29.6. Distributed Execution and Locality
In a Distributed Environment ownership, in regards to the
DistributionManager and ConsistentHash, is theoretical; neither of these classes have any knowledge if data is actively in the cache. Instead, these classes are used to determine which node should store the specified key.
To examine the locality of a given key use either of the following options:
- Option 1: Confirm that the key is both found in the cache and the
DistributionManagerindicates it is local, as seen in the following example:(cache.getAdvancedCache().withFlags(SKIP_REMOTE_LOOKUP).containsKey(key) && cache.getAdvancedCache().getDistributionManager().getLocality(key).isLocal())
- Option 2: Query the
DataContainerdirectly:cache.getAdvancedCache().getDataContainer().containsKey(key)
Note
If the entry is passivated then theDataContainerwill returnFalse, regardless of the key's presence.
