Infinispan

Infinispan is a distributed cache and key-value NoSQL data store software developed by Red Hat. Java applications can embed it as library, use it as a service in WildFly or any non-java applications can use it, as remote service through TCP/IP. Infinispan is the successor of JBoss Cache. The project was announced in 2009. Transactions MapReduce Support for LRU and LIRS eviction algorithms Through pluggable architecture, infinispan is able to persist data to filesystem, relational databases with JDBC, LevelDB, NoSQL databases like MongoDB, Apache Cassandra or HBase and others. Typical use-cases for Infinispan include: Distributed cache, often in front of a database Storage for temporal data, like web sessions In-memory data processing and analytics Cross-JVM communication and shared storage MapReduce Implementation in the In-Memory Data Grid. Infinispan is also used in academia and research as a framework for distributed execution and storage. Cloud2Sim leverages Infinispan for its distributed execution of MapReduce workflows and simulations. MEDIator data sharing synchronization platform for medical image archives leverages Infinispan as its distributed in-memory storage, as well as distributed execution framework. Cassowary uses Infinispan to store the context information in-memory, in order to provide the middleware platform for context-aware smart buildings.
