12.5.4. Eviction Configuration Troubleshooting

In JBoss Data Grid, the size of a cache can be larger than the value specified for the max-entries parameter of the configuration element. This is because although the max-entries value can be configured to a value that is not a power of two, the underlying algorithm will alter the value to V, where V is the closest power of two value that is larger than the max-entries value. Eviction algorithms are in place to ensure that the size of the cache container will never exceed the value V.
