5.2. Disabling Return Values

As a default in Red Hat JBoss Data Grid, the put() and remove() API operations return the original or previous values in the cache. However, if the original value was not required, this operation is wasteful.
To conserve the resources used, disable the return values. Note that this solution is only applicable for cache instances that only perform write operations (for example put() and remove()). Implement this solution as follows:

Procedure 5.1. Disable Return Values

  1. Set the IGNORE_RETURN_VALUES flag. This flag signals that the operation's return value is ignored. For example: 
    cache.getAdvancedCache().withFlags(Flag.IGNORE_RETURN_VALUES)
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Set the SKIP_CACHE_LOAD flag. This flag does not load entries from any configured CacheStores. For example: 
    cache.getAdvancedCache().withFlags(Flag.SKIP_CACHE_LOAD)
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
