I would like to use the replicated Ehcache cache, first as a backend for Hibernate's second level cache, second as a cache for any data.
I know how a distributed cache works, such as memcached, and I know that it can scale for large clusters, but I cannot find how Ehcache replication behaves on large clusters.
- Does anyone have a pointer to some information or some kind of benchmark?
I have found that many replication strategies can be used, such as RMI, JGroups, JMS or Terracotta, and RMI and Terracotta seem to be the most popular.
- How do they compare with large clusters?
Will replication kill my actions when I add many nodes (for example, a few dozen)?
