Set of code snippets designed for getting started with Coherence quickly along with some more advanced tips and tricks. The tests and examples are supported by a multi-process test suite which was a precursor to the little-grid / the coherence incubator.

Topics covered:

Basics:

• Agregators
• Cache Stores (Async/Sync)
• CQCs
• Entry Processors
• Extend Proxies
• [Filters] (https://github.com/benstopford/coherence-bootstrap/blob/master/src/com/benstopford/coherence/bootstrap/basic/Filters.java)
• Index Performance
• MapListeners
• Near Caching
• PartitionListeners (for detecting data loss)
• POF
• Put & Get
• Triggers

More Complex:

• Hopping between caches on the server
• Is POF always a good idea - testing serialisation times
• How listeners can lose data
• Membership listeners
• Multithreaded clients
• PutAll that reports individual errors
• Overflow caches
• Using services to isolate work onto groups of hardware
• Sizing the indexes in your Coherence Cache via JMX
• Exploring POF internal encodings
• Understanding POF performance, when it is faster and when it is not?
• Put backups on disk with elastic data
• Put all data on disk with elastic data
• Join, server side, using backing map access and key-association

Utilities

• ClusterGC: GC all processes incrementally [test] [code]
• BinaryCacheSizeCounter: Work out how much data is in your cluster. [test code]

Getting started is simple:

• Download the zip or clone this repository
• If you wish, run 'ant test' to check everything works ok
• Create a project in your IDE of choice
• Add lib/ & "." to your classpath
• Refer to the ant script if you have any problems

Outstanding Tasks

• Port cluster framework to LittleGrid
