You can set up more than one cache loader in a chain. Internally, a delegating ChainingCacheLoader is used, with references to each cache loader you have configured. Use cases vary depending on the type of cache loaders used in the chain. One example is using a filesystem based cache loader, co-located on the same host as the JVM, used as an overflow for memory. This ensures data is available relatively easily and with low cost. An additional remote cache loader, such as a TcpDelegatingCacheLoader provides resilience between server restarts.
