Infinispan is a distributed cache[1] and key–value NoSQL in-memory database developed by Red Hat. Java applications can embed it as library, use it as a service in WildFly[2][1] or any non-java applications[3] can use it, as remote service through TCP/IP.[4]
History
[edit]Infinispan is the successor of JBoss Cache.[1] The project was announced in 2009.
Features
[edit]- Transactions
- MapReduce
- Support for LRU and LIRS eviction algorithms
- Through pluggable architecture, infinispan is able to persist data to filesystem, relational databases with JDBC, LevelDB, NoSQL databases like MongoDB, Apache Cassandra or HBase and others.[5]
Usage
[edit]Typical use-cases for Infinispan include:
- Distributed cache,[1] often in front of a database
- Storage for temporal data, like web sessions
- In-memory data processing and analytics
- Cross-JVM communication and shared storage
- MapReduce Implementation in the In-Memory Data Grid.
- Embedding storing (Vector Search)
Infinispan is also used in academia and research as a framework for distributed execution and storage.
- Cloud2Sim[6] leverages Infinispan for its distributed execution of MapReduce workflows and simulations.
- MEDIator data sharing synchronization platform for medical image archives[7] leverages Infinispan as its distributed in-memory storage, as well as distributed execution framework.
- Cassowary[8] uses Infinispan to store the context information in-memory, in order to provide the middleware platform for context-aware smart buildings.
