2.3.2. Per-Invocation Flag Functions

The putForExternalRead() method in JBoss Data Grid's Cache API uses flags internally. This method can load a JBoss Data Grid cache with data loaded from an external resource. To improve the efficiency of this call, JBoss Data Grid calls a normal put operation passing the following flags:

Combining the flags above significantly increases the efficiency of the operation. The basis for this efficiency is that putForExternalRead calls of this type are used because the client can retrieve the required data from a persistent store if the data cannot be found in memory. If the client encounters a cache miss, it should retry the operation.
