If too many tasks are allowed to be submitted to this type of executor, an out of memory condition may occur. If the queue is too small it may cause a CacheBackpressureFullException to be thrown if a non-blocking thread cannot submit a task. The "name" attribute is the bean name of the created executor. The "max-threads" attribute must be used to specify the maximum thread pool size. The "core-threads" attribute defines the number of threads to keep in the pool. The "keepalive-time" attribute may used to specify the amount of time that pool threads should be kept running when idle; if not specified, threads will run until the executor is shut down.

reaper-interval

long

30000

The time interval (millis) at which the thread that cleans up transaction completion information kicks in. Defaults to 30000.

lifespan	long	-1	Specifies the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, that cache entries can exist. After reaching their lifespan, cache entries expire across the cluster. A value of 0 or -1 disables expiration.
interval	long	60000	Specifies the interval, in milliseconds, between expiration runs. A value of 0 or -1 disables the expiration reaper.

store-as-binary?

Configures the cache to store data in binary format.

Controls whether when stored in memory, keys and values are stored as references to their original objects, or in a serialized, binary format. There are benefits to both approaches, but often if used in a clustered mode, storing objects as binary means that the cost of serialization happens early on, and can be amortized. Further, deserialization costs are incurred lazily which improves throughput. It is possible to control this on a fine-grained basis: you can choose to just store keys or values as binary, or both. DEPRECATED: please use memory element instead

Name	Type	Default	Description
keys	boolean		Specify whether keys are stored as binary or not. Enabled by default if the "enabled" attribute is set to true.
values	boolean		Specify whether values are stored as binary or not. Enabled by default if the "enabled" attribute is set to true.

persistence?

Configures the persistence layer for caches.

Name	Type	Default	Description
passivation	boolean	false	Enables passivation so that data is written to cache stores only if it is evicted from memory. Subsequent requests for passivated entries restore them to memory and remove them from persistent storage. If you do not enable passivation, writes to entries in memory result in writes to cache stores.
connection-attempts	int	10	Sets the maximum number of attempts to start each configured `CacheWriter` or `CacheLoader`. An exception is thrown and the cache does not start if the number of connection attempts exceeds the maximum.
connection-interval	int	50	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, to wait between connection attempts on startup. A negative or zero value means no wait between connection attempts.
availability-interval	int	1000	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, between availability checks to determine if the PersistenceManager is available. In other words, this interval sets how often stores and loaders are polled via their `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheWriter#isAvailable` or `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheLoader#isAvailable` implementation. If a single store or loader is not available, an exception is thrown during cache operations.

cluster-loader

Defines a cluster cache loader.

Name	Type	Default	Description
remote-timeout	long	15000	The timeout when performing remote calls.

Name	Type	Default	Description
name	string		Unused XML attribute.
shared	boolean	false	Determines if a cache loader is shared between cache instances. Values are true / false (default). This property prevents duplicate writes of data to the cache loader by different cache instances. An example is where all cache instances in a cluster use the same JDBC settings for the same remote, shared database. If true, only the nodes where modifications originate write to the cache store. If false, each cache reacts to potential remote updates by storing the data to the cache store.
preload	boolean	false	Pre-loads data into memory from the cache loader when the cache starts. Values are true / false (default). This property is useful when data in the cache loader is required immediately after startup to prevent delays with cache operations when the data is loaded lazily. This property can provide a "warm cache" on startup but it impacts performance because it affects start time. Pre-loading data is done locally, so any data loaded is stored locally in the node only. Pre-loaded data is not replicated or distributed. Likewise, data is pre-loaded only up to the maximum configured number of entries in eviction.

property*

A cache loader property with name and value.

store

Defines a custom cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
class	string		Defines the class name of a cache store that implements either `CacheLoader`, `CacheWriter`, or both.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

property*

Defines a cache store property with name and value.

file-store

Defines a filesystem-based cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
max-entries	int		Specifies the maximum number of entries that the file store can hold. To increase the speed of lookups, Single File cache stores index keys and their locations in the file. To avoid excessive memory usage, you can configure the maximum number of entries so that entries are removed permanently from both memory and the cache store when the maximum is exceeded. However, this can lead to data loss. You should only set a maximum number of entries if data can be recomputed or retrieved from an authoritative data store. By default, the value is `-1` which means that there is no maximum number of entries.
path	string		Specifies a filesystem directory for data. The value can be a relative or absolute path. Relative paths are created relative to the configured global persistent location. Absolute paths must be subdirectories of the global persistent location, otherwise an exception is thrown.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

property*

Defines a cache store property with name and value.

memory?

Controls how the entries are stored in memory

Name

Type

Default

Description

max-size

string

Defines the size of the data container in bytes. The default unit is B (bytes). You can optionally set one of the following units: KB (kilobytes), MB (megabytes), GB (gigabytes), TB (terabytes), KiB (kibibytes), MiB (mebibytes), GiB (gibibytes) and TiB (tebibytes). Eviction occurs when the approximate memory usage of the data container exceeds the maximum size.

max-count

long

-1

Defines the size of the data container by number of entries. Eviction occurs after the container size exceeds the maximum count.

when-full

NONE	Do not evict entries. If you define a size for the data container, you should specify either the REMOVE or EXCEPTION exiction strategy.
MANUAL	Manually evict entries. This strategy is the same as NONE but does not log errors if you enable passivation without eviction.
REMOVE	Automatically evict older entries to make space for new entries. By default REMOVE is always used when you define a size for the data container unless you configure the EXCEPTION strategy.
EXCEPTION	Do not evict entries. If the data container reaches the maximum size, exceptions occur for requests to create new entries. You can use this eviction strategy only with transactional caches that use two phase commit.
UNORDERED	Deprecated. Activates REMOVE policy.
FIFO	Deprecated. Activates REMOVE policy.
LRU	Deprecated. Activates REMOVE policy.
LIRS	Deprecated. Activates REMOVE policy.

Specifies a strategy for evicting cache entries. Eviction always takes place when you define either the max-size or the max-count (but not both) for the data container. If no strategy is defined, but max-count or max-size is configured, REMOVE is used.

storage

HEAP	Stores cache entries in JVM heap memory.
OFF_HEAP	Stores cache entries as bytes in native memory outside the Java heap.
OBJECT	Deprecated, only added in 11.0 to simplify the transition from the <object/> element. Please use HEAP instead.
BINARY	Deprecated, only added in 11.0 to simplify the transition from the <binary/> element. Please use HEAP and set the encoding media type instead.

HEAP

Defines the type of memory that the data container uses as storage.

object

Deprecated since 11.0. Use instead the 'encoding' element to specify the media type of keys and values, plus the storage attribute as 'HEAP'. Store keys and values as instance variables in the Java heap. Instances of byte[] are wrapped to ensure equality. This is the default storage format.

Name

Type

Default

Description

size

long

-1

Eviction occurs when the number of entries exceeds the size.

strategy

NONE	Do not evict entries. If you define a size for the data container, you should specify either the REMOVE or EXCEPTION exiction strategy.
MANUAL	Manually evict entries. This strategy is the same as NONE but does not log errors if you enable passivation without eviction.
REMOVE	Automatically evict older entries to make space for new entries. By default REMOVE is always used when you define a size for the data container unless you configure the EXCEPTION strategy.
EXCEPTION	Do not evict entries. If the data container reaches the maximum size, exceptions occur for requests to create new entries. You can use this eviction strategy only with transactional caches that use two phase commit.
UNORDERED	Deprecated. Activates REMOVE policy.
FIFO	Deprecated. Activates REMOVE policy.
LRU	Deprecated. Activates REMOVE policy.
LIRS	Deprecated. Activates REMOVE policy.

Specifies a strategy for evicting cache entries. Eviction always takes place when you define the size of the data container. If you specify a value for size, then you should configure a strategy.

binary

Deprecated since 11.0. Use instead the 'encoding' element to specify the media type of keys and values, plus the storage attribute as 'HEAP'. Store keys and values as bytes in the Java heap. Cache entries are serialized to binary representations. Note that binary storage violates object equality. This occurs because equality is determined by the equivalence of the resulting byte[] instead of the object instances.

Name

Type

Default

Description

size

long

-1

Defines the size of the data container as a long. Eviction occurs either when the number of entries or amount of memory exceeds the size.

eviction

COUNT	Evict entries from the cache when the number of entries reaches the configured size.
MEMORY	Evict entries from the cache when the amount of memory in use reaches the configured size.

Specifies whether eviction is based on the number of entries or the amount of memory used.

strategy

NONE	Do not evict entries. If you define a size for the data container, you should specify either the REMOVE or EXCEPTION exiction strategy.
MANUAL	Manually evict entries. This strategy is the same as NONE but does not log errors if you enable passivation without eviction.
REMOVE	Automatically evict older entries to make space for new entries. By default REMOVE is always used when you define a size for the data container unless you configure the EXCEPTION strategy.
EXCEPTION	Do not evict entries. If the data container reaches the maximum size, exceptions occur for requests to create new entries. You can use this eviction strategy only with transactional caches that use two phase commit.
UNORDERED	Deprecated. Activates REMOVE policy.
FIFO	Deprecated. Activates REMOVE policy.
LRU	Deprecated. Activates REMOVE policy.
LIRS	Deprecated. Activates REMOVE policy.

Specifies a strategy for evicting cache entries. Eviction always takes place when you define the size of the data container. If you specify a value for size, then you should configure a strategy.

off-heap

Deprecated since 11.0. Use instead the 'encoding' element to specify the media type of keys and values, plus the storage attribute as 'OFF_HEAP'. Store keys and values as bytes in native memory. Cache entries are serialized to binary representations. Temporary objects are stored in the Java heap space until processing completes. Note that off-heap storage violates object equality. This occurs because equality is determined by the equivalence of the resulting byte[] instead of the object instances.

Name

Type

Default

Description

LRU	Deprecated. Activates REMOVE policy.
LIRS	Deprecated. Activates REMOVE policy.

Specifies a strategy for evicting cache entries. Eviction always takes place when you define the size of the data container. If you specify a value for size, then you should configure a strategy.

indexing?

Defines indexing options for cache

Name

Type

Default

Description

enabled

boolean

false

Specify whether indexing is enabled or not. Defaults to false, but it auto-activates if the indexing element is present and indexing is not explicitly disabled. It also auto-activates if 'auto-config' is set to 'true'.

storage

filesystem	Local filesystem index storage. This is the default.
local-heap	JVM heap index storage, not persisted between restarts. Only suitable for small datasets with low concurrency.

filesystem

Specify index storage options.

path

string

Specifies a filesystem path for the index when storage is 'filesystem'. The value can be a relative or absolute path. Relative paths are created relative to the configured global persistent location, or to the current working directory when global state is disabled.

auto-config

boolean

false

Deprecated since 11.0, with no replacement. Whether or not to apply automatic index configuration based on cache type

index-reader?

Controls index reading parameters.

Name	Type	Default	Description
refresh-interval	long	0	Interval, in milliseconds, to reopen the index reader. By default, the index reader is refreshed on-demand during searches, if new entries were indexed since the last refresh. Configuring with a value larger than zero will make some queries results stale, but query throughput will increase substantially, specially in write heavy scenarios.

index-writer?

Controls index writing parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
commit-interval	int	1000	Amount of time, in milliseconds, that index changes that are buffered in memory are flushed to the index storage and a commit is performed. Because operation is costly, small values should be avoided. The default is 1000 ms (1 second).
ram-buffer-size	int	32	Maximum amount of memory that can be used for buffering added entries and deletions before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. For faster indexing performance you should set this attribute instead of `max-buffered-entries`. When used in combination with the `max-buffered-entries` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
max-buffered-entries	int	32	Maximum number of entries that can be buffered in-memory before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. When used in combination with the `ram-buffer-size` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Number of threads that execute write operations to the index.
queue-count	int	1	Number of internal queues to use for each indexed type. Each queue holds a batch of modifications that is applied to the index and queues are processed in parallel. Increasing the number of queues will lead to an increase of indexing throughput, but only if the bottleneck is CPU. For optimum results, do not set a value for `queue-count` that is larger than the value for `thread-pool-size`.
queue-size	int	1000	Maximum number of elements each queue can hold. Increasing the `queue-size` value increases the amount of memory that is used during indexing operations. Setting a value that is too small can block indexing operations.
low-level-trace	boolean	false	Enables low-level trace information for indexing operations. Enabling this attribute substantially degrades performance. You should use this low-level tracing only as a last resource for troubleshooting.

index-merge?

Defines properties to control the merge of index segments. An index segment is not related to an Infinispan segment, but represents a section of index in the storage.

Name	Type	Description
max-entries	int	Maximum number of entries that an index segment can have before merging. Segments with more than this number of entries are not merged. Smaller values perform better on frequently changing indexes, larger values provide better search performance if the index does not change often.
factor	int	Number of segments that are merged at once. With smaller values, merging happens more often, which uses more resources, but the total number of segments will be lower on average, increasing search performance. Larger values (greater than 10) are best for heavy writing scenarios.
min-size	int	Minimum target size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments smaller than this size are merged more aggressively. Setting a value that is too large might result in expensive merge operations, even though they are less frequent.
max-size	int	Maximum size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments larger than this size are never merged in the background. Settings this to a lower value helps reduce memory requirements and avoids some merging operations at the cost of optimal search speed. This attribute is ignored when forcefully merging an index and `max-forced-size` applies instead.
max-forced-size	int	maximum size of segments, in MB, for forced merges and overrides the `max-size` attribute. Set this to the same value as `max-size` or lower. However setting the value too low degrades search performance because documents are deleted.
calibrate-by-deletes	boolean	Whether the number of deleted entries in an index should be taken into account when counting the entries in the segment. Setting `false` will lead to more frequent merges caused by `max-entries`, but will more aggressively merge segments with many deleted documents, improving search performance.

key-transformers?

Defines the Transformers used to stringify keys for indexing with Lucene

key-transformer*

Defines the Transformer to use for the specified key class

Name	Type	Default	Description
key	string
transformer	string

indexed-entities?

indexed-entity+

Indexed entity type name. Must be either a fully qualified Java class name or a protobuf type name.

property*

Property to pass on to the indexing system

custom-interceptors?

Deprecated since 10.0, will be removed without a replacement. Configures custom interceptors to be added to the cache.

interceptor*

Deprecated since 10.0, will be removed without a replacement.

Name	Type	Description
after	string	Dictates that the custom interceptor appears immediately after the specified interceptor. If the specified interceptor is not found in the interceptor chain, a ConfigurationException will be thrown when the cache starts.
before	string	Dictates that the custom interceptor appears immediately before the specified interceptor. If the specified interceptor is not found in the interceptor chain, a ConfigurationException will be thrown when the cache starts.
class	string	A fully qualified class name of the new custom interceptor to add to the configuration.
index	int	Specifies a position in the interceptor chain to place the new interceptor. The index starts at 0 and goes up to the number of interceptors in a given configuration. A ConfigurationException is thrown if the index is less than 0 or greater than the maximum number of interceptors in the chain.
position	string	Specifies a position where to place the new interceptor. Allowed values are FIRST, LAST, and OTHER_THAN_FIRST_OR_LAST

property?

security?

Configures cache-level security.

authorization?

Configures authorization for this cache.

Name	Type	Default	Description
enabled	boolean	false	Enables authorization checks for this cache. Defaults to true if the authorization element is present.
roles			Sets the valid roles required to access this cache.

local-cache-configuration

Defines a LOCAL mode cache configuration.

Name	Type	Default	Description
simple-cache	FIXME	false	This cache will be using optimized (faster) implementation that does not support transactions/invocation batching, persistence, custom interceptors, indexing, store-as-binary or transcoding. Also, this type of cache does not support Map-Reduce jobs or Distributed Executor framework.

Name	Type	Default	Description

persistence?

Configures the persistence layer for caches.

Name	Type	Default	Description
passivation	boolean	false	Enables passivation so that data is written to cache stores only if it is evicted from memory. Subsequent requests for passivated entries restore them to memory and remove them from persistent storage. If you do not enable passivation, writes to entries in memory result in writes to cache stores.
connection-attempts	int	10	Sets the maximum number of attempts to start each configured `CacheWriter` or `CacheLoader`. An exception is thrown and the cache does not start if the number of connection attempts exceeds the maximum.
connection-interval	int	50	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, to wait between connection attempts on startup. A negative or zero value means no wait between connection attempts.
availability-interval	int	1000	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, between availability checks to determine if the PersistenceManager is available.

Name	Type	Default	Description
name	string		Unused XML attribute.
shared	boolean	false	Determines if a cache loader is shared between cache instances. Values are true / false (default). This property prevents duplicate writes of data to the cache loader by different cache instances. An example is where all cache instances in a cluster use the same JDBC settings for the same remote, shared database. If true, only the nodes where modifications originate write to the cache store. If false, each cache reacts to potential remote updates by storing the data to the cache store.
preload	boolean	false	Pre-loads data into memory from the cache loader when the cache starts. Values are true / false (default). This property is useful when data in the cache loader is required immediately after startup to prevent delays with cache operations when the data is loaded lazily. This property can provide a "warm cache" on startup but it impacts performance because it affects start time. Pre-loading data is done locally, so any data loaded is stored locally in the node only. Pre-loaded data is not replicated or distributed. Likewise, data is pre-loaded only up to the maximum configured number of entries in eviction.

property*

A cache loader property with name and value.

store

Defines a custom cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
class	string		Defines the class name of a cache store that implements either `CacheLoader`, `CacheWriter`, or both.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

property*

Defines a cache store property with name and value.

file-store

Defines a filesystem-based cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
max-entries	int		Specifies the maximum number of entries that the file store can hold. To increase the speed of lookups, Single File cache stores index keys and their locations in the file. To avoid excessive memory usage, you can configure the maximum number of entries so that entries are removed permanently from both memory and the cache store when the maximum is exceeded. However, this can lead to data loss. You should only set a maximum number of entries if data can be recomputed or retrieved from an authoritative data store. By default, the value is `-1` which means that there is no maximum number of entries.
path	string		Specifies a filesystem directory for data. The value can be a relative or absolute path. Relative paths are created relative to the configured global persistent location. Absolute paths must be subdirectories of the global persistent location, otherwise an exception is thrown.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

enabled

boolean

false

storage

filesystem

Specify index storage options.

path

string

auto-config

boolean

false

Deprecated since 11.0, with no replacement. Whether or not to apply automatic index configuration based on cache type

index-reader?

Controls index reading parameters.

Name	Type	Default	Description
refresh-interval	long	0	Interval, in milliseconds, to reopen the index reader. By default, the index reader is refreshed on-demand during searches, if new entries were indexed since the last refresh. Configuring with a value larger than zero will make some queries results stale, but query throughput will increase substantially, specially in write heavy scenarios.

index-writer?

Controls index writing parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
commit-interval	int	1000	Amount of time, in milliseconds, that index changes that are buffered in memory are flushed to the index storage and a commit is performed. Because operation is costly, small values should be avoided. The default is 1000 ms (1 second).
ram-buffer-size	int	32	Maximum amount of memory that can be used for buffering added entries and deletions before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. For faster indexing performance you should set this attribute instead of `max-buffered-entries`. When used in combination with the `max-buffered-entries` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
max-buffered-entries	int	32	Maximum number of entries that can be buffered in-memory before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. When used in combination with the `ram-buffer-size` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Number of threads that execute write operations to the index.
queue-count	int	1	Number of internal queues to use for each indexed type. Each queue holds a batch of modifications that is applied to the index and queues are processed in parallel. Increasing the number of queues will lead to an increase of indexing throughput, but only if the bottleneck is CPU. For optimum results, do not set a value for `queue-count` that is larger than the value for `thread-pool-size`.
queue-size	int	1000	Maximum number of elements each queue can hold. Increasing the `queue-size` value increases the amount of memory that is used during indexing operations. Setting a value that is too small can block indexing operations.
low-level-trace	boolean	false	Enables low-level trace information for indexing operations. Enabling this attribute substantially degrades performance. You should use this low-level tracing only as a last resource for troubleshooting.

index-merge?

Defines properties to control the merge of index segments. An index segment is not related to an Infinispan segment, but represents a section of index in the storage.

Name	Type	Description
max-entries	int	Maximum number of entries that an index segment can have before merging. Segments with more than this number of entries are not merged. Smaller values perform better on frequently changing indexes, larger values provide better search performance if the index does not change often.
factor	int	Number of segments that are merged at once. With smaller values, merging happens more often, which uses more resources, but the total number of segments will be lower on average, increasing search performance. Larger values (greater than 10) are best for heavy writing scenarios.
min-size	int	Minimum target size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments smaller than this size are merged more aggressively. Setting a value that is too large might result in expensive merge operations, even though they are less frequent.
max-size	int	Maximum size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments larger than this size are never merged in the background. Settings this to a lower value helps reduce memory requirements and avoids some merging operations at the cost of optimal search speed. This attribute is ignored when forcefully merging an index and `max-forced-size` applies instead.
max-forced-size	int	maximum size of segments, in MB, for forced merges and overrides the `max-size` attribute. Set this to the same value as `max-size` or lower. However setting the value too low degrades search performance because documents are deleted.
calibrate-by-deletes	boolean	Whether the number of deleted entries in an index should be taken into account when counting the entries in the segment. Setting `false` will lead to more frequent merges caused by `max-entries`, but will more aggressively merge segments with many deleted documents, improving search performance.

key-transformers?

Defines the Transformers used to stringify keys for indexing with Lucene

key-transformer*

Defines the Transformer to use for the specified key class

Name	Type	Default	Description
key	string

indexed-entity+

Indexed entity type name. Must be either a fully qualified Java class name or a protobuf type name.

property*

Property to pass on to the indexing system

custom-interceptors?

Deprecated since 10.0, will be removed without a replacement. Configures custom interceptors to be added to the cache.

interceptor*

Deprecated since 10.0, will be removed without a replacement.

Name	Type	Description
after	string	Dictates that the custom interceptor appears immediately after the specified interceptor. If the specified interceptor is not found in the interceptor chain, a ConfigurationException will be thrown when the cache starts.
before	string	Dictates that the custom interceptor appears immediately before the specified interceptor. If the specified interceptor is not found in the interceptor chain, a ConfigurationException will be thrown when the cache starts.
class	string	A fully qualified class name of the new custom interceptor to add to the configuration.
index	int	Specifies a position in the interceptor chain to place the new interceptor. The index starts at 0 and goes up to the number of interceptors in a given configuration. A ConfigurationException is thrown if the index is less than 0 or greater than the maximum number of interceptors in the chain.
position	string	Specifies a position where to place the new interceptor. Allowed values are FIRST, LAST, and OTHER_THAN_FIRST_OR_LAST

replicated-cache

Defines a REPL_* mode cache.

Name	Type	Default	Description
segments	int	256	Sets the number of hash space segments per cluster. The default value is 256. The value should be at least 20 * the cluster size.
consistent-hash-factory	string		Deprecated since 11.0. Will be removed in 14.0, the segment allocation will no longer be customizable. The factory to use for generating the consistent hash. Must implement `org.infinispan.distribution.ch.ConsistentHashFactory`. E.g. `org.infinispan.distribution.ch.impl.SyncConsistentHashFactory` can be used to guarantee that multiple distributed caches use exactly the same consistent hash, which for performance reasons is not guaranteed by the default consistent hash factory instance used.
key-partitioner	string		The name of the key partitioner class. Must implement `org.infinispan.distribution.ch.KeyPartitioner`. A custom key partitioner can be used as an alternative to grouping, to guarantee that some keys are located in the same segment (and thus their primary owner is the same node). Since 8.2.

state-transfer?

The state transfer configuration for distribution and replicated caches.

Name	Type	Default	Description
enabled	boolean	true	If enabled, this will cause the cache to ask neighboring caches for state when it starts up, so the cache starts 'warm', although it will impact startup time.

chunk-size	integer	512	The number of cache entries to batch in each transfer.
await-initial-transfer	boolean	true	If enabled, this will cause the cache to wait for initial state transfer to complete before responding to requests.

If you do not enable passivation, writes to entries in memory result in writes to cache stores.
connection-attempts	int	10	Sets the maximum number of attempts to start each configured `CacheWriter` or `CacheLoader`. An exception is thrown and the cache does not start if the number of connection attempts exceeds the maximum.
connection-interval	int	50	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, to wait between connection attempts on startup. A negative or zero value means no wait between connection attempts.
availability-interval	int	1000	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, between availability checks to determine if the PersistenceManager is available. In other words, this interval sets how often stores and loaders are polled via their `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheWriter#isAvailable` or `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheLoader#isAvailable` implementation. If a single store or loader is not available, an exception is thrown during cache operations.

cluster-loader

Defines a cluster cache loader.

Name	Type	Default	Description
remote-timeout	long	15000	The timeout when performing remote calls.

Name	Type	Default	Description
name	string		Unused XML attribute.
shared	boolean	false	Determines if a cache loader is shared between cache instances. Values are true / false (default). This property prevents duplicate writes of data to the cache loader by different cache instances. An example is where all cache instances in a cluster use the same JDBC settings for the same remote, shared database. If true, only the nodes where modifications originate write to the cache store. If false, each cache reacts to potential remote updates by storing the data to the cache store.
preload	boolean	false	Pre-loads data into memory from the cache loader when the cache starts. Values are true / false (default). This property is useful when data in the cache loader is required immediately after startup to prevent delays with cache operations when the data is loaded lazily. This property can provide a "warm cache" on startup but it impacts performance because it affects start time. Pre-loading data is done locally, so any data loaded is stored locally in the node only. Pre-loaded data is not replicated or distributed. Likewise, data is pre-loaded only up to the maximum configured number of entries in eviction.

property*

A cache loader property with name and value.

store

Defines a custom cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
class	string		Defines the class name of a cache store that implements either `CacheLoader`, `CacheWriter`, or both.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

property*

Defines a cache store property with name and value.

file-store

Defines a filesystem-based cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
max-entries	int		Specifies the maximum number of entries that the file store can hold. To increase the speed of lookups, Single File cache stores index keys and their locations in the file. To avoid excessive memory usage, you can configure the maximum number of entries so that entries are removed permanently from both memory and the cache store when the maximum is exceeded. However, this can lead to data loss. You should only set a maximum number of entries if data can be recomputed or retrieved from an authoritative data store. By default, the value is `-1` which means that there is no maximum number of entries.
path	string		Specifies a filesystem directory for data. The value can be a relative or absolute path. Relative paths are created relative to the configured global persistent location. Absolute paths must be subdirectories of the global persistent location, otherwise an exception is thrown.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

filesystem

Specify index storage options.

path

string

auto-config

boolean

false

Deprecated since 11.0, with no replacement. Whether or not to apply automatic index configuration based on cache type

index-reader?

Controls index reading parameters.

Name	Type	Default	Description
refresh-interval	long	0	Interval, in milliseconds, to reopen the index reader. By default, the index reader is refreshed on-demand during searches, if new entries were indexed since the last refresh. Configuring with a value larger than zero will make some queries results stale, but query throughput will increase substantially, specially in write heavy scenarios.

index-writer?

Controls index writing parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
commit-interval	int	1000	Amount of time, in milliseconds, that index changes that are buffered in memory are flushed to the index storage and a commit is performed. Because operation is costly, small values should be avoided. The default is 1000 ms (1 second).
ram-buffer-size	int	32	Maximum amount of memory that can be used for buffering added entries and deletions before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. For faster indexing performance you should set this attribute instead of `max-buffered-entries`. When used in combination with the `max-buffered-entries` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
max-buffered-entries	int	32	Maximum number of entries that can be buffered in-memory before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. When used in combination with the `ram-buffer-size` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Number of threads that execute write operations to the index.
queue-count	int	1	Number of internal queues to use for each indexed type. Each queue holds a batch of modifications that is applied to the index and queues are processed in parallel. Increasing the number of queues will lead to an increase of indexing throughput, but only if the bottleneck is CPU. For optimum results, do not set a value for `queue-count` that is larger than the value for `thread-pool-size`.
queue-size	int	1000	Maximum number of elements each queue can hold. Increasing the `queue-size` value increases the amount of memory that is used during indexing operations. Setting a value that is too small can block indexing operations.
low-level-trace	boolean	false	Enables low-level trace information for indexing operations. Enabling this attribute substantially degrades performance. You should use this low-level tracing only as a last resource for troubleshooting.

index-merge?

Defines properties to control the merge of index segments. An index segment is not related to an Infinispan segment, but represents a section of index in the storage.

Name	Type	Description
max-entries	int	Maximum number of entries that an index segment can have before merging. Segments with more than this number of entries are not merged. Smaller values perform better on frequently changing indexes, larger values provide better search performance if the index does not change often.
factor	int	Number of segments that are merged at once. With smaller values, merging happens more often, which uses more resources, but the total number of segments will be lower on average, increasing search performance. Larger values (greater than 10) are best for heavy writing scenarios.
min-size	int	Minimum target size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments smaller than this size are merged more aggressively. Setting a value that is too large might result in expensive merge operations, even though they are less frequent.
max-size	int	Maximum size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments larger than this size are never merged in the background. Settings this to a lower value helps reduce memory requirements and avoids some merging operations at the cost of optimal search speed. This attribute is ignored when forcefully merging an index and `max-forced-size` applies instead.
max-forced-size	int	maximum size of segments, in MB, for forced merges and overrides the `max-size` attribute. Set this to the same value as `max-size` or lower. However setting the value too low degrades search performance because documents are deleted.
calibrate-by-deletes	boolean	Whether the number of deleted entries in an index should be taken into account when counting the entries in the segment. Setting `false` will lead to more frequent merges caused by `max-entries`, but will more aggressively merge segments with many deleted documents, improving search performance.

key-transformer*

Defines the Transformer to use for the specified key class

Name	Type	Default	Description

after	string	Dictates that the custom interceptor appears immediately after the specified interceptor. If the specified interceptor is not found in the interceptor chain, a ConfigurationException will be thrown when the cache starts.
before	string	Dictates that the custom interceptor appears immediately before the specified interceptor. If the specified interceptor is not found in the interceptor chain, a ConfigurationException will be thrown when the cache starts.
class	string	A fully qualified class name of the new custom interceptor to add to the configuration.
index	int	Specifies a position in the interceptor chain to place the new interceptor. The index starts at 0 and goes up to the number of interceptors in a given configuration.

Defines a REPL_* mode cache configuration.

Name	Type	Default	Description
segments	int	256	Sets the number of hash space segments per cluster. The default value is 256. The value should be at least 20 * the cluster size.
consistent-hash-factory	string		Deprecated since 11.0. Will be removed in 14.0, the segment allocation will no longer be customizable. The factory to use for generating the consistent hash. Must implement `org.infinispan.distribution.ch.ConsistentHashFactory`. E.g. `org.infinispan.distribution.ch.impl.SyncConsistentHashFactory` can be used to guarantee that multiple distributed caches use exactly the same consistent hash, which for performance reasons is not guaranteed by the default consistent hash factory instance used.
key-partitioner	string		The name of the key partitioner class. Must implement `org.infinispan.distribution.ch.KeyPartitioner`. A custom key partitioner can be used as an alternative to grouping, to guarantee that some keys are located in the same segment (and thus their primary owner is the same node). Since 8.2.

state-transfer?

The state transfer configuration for distribution and replicated caches.

Name	Type	Default	Description
enabled	boolean	true	If enabled, this will cause the cache to ask neighboring caches for state when it starts up, so the cache starts 'warm', although it will impact startup time.

Sets the name of the cache where recovery related information is held. The cache's default name is "__recoveryInfoCacheName__"

notifications

boolean

true

Enables or disables triggering transactional notifications on cache listeners. By default is enabled.

expiration?

The cache expiration configuration.

Name	Type	Default	Description
max-idle	long	-1	Specifies the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, that cache entries can remain idle. If no operations are performed on entries within the maximum idle time, the entries expire across the cluster. A value of 0 or -1 disables expiration.
lifespan	long	-1	Specifies the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, that cache entries can exist. After reaching their lifespan, cache entries expire across the cluster. A value of 0 or -1 disables expiration.
interval	long	60000	Specifies the interval, in milliseconds, between expiration runs. A value of 0 or -1 disables the expiration reaper.

store-as-binary?

Configures the cache to store data in binary format.

Name	Type	Default	Description
keys	boolean		Specify whether keys are stored as binary or not. Enabled by default if the "enabled" attribute is set to true.
values	boolean		Specify whether values are stored as binary or not. Enabled by default if the "enabled" attribute is set to true.

persistence?

Configures the persistence layer for caches.

Name	Type	Default	Description
passivation	boolean	false	Enables passivation so that data is written to cache stores only if it is evicted from memory. Subsequent requests for passivated entries restore them to memory and remove them from persistent storage. If you do not enable passivation, writes to entries in memory result in writes to cache stores.
connection-attempts	int	10	Sets the maximum number of attempts to start each configured `CacheWriter` or `CacheLoader`. An exception is thrown and the cache does not start if the number of connection attempts exceeds the maximum.
connection-interval	int	50	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, to wait between connection attempts on startup. A negative or zero value means no wait between connection attempts.
availability-interval	int	1000	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, between availability checks to determine if the PersistenceManager is available. In other words, this interval sets how often stores and loaders are polled via their `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheWriter#isAvailable` or `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheLoader#isAvailable` implementation. If a single store or loader is not available, an exception is thrown during cache operations.

cluster-loader

Defines a cluster cache loader.

Name	Type	Default	Description
remote-timeout	long	15000	The timeout when performing remote calls.

Name	Type	Default	Description
name	string		Unused XML attribute.
shared	boolean	false	Determines if a cache loader is shared between cache instances. Values are true / false (default). This property prevents duplicate writes of data to the cache loader by different cache instances. An example is where all cache instances in a cluster use the same JDBC settings for the same remote, shared database. If true, only the nodes where modifications originate write to the cache store. If false, each cache reacts to potential remote updates by storing the data to the cache store.
preload	boolean	false	Pre-loads data into memory from the cache loader when the cache starts. Values are true / false (default). This property is useful when data in the cache loader is required immediately after startup to prevent delays with cache operations when the data is loaded lazily. This property can provide a "warm cache" on startup but it impacts performance because it affects start time. Pre-loading data is done locally, so any data loaded is stored locally in the node only. Pre-loaded data is not replicated or distributed. Likewise, data is pre-loaded only up to the maximum configured number of entries in eviction.

property*

A cache loader property with name and value.

store

Defines a custom cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
class	string		Defines the class name of a cache store that implements either `CacheLoader`, `CacheWriter`, or both.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

property*

Defines a cache store property with name and value.

file-store

Defines a filesystem-based cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
max-entries	int		Specifies the maximum number of entries that the file store can hold. To increase the speed of lookups, Single File cache stores index keys and their locations in the file. To avoid excessive memory usage, you can configure the maximum number of entries so that entries are removed permanently from both memory and the cache store when the maximum is exceeded. However, this can lead to data loss. You should only set a maximum number of entries if data can be recomputed or retrieved from an authoritative data store. By default, the value is `-1` which means that there is no maximum number of entries.
path	string		Specifies a filesystem directory for data. The value can be a relative or absolute path. Relative paths are created relative to the configured global persistent location. Absolute paths must be subdirectories of the global persistent location, otherwise an exception is thrown.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

filesystem

Specify index storage options.

path

string

auto-config

boolean

false

Deprecated since 11.0, with no replacement. Whether or not to apply automatic index configuration based on cache type

index-reader?

Controls index reading parameters.

Name	Type	Default	Description
refresh-interval	long	0	Interval, in milliseconds, to reopen the index reader. By default, the index reader is refreshed on-demand during searches, if new entries were indexed since the last refresh. Configuring with a value larger than zero will make some queries results stale, but query throughput will increase substantially, specially in write heavy scenarios.

index-writer?

Controls index writing parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
commit-interval	int	1000	Amount of time, in milliseconds, that index changes that are buffered in memory are flushed to the index storage and a commit is performed. Because operation is costly, small values should be avoided. The default is 1000 ms (1 second).
ram-buffer-size	int	32	Maximum amount of memory that can be used for buffering added entries and deletions before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. For faster indexing performance you should set this attribute instead of `max-buffered-entries`. When used in combination with the `max-buffered-entries` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
max-buffered-entries	int	32	Maximum number of entries that can be buffered in-memory before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. When used in combination with the `ram-buffer-size` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Number of threads that execute write operations to the index.
queue-count	int	1	Number of internal queues to use for each indexed type. Each queue holds a batch of modifications that is applied to the index and queues are processed in parallel. Increasing the number of queues will lead to an increase of indexing throughput, but only if the bottleneck is CPU. For optimum results, do not set a value for `queue-count` that is larger than the value for `thread-pool-size`.
queue-size	int	1000	Maximum number of elements each queue can hold. Increasing the `queue-size` value increases the amount of memory that is used during indexing operations. Setting a value that is too small can block indexing operations.
low-level-trace	boolean	false	Enables low-level trace information for indexing operations. Enabling this attribute substantially degrades performance. You should use this low-level tracing only as a last resource for troubleshooting.

index-merge?

Defines properties to control the merge of index segments. An index segment is not related to an Infinispan segment, but represents a section of index in the storage.

Name	Type	Description
max-entries	int	Maximum number of entries that an index segment can have before merging. Segments with more than this number of entries are not merged. Smaller values perform better on frequently changing indexes, larger values provide better search performance if the index does not change often.
factor	int	Number of segments that are merged at once. With smaller values, merging happens more often, which uses more resources, but the total number of segments will be lower on average, increasing search performance. Larger values (greater than 10) are best for heavy writing scenarios.
min-size	int	Minimum target size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments smaller than this size are merged more aggressively. Setting a value that is too large might result in expensive merge operations, even though they are less frequent.
max-size	int	Maximum size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments larger than this size are never merged in the background. Settings this to a lower value helps reduce memory requirements and avoids some merging operations at the cost of optimal search speed. This attribute is ignored when forcefully merging an index and `max-forced-size` applies instead.
max-forced-size	int	maximum size of segments, in MB, for forced merges and overrides the `max-size` attribute. Set this to the same value as `max-size` or lower. However setting the value too low degrades search performance because documents are deleted.
calibrate-by-deletes	boolean	Whether the number of deleted entries in an index should be taken into account when counting the entries in the segment. Setting `false` will lead to more frequent merges caused by `max-entries`, but will more aggressively merge segments with many deleted documents, improving search performance.

Enables or disables triggering transactional notifications on cache listeners. By default is enabled.

expiration?

The cache expiration configuration.

Name	Type	Default	Description
max-idle	long	-1	Specifies the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, that cache entries can remain idle. If no operations are performed on entries within the maximum idle time, the entries expire across the cluster. A value of 0 or -1 disables expiration.
lifespan	long	-1	Specifies the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, that cache entries can exist. After reaching their lifespan, cache entries expire across the cluster. A value of 0 or -1 disables expiration.
interval	long	60000	Specifies the interval, in milliseconds, between expiration runs. A value of 0 or -1 disables the expiration reaper.

store-as-binary?

Configures the cache to store data in binary format.

Name	Type	Default	Description
keys	boolean		Specify whether keys are stored as binary or not. Enabled by default if the "enabled" attribute is set to true.
values	boolean		Specify whether values are stored as binary or not. Enabled by default if the "enabled" attribute is set to true.

persistence?

Configures the persistence layer for caches.

Name	Type	Default	Description
passivation	boolean	false	Enables passivation so that data is written to cache stores only if it is evicted from memory. Subsequent requests for passivated entries restore them to memory and remove them from persistent storage. If you do not enable passivation, writes to entries in memory result in writes to cache stores.
connection-attempts	int	10	Sets the maximum number of attempts to start each configured `CacheWriter` or `CacheLoader`. An exception is thrown and the cache does not start if the number of connection attempts exceeds the maximum.
connection-interval	int	50	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, to wait between connection attempts on startup. A negative or zero value means no wait between connection attempts.
availability-interval	int	1000	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, between availability checks to determine if the PersistenceManager is available. In other words, this interval sets how often stores and loaders are polled via their `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheWriter#isAvailable` or `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheLoader#isAvailable` implementation. If a single store or loader is not available, an exception is thrown during cache operations.

cluster-loader

Defines a cluster cache loader.

Name	Type	Default	Description
remote-timeout	long	15000	The timeout when performing remote calls.

Name	Type	Default	Description
name	string		Unused XML attribute.
shared	boolean	false	Determines if a cache loader is shared between cache instances. Values are true / false (default). This property prevents duplicate writes of data to the cache loader by different cache instances. An example is where all cache instances in a cluster use the same JDBC settings for the same remote, shared database. If true, only the nodes where modifications originate write to the cache store. If false, each cache reacts to potential remote updates by storing the data to the cache store.
preload	boolean	false	Pre-loads data into memory from the cache loader when the cache starts. Values are true / false (default). This property is useful when data in the cache loader is required immediately after startup to prevent delays with cache operations when the data is loaded lazily. This property can provide a "warm cache" on startup but it impacts performance because it affects start time. Pre-loading data is done locally, so any data loaded is stored locally in the node only. Pre-loaded data is not replicated or distributed. Likewise, data is pre-loaded only up to the maximum configured number of entries in eviction.

property*

A cache loader property with name and value.

store

Defines a custom cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
class	string		Defines the class name of a cache store that implements either `CacheLoader`, `CacheWriter`, or both.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

property*

Defines a cache store property with name and value.

file-store

Defines a filesystem-based cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
max-entries	int		Specifies the maximum number of entries that the file store can hold. To increase the speed of lookups, Single File cache stores index keys and their locations in the file. To avoid excessive memory usage, you can configure the maximum number of entries so that entries are removed permanently from both memory and the cache store when the maximum is exceeded. However, this can lead to data loss. You should only set a maximum number of entries if data can be recomputed or retrieved from an authoritative data store. By default, the value is `-1` which means that there is no maximum number of entries.
path	string		Specifies a filesystem directory for data. The value can be a relative or absolute path. Relative paths are created relative to the configured global persistent location. Absolute paths must be subdirectories of the global persistent location, otherwise an exception is thrown.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

filesystem

Specify index storage options.

path

string

auto-config

boolean

false

Deprecated since 11.0, with no replacement. Whether or not to apply automatic index configuration based on cache type

index-reader?

Controls index reading parameters.

Name	Type	Default	Description
refresh-interval	long	0	Interval, in milliseconds, to reopen the index reader. By default, the index reader is refreshed on-demand during searches, if new entries were indexed since the last refresh. Configuring with a value larger than zero will make some queries results stale, but query throughput will increase substantially, specially in write heavy scenarios.

index-writer?

Controls index writing parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
commit-interval	int	1000	Amount of time, in milliseconds, that index changes that are buffered in memory are flushed to the index storage and a commit is performed. Because operation is costly, small values should be avoided. The default is 1000 ms (1 second).
ram-buffer-size	int	32	Maximum amount of memory that can be used for buffering added entries and deletions before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. For faster indexing performance you should set this attribute instead of `max-buffered-entries`. When used in combination with the `max-buffered-entries` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
max-buffered-entries	int	32	Maximum number of entries that can be buffered in-memory before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. When used in combination with the `ram-buffer-size` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Number of threads that execute write operations to the index.
queue-count	int	1	Number of internal queues to use for each indexed type. Each queue holds a batch of modifications that is applied to the index and queues are processed in parallel. Increasing the number of queues will lead to an increase of indexing throughput, but only if the bottleneck is CPU. For optimum results, do not set a value for `queue-count` that is larger than the value for `thread-pool-size`.
queue-size	int	1000	Maximum number of elements each queue can hold. Increasing the `queue-size` value increases the amount of memory that is used during indexing operations. Setting a value that is too small can block indexing operations.
low-level-trace	boolean	false	Enables low-level trace information for indexing operations. Enabling this attribute substantially degrades performance. You should use this low-level tracing only as a last resource for troubleshooting.

index-merge?

Defines properties to control the merge of index segments. An index segment is not related to an Infinispan segment, but represents a section of index in the storage.

Name	Type	Description
max-entries	int	Maximum number of entries that an index segment can have before merging. Segments with more than this number of entries are not merged. Smaller values perform better on frequently changing indexes, larger values provide better search performance if the index does not change often.
factor	int	Number of segments that are merged at once. With smaller values, merging happens more often, which uses more resources, but the total number of segments will be lower on average, increasing search performance. Larger values (greater than 10) are best for heavy writing scenarios.
min-size	int	Minimum target size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments smaller than this size are merged more aggressively. Setting a value that is too large might result in expensive merge operations, even though they are less frequent.
max-size	int	Maximum size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments larger than this size are never merged in the background. Settings this to a lower value helps reduce memory requirements and avoids some merging operations at the cost of optimal search speed. This attribute is ignored when forcefully merging an index and `max-forced-size` applies instead.
max-forced-size	int	maximum size of segments, in MB, for forced merges and overrides the `max-size` attribute. Set this to the same value as `max-size` or lower. However setting the value too low degrades search performance because documents are deleted.
calibrate-by-deletes	boolean	Whether the number of deleted entries in an index should be taken into account when counting the entries in the segment. Setting `false` will lead to more frequent merges caused by `max-entries`, but will more aggressively merge segments with many deleted documents, improving search performance.

key-transformer*

Defines the Transformer to use for the specified key class

Name	Type	Default	Description

max-idle	long	-1	Specifies the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, that cache entries can remain idle. If no operations are performed on entries within the maximum idle time, the entries expire across the cluster. A value of 0 or -1 disables expiration.
lifespan	long	-1	Specifies the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, that cache entries can exist. After reaching their lifespan, cache entries expire across the cluster. A value of 0 or -1 disables expiration.
interval	long	60000	Specifies the interval, in milliseconds, between expiration runs. A value of 0 or -1 disables the expiration reaper.

store-as-binary?

Configures the cache to store data in binary format.

Name	Type	Default	Description
keys	boolean		Specify whether keys are stored as binary or not. Enabled by default if the "enabled" attribute is set to true.
values	boolean		Specify whether values are stored as binary or not. Enabled by default if the "enabled" attribute is set to true.

persistence?

Configures the persistence layer for caches.

Name	Type	Default	Description
passivation	boolean	false	Enables passivation so that data is written to cache stores only if it is evicted from memory. Subsequent requests for passivated entries restore them to memory and remove them from persistent storage. If you do not enable passivation, writes to entries in memory result in writes to cache stores.
connection-attempts	int	10	Sets the maximum number of attempts to start each configured `CacheWriter` or `CacheLoader`. An exception is thrown and the cache does not start if the number of connection attempts exceeds the maximum.
connection-interval	int	50	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, to wait between connection attempts on startup. A negative or zero value means no wait between connection attempts.
availability-interval	int	1000	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, between availability checks to determine if the PersistenceManager is available. In other words, this interval sets how often stores and loaders are polled via their `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheWriter#isAvailable` or `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheLoader#isAvailable` implementation. If a single store or loader is not available, an exception is thrown during cache operations.

cluster-loader

Defines a cluster cache loader.

Name	Type	Default	Description
remote-timeout	long	15000	The timeout when performing remote calls.

Name	Type	Default	Description
name	string		Unused XML attribute.
shared	boolean	false	Determines if a cache loader is shared between cache instances. Values are true / false (default). This property prevents duplicate writes of data to the cache loader by different cache instances. An example is where all cache instances in a cluster use the same JDBC settings for the same remote, shared database. If true, only the nodes where modifications originate write to the cache store. If false, each cache reacts to potential remote updates by storing the data to the cache store.
preload	boolean	false	Pre-loads data into memory from the cache loader when the cache starts. Values are true / false (default). This property is useful when data in the cache loader is required immediately after startup to prevent delays with cache operations when the data is loaded lazily. This property can provide a "warm cache" on startup but it impacts performance because it affects start time. Pre-loading data is done locally, so any data loaded is stored locally in the node only. Pre-loaded data is not replicated or distributed. Likewise, data is pre-loaded only up to the maximum configured number of entries in eviction.

property*

A cache loader property with name and value.

store

Defines a custom cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
class	string		Defines the class name of a cache store that implements either `CacheLoader`, `CacheWriter`, or both.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

property*

Defines a cache store property with name and value.

file-store

Defines a filesystem-based cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
max-entries	int		Specifies the maximum number of entries that the file store can hold. To increase the speed of lookups, Single File cache stores index keys and their locations in the file. To avoid excessive memory usage, you can configure the maximum number of entries so that entries are removed permanently from both memory and the cache store when the maximum is exceeded. However, this can lead to data loss. You should only set a maximum number of entries if data can be recomputed or retrieved from an authoritative data store. By default, the value is `-1` which means that there is no maximum number of entries.
path	string		Specifies a filesystem directory for data. The value can be a relative or absolute path. Relative paths are created relative to the configured global persistent location. Absolute paths must be subdirectories of the global persistent location, otherwise an exception is thrown.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

boolean

false

storage

filesystem

Specify index storage options.

path

string

auto-config

boolean

false

Deprecated since 11.0, with no replacement. Whether or not to apply automatic index configuration based on cache type

index-reader?

Controls index reading parameters.

Name	Type	Default	Description
refresh-interval	long	0	Interval, in milliseconds, to reopen the index reader. By default, the index reader is refreshed on-demand during searches, if new entries were indexed since the last refresh. Configuring with a value larger than zero will make some queries results stale, but query throughput will increase substantially, specially in write heavy scenarios.

index-writer?

Controls index writing parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
commit-interval	int	1000	Amount of time, in milliseconds, that index changes that are buffered in memory are flushed to the index storage and a commit is performed. Because operation is costly, small values should be avoided. The default is 1000 ms (1 second).
ram-buffer-size	int	32	Maximum amount of memory that can be used for buffering added entries and deletions before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. For faster indexing performance you should set this attribute instead of `max-buffered-entries`. When used in combination with the `max-buffered-entries` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
max-buffered-entries	int	32	Maximum number of entries that can be buffered in-memory before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. When used in combination with the `ram-buffer-size` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Number of threads that execute write operations to the index.
queue-count	int	1	Number of internal queues to use for each indexed type. Each queue holds a batch of modifications that is applied to the index and queues are processed in parallel. Increasing the number of queues will lead to an increase of indexing throughput, but only if the bottleneck is CPU. For optimum results, do not set a value for `queue-count` that is larger than the value for `thread-pool-size`.
queue-size	int	1000	Maximum number of elements each queue can hold. Increasing the `queue-size` value increases the amount of memory that is used during indexing operations. Setting a value that is too small can block indexing operations.
low-level-trace	boolean	false	Enables low-level trace information for indexing operations. Enabling this attribute substantially degrades performance. You should use this low-level tracing only as a last resource for troubleshooting.

index-merge?

Defines properties to control the merge of index segments. An index segment is not related to an Infinispan segment, but represents a section of index in the storage.

Name	Type	Description
max-entries	int	Maximum number of entries that an index segment can have before merging. Segments with more than this number of entries are not merged. Smaller values perform better on frequently changing indexes, larger values provide better search performance if the index does not change often.
factor	int	Number of segments that are merged at once. With smaller values, merging happens more often, which uses more resources, but the total number of segments will be lower on average, increasing search performance. Larger values (greater than 10) are best for heavy writing scenarios.
min-size	int	Minimum target size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments smaller than this size are merged more aggressively. Setting a value that is too large might result in expensive merge operations, even though they are less frequent.
max-size	int	Maximum size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments larger than this size are never merged in the background. Settings this to a lower value helps reduce memory requirements and avoids some merging operations at the cost of optimal search speed. This attribute is ignored when forcefully merging an index and `max-forced-size` applies instead.
max-forced-size	int	maximum size of segments, in MB, for forced merges and overrides the `max-size` attribute. Set this to the same value as `max-size` or lower. However setting the value too low degrades search performance because documents are deleted.
calibrate-by-deletes	boolean	Whether the number of deleted entries in an index should be taken into account when counting the entries in the segment. Setting `false` will lead to more frequent merges caused by `max-entries`, but will more aggressively merge segments with many deleted documents, improving search performance.

key-transformers?

key-transformer*

Defines the Transformer to use for the specified key class

Name	Type	Default	Description
key	string

interceptor*

Deprecated since 10.0, will be removed without a replacement.

Name	Type	Description
after	string	Dictates that the custom interceptor appears immediately after the specified interceptor. If the specified interceptor is not found in the interceptor chain, a ConfigurationException will be thrown when the cache starts.
before	string	Dictates that the custom interceptor appears immediately before the specified interceptor. If the specified interceptor is not found in the interceptor chain, a ConfigurationException will be thrown when the cache starts.
class	string	A fully qualified class name of the new custom interceptor to add to the configuration.
index	int	Specifies a position in the interceptor chain to place the new interceptor. The index starts at 0 and goes up to the number of interceptors in a given configuration. A ConfigurationException is thrown if the index is less than 0 or greater than the maximum number of interceptors in the chain.
position	string	Specifies a position where to place the new interceptor. Allowed values are FIRST, LAST, and OTHER_THAN_FIRST_OR_LAST

distributed-cache

Defines a DIST_* mode cache.

Name	Type	Default	Description
owners	int	2	Number of cluster-wide replicas for each cache entry.
segments	int	256	Sets the number of hash space segments per cluster. The default value is 256. The value should be at least 20 * the cluster size.
capacity-factor	double	1.0	Controls the proportion of entries that will reside on the local node, compared to the other nodes in the cluster. Value must be positive. The default is 1
l1-lifespan	long		Maximum lifespan in milliseconds of an entry placed in the L1 cache. By default L1 is disabled unless a positive value is configured for this attribute. If the attribute is not present, L1 is disabled.
l1-cleanup-interval	long	60000	Controls how often a cleanup task to prune L1 tracking data is run. Defaults to 10 minutes.
capacity	float	1.0	Controls the proportion of entries that will reside on the local node, compared to the other nodes in the cluster. This is just a suggestion, there is no guarantee that a node with a capacity factor of 2 will have twice as many entries as a node with a capacity factor of 1.
consistent-hash-factory	string		The factory to use for generating the consistent hash. Must implement `org.infinispan.distribution.ch.ConsistentHashFactory`. E.g. `org.infinispan.distribution.ch.impl.SyncConsistentHashFactory` can be used to guarantee that multiple distributed caches use exactly the same consistent hash, which for performance reasons is not guaranteed by the default consistent hash factory instance used.
key-partitioner	string		The name of the key partitioner class. Must implement `org.infinispan.distribution.ch.KeyPartitioner`. A custom key partitioner can be used as an alternative to grouping, to guarantee that some keys are located in the same segment (and thus their primary owner is the same node). Since 8.2.

state-transfer?

The state transfer configuration for distribution and replicated caches.

Name	Type	Default	Description
enabled	boolean	true	If enabled, this will cause the cache to ask neighboring caches for state when it starts up, so the cache starts 'warm', although it will impact startup time.

READ_COMMITTED	Read committed is an isolation level that guarantees that any data read is committed at the moment it is read. However, depending on the outcome of other transactions, successive reads may return different results
REPEATABLE_READ	Repeatable read is an isolation level that guarantees that any data read is committed at the moment it is read and that, within a transaction, successive reads will always return the same data.
SERIALIZABLE	Unsupported. Actually configures REPEATABLE_READ

REPEATABLE_READ

Sets the cache locking isolation level. Infinispan only supports READ_COMMITTED or REPEATABLE_READ isolation level.

Name

Type

Default

Description

mode

NONE	Cache will not enlist within transactions.
BATCH	Uses batching to group cache operations together.
NON_XA	Cache will enlist within transactions as a javax.transaction.Synchronization
NON_DURABLE_XA	Cache will enlist within transactions as a javax.transaction.xa.XAResource, without recovery.

stop-timeout

long

30000

locking

OPTIMISTIC	Enables Optimistic locking.
PESSIMISTIC	Enables Pessimistic locking.

OPTIMISTIC

The locking mode for this cache, one of OPTIMISTIC or PESSIMISTIC.

transaction-manager-lookup

string

org.infinispan.transaction.lookup.GenericTransactionManagerLookup

Configure Transaction manager lookup directly using an instance of TransactionManagerLookup. Calling this method marks the cache as transactional.

complete-timeout

long

60000

The duration (millis) in which to keep information about the completion of a transaction. Defaults to 60000.

reaper-interval

long

30000

The time interval (millis) at which the thread that cleans up transaction completion information kicks in. Defaults to 30000.

auto-commit

boolean

true

recovery-cache

string

__recoveryInfoCacheName__

Sets the name of the cache where recovery related information is held. The cache's default name is "__recoveryInfoCacheName__"

notifications

boolean

true

Enables or disables triggering transactional notifications on cache listeners. By default is enabled.

expiration?

The cache expiration configuration.

Name	Type	Default	Description
max-idle	long	-1	Specifies the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, that cache entries can remain idle. If no operations are performed on entries within the maximum idle time, the entries expire across the cluster. A value of 0 or -1 disables expiration.
lifespan	long	-1	Specifies the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, that cache entries can exist. After reaching their lifespan, cache entries expire across the cluster. A value of 0 or -1 disables expiration.
interval	long	60000	Specifies the interval, in milliseconds, between expiration runs. A value of 0 or -1 disables the expiration reaper.

store-as-binary?

Configures the cache to store data in binary format.

Name	Type	Default	Description
keys	boolean		Specify whether keys are stored as binary or not. Enabled by default if the "enabled" attribute is set to true.
values	boolean		Specify whether values are stored as binary or not. Enabled by default if the "enabled" attribute is set to true.

persistence?

Configures the persistence layer for caches.

Name	Type	Default	Description
passivation	boolean	false	Enables passivation so that data is written to cache stores only if it is evicted from memory. Subsequent requests for passivated entries restore them to memory and remove them from persistent storage. If you do not enable passivation, writes to entries in memory result in writes to cache stores.
connection-attempts	int	10	Sets the maximum number of attempts to start each configured `CacheWriter` or `CacheLoader`. An exception is thrown and the cache does not start if the number of connection attempts exceeds the maximum.
connection-interval	int	50	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, to wait between connection attempts on startup. A negative or zero value means no wait between connection attempts.
availability-interval	int	1000	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, between availability checks to determine if the PersistenceManager is available. In other words, this interval sets how often stores and loaders are polled via their `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheWriter#isAvailable` or `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheLoader#isAvailable` implementation. If a single store or loader is not available, an exception is thrown during cache operations.

cluster-loader

Defines a cluster cache loader.

Name	Type	Default	Description
remote-timeout	long	15000	The timeout when performing remote calls.

Name	Type	Default	Description
name	string		Unused XML attribute.
shared	boolean	false	Determines if a cache loader is shared between cache instances. Values are true / false (default). This property prevents duplicate writes of data to the cache loader by different cache instances. An example is where all cache instances in a cluster use the same JDBC settings for the same remote, shared database. If true, only the nodes where modifications originate write to the cache store. If false, each cache reacts to potential remote updates by storing the data to the cache store.
preload	boolean	false	Pre-loads data into memory from the cache loader when the cache starts. Values are true / false (default). This property is useful when data in the cache loader is required immediately after startup to prevent delays with cache operations when the data is loaded lazily. This property can provide a "warm cache" on startup but it impacts performance because it affects start time. Pre-loading data is done locally, so any data loaded is stored locally in the node only. Pre-loaded data is not replicated or distributed. Likewise, data is pre-loaded only up to the maximum configured number of entries in eviction.

property*

A cache loader property with name and value.

store

Defines a custom cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
class	string		Defines the class name of a cache store that implements either `CacheLoader`, `CacheWriter`, or both.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

property*

Defines a cache store property with name and value.

file-store

Defines a filesystem-based cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
max-entries	int		Specifies the maximum number of entries that the file store can hold. To increase the speed of lookups, Single File cache stores index keys and their locations in the file. To avoid excessive memory usage, you can configure the maximum number of entries so that entries are removed permanently from both memory and the cache store when the maximum is exceeded. However, this can lead to data loss. You should only set a maximum number of entries if data can be recomputed or retrieved from an authoritative data store. By default, the value is `-1` which means that there is no maximum number of entries.
path	string		Specifies a filesystem directory for data. The value can be a relative or absolute path. Relative paths are created relative to the configured global persistent location. Absolute paths must be subdirectories of the global persistent location, otherwise an exception is thrown.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

Type

Default

Description

enabled

boolean

false

storage

filesystem	Local filesystem index storage. This is the default.

filesystem

Specify index storage options.

path

string

auto-config

boolean

false

Deprecated since 11.0, with no replacement. Whether or not to apply automatic index configuration based on cache type

index-reader?

Controls index reading parameters.

Name	Type	Default	Description
refresh-interval	long	0	Interval, in milliseconds, to reopen the index reader. By default, the index reader is refreshed on-demand during searches, if new entries were indexed since the last refresh. Configuring with a value larger than zero will make some queries results stale, but query throughput will increase substantially, specially in write heavy scenarios.

index-writer?

Controls index writing parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
commit-interval	int	1000	Amount of time, in milliseconds, that index changes that are buffered in memory are flushed to the index storage and a commit is performed. Because operation is costly, small values should be avoided. The default is 1000 ms (1 second).
ram-buffer-size	int	32	Maximum amount of memory that can be used for buffering added entries and deletions before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. For faster indexing performance you should set this attribute instead of `max-buffered-entries`. When used in combination with the `max-buffered-entries` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
max-buffered-entries	int	32	Maximum number of entries that can be buffered in-memory before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. When used in combination with the `ram-buffer-size` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Number of threads that execute write operations to the index.
queue-count	int	1	Number of internal queues to use for each indexed type. Each queue holds a batch of modifications that is applied to the index and queues are processed in parallel. Increasing the number of queues will lead to an increase of indexing throughput, but only if the bottleneck is CPU. For optimum results, do not set a value for `queue-count` that is larger than the value for `thread-pool-size`.
queue-size	int	1000	Maximum number of elements each queue can hold. Increasing the `queue-size` value increases the amount of memory that is used during indexing operations. Setting a value that is too small can block indexing operations.
low-level-trace	boolean	false	Enables low-level trace information for indexing operations. Enabling this attribute substantially degrades performance. You should use this low-level tracing only as a last resource for troubleshooting.

index-merge?

Defines properties to control the merge of index segments. An index segment is not related to an Infinispan segment, but represents a section of index in the storage.

Name	Type	Description
max-entries	int	Maximum number of entries that an index segment can have before merging. Segments with more than this number of entries are not merged. Smaller values perform better on frequently changing indexes, larger values provide better search performance if the index does not change often.
factor	int	Number of segments that are merged at once. With smaller values, merging happens more often, which uses more resources, but the total number of segments will be lower on average, increasing search performance. Larger values (greater than 10) are best for heavy writing scenarios.
min-size	int	Minimum target size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments smaller than this size are merged more aggressively. Setting a value that is too large might result in expensive merge operations, even though they are less frequent.
max-size	int	Maximum size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments larger than this size are never merged in the background. Settings this to a lower value helps reduce memory requirements and avoids some merging operations at the cost of optimal search speed. This attribute is ignored when forcefully merging an index and `max-forced-size` applies instead.
max-forced-size	int	maximum size of segments, in MB, for forced merges and overrides the `max-size` attribute. Set this to the same value as `max-size` or lower. However setting the value too low degrades search performance because documents are deleted.
calibrate-by-deletes	boolean	Whether the number of deleted entries in an index should be taken into account when counting the entries in the segment. Setting `false` will lead to more frequent merges caused by `max-entries`, but will more aggressively merge segments with many deleted documents, improving search performance.

key-transformers?

Defines the Transformers used to stringify keys for indexing with Lucene

key-transformer*

Defines the Transformer to use for the specified key class

Name	Type	Default	Description
key	string

indexed-entity+

Indexed entity type name. Must be either a fully qualified Java class name or a protobuf type name.

property*

Property to pass on to the indexing system

custom-interceptors?

Deprecated since 10.0, will be removed without a replacement. Configures custom interceptors to be added to the cache.

interceptor*

Deprecated since 10.0, will be removed without a replacement.

Name	Type	Description
after	string	Dictates that the custom interceptor appears immediately after the specified interceptor. If the specified interceptor is not found in the interceptor chain, a ConfigurationException will be thrown when the cache starts.
before	string	Dictates that the custom interceptor appears immediately before the specified interceptor. If the specified interceptor is not found in the interceptor chain, a ConfigurationException will be thrown when the cache starts.
class	string	A fully qualified class name of the new custom interceptor to add to the configuration.
index	int	Specifies a position in the interceptor chain to place the new interceptor. The index starts at 0 and goes up to the number of interceptors in a given configuration. A ConfigurationException is thrown if the index is less than 0 or greater than the maximum number of interceptors in the chain.
position	string	Specifies a position where to place the new interceptor. Allowed values are FIRST, LAST, and OTHER_THAN_FIRST_OR_LAST

property?

security?

distributed-cache-configuration

Defines a DIST_* mode cache configuration.

Name	Type	Default	Description
owners	int	2	Number of cluster-wide replicas for each cache entry.
segments	int	256	Sets the number of hash space segments per cluster. The default value is 256. The value should be at least 20 * the cluster size.
capacity-factor	double	1.0	Controls the proportion of entries that will reside on the local node, compared to the other nodes in the cluster. Value must be positive. The default is 1
l1-lifespan	long		Maximum lifespan in milliseconds of an entry placed in the L1 cache. By default L1 is disabled unless a positive value is configured for this attribute. If the attribute is not present, L1 is disabled.
l1-cleanup-interval	long	60000	Controls how often a cleanup task to prune L1 tracking data is run. Defaults to 10 minutes.
capacity	float	1.0	Controls the proportion of entries that will reside on the local node, compared to the other nodes in the cluster. This is just a suggestion, there is no guarantee that a node with a capacity factor of 2 will have twice as many entries as a node with a capacity factor of 1.
consistent-hash-factory	string		The factory to use for generating the consistent hash. Must implement `org.infinispan.distribution.ch.ConsistentHashFactory`. E.g. `org.infinispan.distribution.ch.impl.SyncConsistentHashFactory` can be used to guarantee that multiple distributed caches use exactly the same consistent hash, which for performance reasons is not guaranteed by the default consistent hash factory instance used.
key-partitioner	string		The name of the key partitioner class. Must implement `org.infinispan.distribution.ch.KeyPartitioner`. A custom key partitioner can be used as an alternative to grouping, to guarantee that some keys are located in the same segment (and thus their primary owner is the same node). Since 8.2.

state-transfer?

The state transfer configuration for distribution and replicated caches.

Name	Type	Default	Description
enabled	boolean	true	If enabled, this will cause the cache to ask neighboring caches for state when it starts up, so the cache starts 'warm', although it will impact startup time.
timeout	long	240000	The maximum amount of time (ms) to wait for state from neighboring caches, before throwing an exception and aborting startup.
chunk-size	integer	512	The number of cache entries to batch in each transfer.
await-initial-transfer	boolean	true	If enabled, this will cause the cache to wait for initial state transfer to complete before responding to requests.

isolation

NONE	No locking isolation will be performed. This is only valid in local mode. In clustered mode, READ_COMMITTED will be used instead.
READ_UNCOMMITTED	Unsupported. Actually configures READ_COMMITTED
READ_COMMITTED	Read committed is an isolation level that guarantees that any data read is committed at the moment it is read. However, depending on the outcome of other transactions, successive reads may return different results
REPEATABLE_READ	Repeatable read is an isolation level that guarantees that any data read is committed at the moment it is read and that, within a transaction, successive reads will always return the same data.
SERIALIZABLE	Unsupported. Actually configures REPEATABLE_READ

REPEATABLE_READ

store-as-binary?

Configures the cache to store data in binary format.

Name	Type	Default	Description
keys	boolean		Specify whether keys are stored as binary or not. Enabled by default if the "enabled" attribute is set to true.
values	boolean		Specify whether values are stored as binary or not. Enabled by default if the "enabled" attribute is set to true.

persistence?

Configures the persistence layer for caches.

Name	Type	Default	Description
passivation	boolean	false	Enables passivation so that data is written to cache stores only if it is evicted from memory. Subsequent requests for passivated entries restore them to memory and remove them from persistent storage. If you do not enable passivation, writes to entries in memory result in writes to cache stores.
connection-attempts	int	10	Sets the maximum number of attempts to start each configured `CacheWriter` or `CacheLoader`. An exception is thrown and the cache does not start if the number of connection attempts exceeds the maximum.
connection-interval	int	50	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, to wait between connection attempts on startup. A negative or zero value means no wait between connection attempts.
availability-interval	int	1000	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, between availability checks to determine if the PersistenceManager is available. In other words, this interval sets how often stores and loaders are polled via their `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheWriter#isAvailable` or `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheLoader#isAvailable` implementation. If a single store or loader is not available, an exception is thrown during cache operations.

cluster-loader

Defines a cluster cache loader.

Name	Type	Default	Description
remote-timeout	long	15000	The timeout when performing remote calls.

Name	Type	Default	Description
name	string		Unused XML attribute.
shared	boolean	false	Determines if a cache loader is shared between cache instances. Values are true / false (default). This property prevents duplicate writes of data to the cache loader by different cache instances. An example is where all cache instances in a cluster use the same JDBC settings for the same remote, shared database. If true, only the nodes where modifications originate write to the cache store. If false, each cache reacts to potential remote updates by storing the data to the cache store.
preload	boolean	false	Pre-loads data into memory from the cache loader when the cache starts. Values are true / false (default). This property is useful when data in the cache loader is required immediately after startup to prevent delays with cache operations when the data is loaded lazily. This property can provide a "warm cache" on startup but it impacts performance because it affects start time. Pre-loading data is done locally, so any data loaded is stored locally in the node only. Pre-loaded data is not replicated or distributed. Likewise, data is pre-loaded only up to the maximum configured number of entries in eviction.

property*

A cache loader property with name and value.

store

Defines a custom cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
class	string		Defines the class name of a cache store that implements either `CacheLoader`, `CacheWriter`, or both.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

property*

Defines a cache store property with name and value.

file-store

Defines a filesystem-based cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
max-entries	int		Specifies the maximum number of entries that the file store can hold. To increase the speed of lookups, Single File cache stores index keys and their locations in the file. To avoid excessive memory usage, you can configure the maximum number of entries so that entries are removed permanently from both memory and the cache store when the maximum is exceeded. However, this can lead to data loss. You should only set a maximum number of entries if data can be recomputed or retrieved from an authoritative data store. By default, the value is `-1` which means that there is no maximum number of entries.
path	string		Specifies a filesystem directory for data. The value can be a relative or absolute path. Relative paths are created relative to the configured global persistent location. Absolute paths must be subdirectories of the global persistent location, otherwise an exception is thrown.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

path

string

auto-config

boolean

false

Deprecated since 11.0, with no replacement. Whether or not to apply automatic index configuration based on cache type

index-reader?

Controls index reading parameters.

Name	Type	Default	Description
refresh-interval	long	0	Interval, in milliseconds, to reopen the index reader. By default, the index reader is refreshed on-demand during searches, if new entries were indexed since the last refresh. Configuring with a value larger than zero will make some queries results stale, but query throughput will increase substantially, specially in write heavy scenarios.

index-writer?

Controls index writing parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
commit-interval	int	1000	Amount of time, in milliseconds, that index changes that are buffered in memory are flushed to the index storage and a commit is performed. Because operation is costly, small values should be avoided. The default is 1000 ms (1 second).
ram-buffer-size	int	32	Maximum amount of memory that can be used for buffering added entries and deletions before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. For faster indexing performance you should set this attribute instead of `max-buffered-entries`. When used in combination with the `max-buffered-entries` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
max-buffered-entries	int	32	Maximum number of entries that can be buffered in-memory before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. When used in combination with the `ram-buffer-size` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Number of threads that execute write operations to the index.
queue-count	int	1	Number of internal queues to use for each indexed type. Each queue holds a batch of modifications that is applied to the index and queues are processed in parallel. Increasing the number of queues will lead to an increase of indexing throughput, but only if the bottleneck is CPU. For optimum results, do not set a value for `queue-count` that is larger than the value for `thread-pool-size`.
queue-size	int	1000	Maximum number of elements each queue can hold. Increasing the `queue-size` value increases the amount of memory that is used during indexing operations. Setting a value that is too small can block indexing operations.
low-level-trace	boolean	false	Enables low-level trace information for indexing operations. Enabling this attribute substantially degrades performance. You should use this low-level tracing only as a last resource for troubleshooting.

index-merge?

Defines properties to control the merge of index segments. An index segment is not related to an Infinispan segment, but represents a section of index in the storage.

Name	Type	Description
max-entries	int	Maximum number of entries that an index segment can have before merging. Segments with more than this number of entries are not merged. Smaller values perform better on frequently changing indexes, larger values provide better search performance if the index does not change often.
factor	int	Number of segments that are merged at once. With smaller values, merging happens more often, which uses more resources, but the total number of segments will be lower on average, increasing search performance. Larger values (greater than 10) are best for heavy writing scenarios.
min-size	int	Minimum target size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments smaller than this size are merged more aggressively. Setting a value that is too large might result in expensive merge operations, even though they are less frequent.
max-size	int	Maximum size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments larger than this size are never merged in the background. Settings this to a lower value helps reduce memory requirements and avoids some merging operations at the cost of optimal search speed. This attribute is ignored when forcefully merging an index and `max-forced-size` applies instead.
max-forced-size	int	maximum size of segments, in MB, for forced merges and overrides the `max-size` attribute. Set this to the same value as `max-size` or lower. However setting the value too low degrades search performance because documents are deleted.
calibrate-by-deletes	boolean	Whether the number of deleted entries in an index should be taken into account when counting the entries in the segment. Setting `false` will lead to more frequent merges caused by `max-entries`, but will more aggressively merge segments with many deleted documents, improving search performance.

key-transformers?

Defines the Transformers used to stringify keys for indexing with Lucene

key-transformer*

Defines the Transformer to use for the specified key class

Name	Type	Default	Description
key	string

indexed-entity+

Indexed entity type name. Must be either a fully qualified Java class name or a protobuf type name.

property*

Property to pass on to the indexing system

custom-interceptors?

Deprecated since 10.0, will be removed without a replacement. Configures custom interceptors to be added to the cache.

interceptor*

Deprecated since 10.0, will be removed without a replacement.

Name	Type	Description
after	string	Dictates that the custom interceptor appears immediately after the specified interceptor. If the specified interceptor is not found in the interceptor chain, a ConfigurationException will be thrown when the cache starts.
before	string	Dictates that the custom interceptor appears immediately before the specified interceptor. If the specified interceptor is not found in the interceptor chain, a ConfigurationException will be thrown when the cache starts.
class	string	A fully qualified class name of the new custom interceptor to add to the configuration.
index	int	Specifies a position in the interceptor chain to place the new interceptor. The index starts at 0 and goes up to the number of interceptors in a given configuration. A ConfigurationException is thrown if the index is less than 0 or greater than the maximum number of interceptors in the chain.
position	string	Specifies a position where to place the new interceptor. Allowed values are FIRST, LAST, and OTHER_THAN_FIRST_OR_LAST

property?

security?

scattered-cache

Defines a SCATTERED_* mode cache. Since 9.0.

Name

Type

Default

Description

segments

int

256

Number of hash space segments (per cluster). The default value is 256, and should be at least 20 * cluster size.

capacity

float

Controls the proportion of entries that will reside on the local node, compared to the other nodes in the cluster. This is just a suggestion, there is no guarantee that a node with a capacity factor of 2 will have twice as many entries as a node with a capacity factor of 1.

consistent-hash-factory

string

The factory to use for generating the consistent hash. Must implement `org.infinispan.distribution.ch.ConsistentHashFactory`. E.g. `org.infinispan.distribution.ch.impl.SyncConsistentHashFactory` can be used to guarantee that multiple distributed caches use exactly the same consistent hash, which for performance reasons is not guaranteed by the default consistent hash factory instance used.

key-partitioner

string

The name of the key partitioner class. Must implement `org.infinispan.distribution.ch.KeyPartitioner`. A custom key partitioner can be used as an alternative to grouping, to guarantee that some keys are located in the same segment (and thus their primary owner is the same node). Since 8.2.

invalidation-batch-size

integer

128

Threshold for sending batch invalidations. Once a node registers more updated keys, it sends a batch invalidation to all nodes requesting to remove old versions of the entries. The threshold is also used for second batch invalidation of tombstones for removed entries.

bias-acquisition

NEVER	The bias is never acquired.
ON_WRITE	Bias is acquired by the writing entry.

ON_WRITE

Specifies when is a node allowed to acquire a bias on an entry, serving further reads to the same key locally (despite not being an owner). Acquired bias allows reading data on non-owner, but slows down further writes from other nodes.

bias-lifespan

long

300000

Specifies the duration (in Milliseconds) that acquired bias can be held; while the reads will never be stale, tracking that information consumes memory on the primary owner.

state-transfer?

The state transfer configuration for distribution and replicated caches.

Name	Type	Default	Description
enabled	boolean	true	If enabled, this will cause the cache to ask neighboring caches for state when it starts up, so the cache starts 'warm', although it will impact startup time.
timeout	long	240000	The maximum amount of time (ms) to wait for state from neighboring caches, before throwing an exception and aborting startup.
chunk-size	integer	512	The number of cache entries to batch in each transfer.
await-initial-transfer	boolean	true	If enabled, this will cause the cache to wait for initial state transfer to complete before responding to requests.

groups?

Configures grouping of data.

Name	Type	Default	Description
enabled	boolean		Enables or disables grouping.

grouper*

Name	Type	Default	Description
class	string		The class to use to group keys. Must implement org.infinispan.distribution.group.Grouper.

Name

Type

Default

Description

mode

ASYNC	Enables asynchronous mode.

values	boolean		Specify whether values are stored as binary or not. Enabled by default if the "enabled" attribute is set to true.

persistence?

Configures the persistence layer for caches.

Name	Type	Default	Description
passivation	boolean	false	Enables passivation so that data is written to cache stores only if it is evicted from memory. Subsequent requests for passivated entries restore them to memory and remove them from persistent storage. If you do not enable passivation, writes to entries in memory result in writes to cache stores.
connection-attempts	int	10	Sets the maximum number of attempts to start each configured `CacheWriter` or `CacheLoader`. An exception is thrown and the cache does not start if the number of connection attempts exceeds the maximum.
connection-interval	int	50	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, to wait between connection attempts on startup. A negative or zero value means no wait between connection attempts.
availability-interval	int	1000	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, between availability checks to determine if the PersistenceManager is available. In other words, this interval sets how often stores and loaders are polled via their `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheWriter#isAvailable` or `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheLoader#isAvailable` implementation. If a single store or loader is not available, an exception is thrown during cache operations.

Defines a cluster cache loader.

Name	Type	Default	Description
remote-timeout	long	15000	The timeout when performing remote calls.

Name	Type	Default	Description
name	string		Unused XML attribute.
shared	boolean	false	Determines if a cache loader is shared between cache instances. Values are true / false (default). This property prevents duplicate writes of data to the cache loader by different cache instances. An example is where all cache instances in a cluster use the same JDBC settings for the same remote, shared database. If true, only the nodes where modifications originate write to the cache store. If false, each cache reacts to potential remote updates by storing the data to the cache store.
preload	boolean	false	Pre-loads data into memory from the cache loader when the cache starts. Values are true / false (default). This property is useful when data in the cache loader is required immediately after startup to prevent delays with cache operations when the data is loaded lazily. This property can provide a "warm cache" on startup but it impacts performance because it affects start time. Pre-loading data is done locally, so any data loaded is stored locally in the node only. Pre-loaded data is not replicated or distributed. Likewise, data is pre-loaded only up to the maximum configured number of entries in eviction.

property*

A cache loader property with name and value.

store

Defines a custom cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
class	string		Defines the class name of a cache store that implements either `CacheLoader`, `CacheWriter`, or both.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

property*

Defines a cache store property with name and value.

file-store

Defines a filesystem-based cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
max-entries	int		Specifies the maximum number of entries that the file store can hold. To increase the speed of lookups, Single File cache stores index keys and their locations in the file. To avoid excessive memory usage, you can configure the maximum number of entries so that entries are removed permanently from both memory and the cache store when the maximum is exceeded. However, this can lead to data loss. You should only set a maximum number of entries if data can be recomputed or retrieved from an authoritative data store. By default, the value is `-1` which means that there is no maximum number of entries.
path	string		Specifies a filesystem directory for data. The value can be a relative or absolute path. Relative paths are created relative to the configured global persistent location. Absolute paths must be subdirectories of the global persistent location, otherwise an exception is thrown.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

path

string

auto-config

boolean

false

Deprecated since 11.0, with no replacement. Whether or not to apply automatic index configuration based on cache type

index-reader?

Controls index reading parameters.

Name	Type	Default	Description
refresh-interval	long	0	Interval, in milliseconds, to reopen the index reader. By default, the index reader is refreshed on-demand during searches, if new entries were indexed since the last refresh. Configuring with a value larger than zero will make some queries results stale, but query throughput will increase substantially, specially in write heavy scenarios.

index-writer?

Controls index writing parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
commit-interval	int	1000	Amount of time, in milliseconds, that index changes that are buffered in memory are flushed to the index storage and a commit is performed. Because operation is costly, small values should be avoided. The default is 1000 ms (1 second).
ram-buffer-size	int	32	Maximum amount of memory that can be used for buffering added entries and deletions before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. For faster indexing performance you should set this attribute instead of `max-buffered-entries`. When used in combination with the `max-buffered-entries` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
max-buffered-entries	int	32	Maximum number of entries that can be buffered in-memory before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. When used in combination with the `ram-buffer-size` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Number of threads that execute write operations to the index.
queue-count	int	1	Number of internal queues to use for each indexed type. Each queue holds a batch of modifications that is applied to the index and queues are processed in parallel. Increasing the number of queues will lead to an increase of indexing throughput, but only if the bottleneck is CPU. For optimum results, do not set a value for `queue-count` that is larger than the value for `thread-pool-size`.
queue-size	int	1000	Maximum number of elements each queue can hold. Increasing the `queue-size` value increases the amount of memory that is used during indexing operations. Setting a value that is too small can block indexing operations.
low-level-trace	boolean	false	Enables low-level trace information for indexing operations. Enabling this attribute substantially degrades performance. You should use this low-level tracing only as a last resource for troubleshooting.

index-merge?

Defines properties to control the merge of index segments. An index segment is not related to an Infinispan segment, but represents a section of index in the storage.

Name	Type	Description
max-entries	int	Maximum number of entries that an index segment can have before merging. Segments with more than this number of entries are not merged. Smaller values perform better on frequently changing indexes, larger values provide better search performance if the index does not change often.
factor	int	Number of segments that are merged at once. With smaller values, merging happens more often, which uses more resources, but the total number of segments will be lower on average, increasing search performance. Larger values (greater than 10) are best for heavy writing scenarios.
min-size	int	Minimum target size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments smaller than this size are merged more aggressively. Setting a value that is too large might result in expensive merge operations, even though they are less frequent.
max-size	int	Maximum size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments larger than this size are never merged in the background. Settings this to a lower value helps reduce memory requirements and avoids some merging operations at the cost of optimal search speed. This attribute is ignored when forcefully merging an index and `max-forced-size` applies instead.
max-forced-size	int	maximum size of segments, in MB, for forced merges and overrides the `max-size` attribute. Set this to the same value as `max-size` or lower. However setting the value too low degrades search performance because documents are deleted.
calibrate-by-deletes	boolean	Whether the number of deleted entries in an index should be taken into account when counting the entries in the segment. Setting `false` will lead to more frequent merges caused by `max-entries`, but will more aggressively merge segments with many deleted documents, improving search performance.

key-transformers?

key-transformer*

Defines the Transformer to use for the specified key class

Name	Type	Default	Description
key	string

values	boolean		Specify whether values are stored as binary or not. Enabled by default if the "enabled" attribute is set to true.

persistence?

Configures the persistence layer for caches.

Name	Type	Default	Description
passivation	boolean	false	Enables passivation so that data is written to cache stores only if it is evicted from memory. Subsequent requests for passivated entries restore them to memory and remove them from persistent storage. If you do not enable passivation, writes to entries in memory result in writes to cache stores.
connection-attempts	int	10	Sets the maximum number of attempts to start each configured `CacheWriter` or `CacheLoader`. An exception is thrown and the cache does not start if the number of connection attempts exceeds the maximum.
connection-interval	int	50	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, to wait between connection attempts on startup. A negative or zero value means no wait between connection attempts.
availability-interval	int	1000	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, between availability checks to determine if the PersistenceManager is available. In other words, this interval sets how often stores and loaders are polled via their `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheWriter#isAvailable` or `org.infinispan.persistence.spi.CacheLoader#isAvailable` implementation. If a single store or loader is not available, an exception is thrown during cache operations.

Name	Type	Default	Description
remote-timeout	long	15000	The timeout when performing remote calls.

Name	Type	Default	Description
name	string		Unused XML attribute.
shared	boolean	false	Determines if a cache loader is shared between cache instances. Values are true / false (default). This property prevents duplicate writes of data to the cache loader by different cache instances. An example is where all cache instances in a cluster use the same JDBC settings for the same remote, shared database. If true, only the nodes where modifications originate write to the cache store. If false, each cache reacts to potential remote updates by storing the data to the cache store.
preload	boolean	false	Pre-loads data into memory from the cache loader when the cache starts. Values are true / false (default). This property is useful when data in the cache loader is required immediately after startup to prevent delays with cache operations when the data is loaded lazily. This property can provide a "warm cache" on startup but it impacts performance because it affects start time. Pre-loading data is done locally, so any data loaded is stored locally in the node only. Pre-loaded data is not replicated or distributed. Likewise, data is pre-loaded only up to the maximum configured number of entries in eviction.

property*

A cache loader property with name and value.

store

Defines a custom cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
class	string		Defines the class name of a cache store that implements either `CacheLoader`, `CacheWriter`, or both.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

property*

Defines a cache store property with name and value.

file-store

Defines a filesystem-based cache store.

Name	Type	Default	Description
max-entries	int		Specifies the maximum number of entries that the file store can hold. To increase the speed of lookups, Single File cache stores index keys and their locations in the file. To avoid excessive memory usage, you can configure the maximum number of entries so that entries are removed permanently from both memory and the cache store when the maximum is exceeded. However, this can lead to data loss. You should only set a maximum number of entries if data can be recomputed or retrieved from an authoritative data store. By default, the value is `-1` which means that there is no maximum number of entries.
path	string		Specifies a filesystem directory for data. The value can be a relative or absolute path. Relative paths are created relative to the configured global persistent location. Absolute paths must be subdirectories of the global persistent location, otherwise an exception is thrown.

Name	Type	Default	Description
shared	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when multiple cache instances share the same cache store (e.g., multiple nodes in a cluster using a JDBC-based CacheStore pointing to the same, shared database.) Setting this to true avoids multiple cache instances writing the same modification multiple times. If enabled, only the node where the modification originated will write to the cache store. If disabled, each individual cache reacts to a potential remote update by storing the data to the cache store.
transactional	boolean	false	This setting should be set to true when the underlying cache store supports transactions and it is desirable for the underlying store and the cache to remain synchronized. With this enabled any Exceptions thrown whilst writing to the underlying store will result in both the store's and cache's transactions rollingback.
preload	boolean	false	If true, when the cache starts, data stored in the cache store will be pre-loaded into memory. This is particularly useful when data in the cache store will be needed immediately after startup and you want to avoid cache operations being delayed as a result of loading this data lazily. Can be used to provide a 'warm-cache' on startup, however there is a performance penalty as startup time is affected by this process. Likewise in some cases you cannot pre-load data in caches stores, such as when using shared remote stores.
fetch-state	boolean	false	Fetches the persistent state of a cache when joining a cluster. Values are true / false (default). The purpose of this property is to retrieve the persistent state of a cache and apply it to the local cache store of a node when it joins a cluster. Fetching the persistent state does not apply if a cache store is shared because it accesses the same data as the other stores. This property can be `true` for one configured cache loader only. If more than one cache loader fetches the persistent state, a configuration exception is thrown when the cache service starts.
purge	boolean	false	Empties the specified cache loader at startup. Values are true / false (default). This property takes effect only if read-only is false.
read-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being persisted to cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores load entries only. Any modifications to data in the cache do not apply to cache stores.
write-only	boolean	false	Prevents data from being loaded from cache stores. Values are true / false (default). If true, cache stores write entries only. Any retrievals of data in the cache do not read from the cache store.
max-batch-size	int	100	Sets the maximum size of a batch to insert or delete from the cache store. If the value is less than one, no upper limit applies to the number of operations in a batch.
segmented	boolean	true	Configures cache stores to store data in hash space segments, with the cache's "segments" attribute defining the number of segments.

write-behind?

Configures cache stores as write-behind instead of write-through.

Name	Type	Default	Description
modification-queue-size	int	1024	Specifies the maximum number of entries in the asynchronous modification queue. When the queue is full, write-through mode is used until the queue can accept new entries.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Specifies the number of threads to apply modifications to the cache store.
fail-silently	boolean	false	Controls how asynchronous write operations take place when cache stores become unavailable. If "true", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted with the number of times specified in the "connection-attempts" parameter. If all attempts fail, errors are ignored and write operations are not executed on the cache store. If "false", asynchronous write operations that fail are re-attempted when the underlying store becomes available. If the modification queue becomes full before the underlying store becomes available, an error is thrown on all future write operations to the store until the modification queue is flushed. The modification queue is not persisted. If the underlying store does not become available before the asynchronous store is stopped, queued modifications are lost.

path

string

auto-config

boolean

false

Deprecated since 11.0, with no replacement. Whether or not to apply automatic index configuration based on cache type

index-reader?

Controls index reading parameters.

Name	Type	Default	Description
refresh-interval	long	0	Interval, in milliseconds, to reopen the index reader. By default, the index reader is refreshed on-demand during searches, if new entries were indexed since the last refresh. Configuring with a value larger than zero will make some queries results stale, but query throughput will increase substantially, specially in write heavy scenarios.

index-writer?

Controls index writing parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
commit-interval	int	1000	Amount of time, in milliseconds, that index changes that are buffered in memory are flushed to the index storage and a commit is performed. Because operation is costly, small values should be avoided. The default is 1000 ms (1 second).
ram-buffer-size	int	32	Maximum amount of memory that can be used for buffering added entries and deletions before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. For faster indexing performance you should set this attribute instead of `max-buffered-entries`. When used in combination with the `max-buffered-entries` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
max-buffered-entries	int	32	Maximum number of entries that can be buffered in-memory before they are flushed to the index storage. Large values result in faster indexing but use more memory. When used in combination with the `ram-buffer-size` attribute, a flush occurs for whichever event happens first.
thread-pool-size	int	1	Number of threads that execute write operations to the index.
queue-count	int	1	Number of internal queues to use for each indexed type. Each queue holds a batch of modifications that is applied to the index and queues are processed in parallel. Increasing the number of queues will lead to an increase of indexing throughput, but only if the bottleneck is CPU. For optimum results, do not set a value for `queue-count` that is larger than the value for `thread-pool-size`.
queue-size	int	1000	Maximum number of elements each queue can hold. Increasing the `queue-size` value increases the amount of memory that is used during indexing operations. Setting a value that is too small can block indexing operations.
low-level-trace	boolean	false	Enables low-level trace information for indexing operations. Enabling this attribute substantially degrades performance. You should use this low-level tracing only as a last resource for troubleshooting.

index-merge?

Defines properties to control the merge of index segments. An index segment is not related to an Infinispan segment, but represents a section of index in the storage.

Name	Type	Description
max-entries	int	Maximum number of entries that an index segment can have before merging. Segments with more than this number of entries are not merged. Smaller values perform better on frequently changing indexes, larger values provide better search performance if the index does not change often.
factor	int	Number of segments that are merged at once. With smaller values, merging happens more often, which uses more resources, but the total number of segments will be lower on average, increasing search performance. Larger values (greater than 10) are best for heavy writing scenarios.
min-size	int	Minimum target size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments smaller than this size are merged more aggressively. Setting a value that is too large might result in expensive merge operations, even though they are less frequent.
max-size	int	Maximum size of segments, in MB, for background merges. Segments larger than this size are never merged in the background. Settings this to a lower value helps reduce memory requirements and avoids some merging operations at the cost of optimal search speed. This attribute is ignored when forcefully merging an index and `max-forced-size` applies instead.
max-forced-size	int	maximum size of segments, in MB, for forced merges and overrides the `max-size` attribute. Set this to the same value as `max-size` or lower. However setting the value too low degrades search performance because documents are deleted.
calibrate-by-deletes	boolean	Whether the number of deleted entries in an index should be taken into account when counting the entries in the segment. Setting `false` will lead to more frequent merges caused by `max-entries`, but will more aggressively merge segments with many deleted documents, improving search performance.

key-transformers?

Defines the Transformers used to stringify keys for indexing with Lucene

key-transformer*

Defines the Transformer to use for the specified key class

Name	Type	Default	Description
key	string

Indexed entity type name. Must be either a fully qualified Java class name or a protobuf type name.

property*

Property to pass on to the indexing system

custom-interceptors?

Deprecated since 10.0, will be removed without a replacement. Configures custom interceptors to be added to the cache.
