Procedure

1. Create a distributed, synchronous cache from a template and name it "mycache".

   [//containers/default]> create cache --template=org.infinispan.DIST_SYNC mycache

   Tip

   Press the tab key after the --template= argument to list available cache templates.

2. Retrieve the cache configuration.

   [//containers/default]> describe caches/mycache
   {
     "distributed-cache" : {
       "mode" : "SYNC",
       "remote-timeout" : 17500,
       "state-transfer" : {
         "timeout" : 60000
       },
       "transaction" : {
         "mode" : "NONE"
       },
       "locking" : {
         "concurrency-level" : 1000,
         "acquire-timeout" : 15000,
         "striping" : false
       },
       "statistics" : true
     }
   }

Procedure

1. Put an entry into "mycache".

   [//containers/default/caches/mycache]> put hello world

   Tip

   If not in the context of a cache, use the --cache= parameter. For example:

   [//containers/default]> put --cache=mycache hello world

2. Get the entry to verify it.

   [//containers/default/caches/mycache]> get hello
   world
