7.3. About Asynchronous Processes
For a typical write operation in JBoss Data Grid, the following processes fall on the critical path, ordered from most resource-intensive to the least:
- Network calls
- Marshalling
- Writing to a cache store (optional)
- Locking
In JBoss Data Grid, using asynchronous methods removes network calls and marshalling from the critical path. For technical reasons, the writing to a cache store and acquiring locks processes still occur in the caller's thread.
