Class evolution
eXtreme data format (XDF) allows for
class evolution. With class evolution, you can evolve the class definitions
that are used in the data grid without affecting older applications
that are using previous versions of the class. These older classes
are accessing data in the same map as the new applications.
Mapping keys to partitions with PartitionKey annotations
A PartitionKey alias
is used to identify the fields or attributes on which a hash code
calculation is run to determine the partition to which data is saved.
The PartitionKey annotation is only valid on key
attributes.
Java and C# data type equivalents
When you develop enterprise data grid
applications, data types between your Java and C# applications must
be compatible.
