-can-i-take-advantage-of-offheap-storage-and-also-still-have > > Cross posting it here. > > I am using Apache Ignite 2.8.1 > > I have a specific cache that I need to store off heap (because otherwise I will be plagued with out of memory conditions).
