Keeping the Cache Synchronized with Outside Data Sources

This topic links to documentation that explains how to keep your VMware Tanzu GemFire distributed cache synchronized with an outside data source by programming and installing application plug-ins for your region.

• Overview of Outside Data Sources

  Tanzu GemFire has application plug-ins to read data into the cache and write it from the cache.

• Configuring Database Connections Using JNDI.

  Use JNDI to maintain a connection pool that includes outside data sources.

• How Data Loaders Work

  By default, regions have no data loader defined. Plug an application-defined loader into any region by setting the region attribute cache-loader on the members that host data for the region.

• Implement a Data Loader

  Program a data loader and configure your region to use the data loader.
