Region Attributes

Region attributes govern the automated management of a region and its entries.

Region attribute settings determine where the data resides, how the region is managed in memory, and the automatic loading, distribution, and expiration of region entries.

Specifying Region Attributes

Specify region attributes before creating the region. You can do this either through the API or through the declarative XML file. The API includes classes for defining a region’s attributes before creation and for modifying some attributes after creation. For details, see the API for RegionShortcut, RegionAttributes, RegionAttributesFactory, and AttributesMutator.

Region Shortcuts

Geode provides predefined, shortcut region attributes settings for your use in RegionShortcut. The shortcuts are:

PROXY

does not store data in the client cache, but connects the region to the servers.

CACHING_PROXY

stores data in the client cache and connects the region to the servers.

CACHING_PROXY_ENTRY_LRU

stores data in the client cache and connects the region to the servers. Limits the amount of data stored locally in the client to a default limit of 100,000 entries by ejecting the least recently used (LRU) entries.

LOCAL

stores data in the client cache and does not connect the region to the servers. This is a client-side-only region.

LOCAL_ENTRY_LRU

stores data in the client cache and does not connect the region to the servers. This is a client-side-only region. Limits the amount of data stored locally in the client to a default limit of 100,000 entries by ejecting the least recently used (LRU) entries.
