Abstract

Information about Red Hat JBoss Data Grid features including support and technical preview status information.

Chapter 1. JBoss Data Grid Technical Preview

1.1. About the Technical Preview Document

The JBoss Data Grid 6.1 Technical Preview document clarifies some important information related to features and support for JBoss Data Grid, for example:
  • The two Usage Modes offered in JBoss Data Grid.
  • JBoss Data Grid features that are supported.
  • JBoss Data Grid features that are limited to a technical preview.

1.2. About JBoss Data Grid Usage Modes

JBoss Data Grid offers two usage modes:
  • Remote Client-Server mode, which provides a managed, distributed and clusterable data grid server. Applications can remotely access the data grid server using Hot Rod, memcached or REST client APIs. Remote Client-Server mode is supported in JBoss Data Grid.
  • Library mode allows the user to build and deploy a custom runtime environment. The Library usage mode hosts a single data grid node in the applications process, with remote access to nodes hosted in other JVMs. Tested containers for JBoss Data Grid 6 Library mode includes Tomcat 7 and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6. Library mode is supported in JBoss Data Grid.

Warning

Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs), may not be functionally complete, and are not recommended to be used for production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.
