Working with Data Grids
So far we learned about Apache Ignite architecture, caching styles, and clustering topology. Caching can be used in the UI layer to serve static content, and a JVM-level local cache can be configured to access the frequently used objects or query results. However, a distributed cache can act as an in-memory data store and move the data closer to the application. The data grid is an abstraction of a distributed cache as a data store.
