Interface KeyAffinityService<K>

All Superinterfaces:
Lifecycle
All Known Implementing Classes:
KeyAffinityServiceImpl
public interface KeyAffinityService<K> extends Lifecycle
Defines a service that generates keys to be mapped to specific nodes in a distributed(vs. replicated) cluster. The service is instantiated through through one of the factory methods from KeyAffinityServiceFactory.

Sample usage: 


    Cache<String, Long> cache = getDistributedCache();
    KeyAffinityService<String> service = KeyAffinityServiceFactory.newKeyAffinityService(cache, 100);
    ...
    String sessionId = sessionObject.getId();
    String newCollocatedSession = service.getCollocatedKey(sessionId);

    //this will reside on the same node in the cluster
    cache.put(newCollocatedSession, someInfo);

Uniqueness: the service does not guarantee that the generated keys are unique. It relies on an KeyGenerator for obtaining and distributing the generated keys. If key uniqueness is needed that should be enforced in the generator.

The service might also drop key generated through the KeyGenerator.
