Introducing LevelDB Cache Store

Infinispan 5.3.0 will be introducing a LevelDB cache store.  This cache store will allow you to store cache entries using a fast filesystem based LevelDB key-value store originally developed by Google.  This cache store uses a Java implementation of LevelDB, and maybe one day, it can get even better performance by using the JNI implementation.

Configuration is simple:
Please see documentations for detailed sample usage and configuration.

Hope you enjoy this new addition!

Using MongoDB as a cache store

With the 5.3 release, there is a brand new feature. I'm glad to announce that you will be able to use MongoDB as a cache store.

The question you have right now, it probably, how to use it cool cache store ? Simple, as for the other cache store you have to add a loader in your Infinispan configuration file.

Here is an exemple:

If you prefer the programmatic API:
For more information about the configuration possibilities (default values, options, etc) , you can refer to the documentation page
