16.6. Distributed Execution and Locality

In a Distributed Environment ownership, in regards to the DistributionManager and ConsistentHash, is theoretical; neither of these classes have any knowledge if data is actively in the cache. Instead, these classes are used to determine which node should store the specified key.
To examine the locality of a given key use either of the following options:
  • Option 1: Confirm that the key is both found in the cache and the DistributionManager indicates it is local, as seen in the following example: 
    (cache.getAdvancedCache().withFlags(SKIP_REMOTE_LOOKUP).containsKey(key) 
&& cache.getAdvancedCache().getDistributionManager().getLocality(key).isLocal())
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • Option 2: Query the DataContainer directly: 
    cache.getAdvancedCache().getDataContainer().containsKey(key)
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Note

    If the entry is passivated then the DataContainer will return False, regardless of the key's presence.
