Spring Gemfire Cache implementation

Question

I am trying to implement cache mechanism provide by Spring Data GemFire. Has anyone implemented a solution? I need to check on performance and ease to implement it.

Answer 1

Sonal-

1. First, you can find plenty of examples in the Spring User Guides, here, for example...

   • Accessing Data with GemFire,
   • Caching Data with GemFire, and ...
   • Accessing GemFire Data with REST

2. Additionally, there is a Spring GemFire Examples project here.

3. I have also started work on building a "Reference Implementation" (RI) for Spring Data GemFire/Geode, here. I have much work to do with this project yet, like documentation (READMEs) in the Repo, but I do plan to keep it up-to-date with my latest developments since I use the code as a basis for all my conference talks. Anyway, there is plenty of code examples and tests in this GitHub project to keep you busy for awhile.

4. Then, the Spring Data GemFire and Spring Data Geode GitHub projects themselves, have plenty of tests to show you how to address different application concerns (Configuration, Data Access, Function Execution, etc, etc).

Of particular interests might be the new Annotation-based configuration model for SDG^2 that I am working on. This is currently a WIP and I am also working on User Guide documentation for this feature/functionality, but it is established and even inspired by the auto-configuration features and Annotations provided by Spring and Spring Boot (e.g. @EnableXYZ).

Users have even started using the Annotation-based configuration model without significant documentation in place since it builds on concepts already available and familiar in Spring Boot. In fact combining these SDG specific Annotations with Spring Boot makes for a very powerful combination while preserving simple/easy nature to get started, 1 of my primary goals.

Given the lack of documentation yet, you can find more out in the Spring IO blog, where I first blogged about it here. Then I expanded on this article in a second blog, talking specifically about security.

And if you are really curious, you can follow the latest developments of the Annotation configuration model in my testing efforts.

5. Finally, of course, as I have already alluded to, as any good developer knows, getting started is as easy following the examples and reviewing Spring Data GemFire Reference Guide and Javadoc.

Don't forget to familiarize yourself with Pivotal GemFire as well! Javadoc here.

Hope this helps!
