16.3. Configure Lock Striping (Library Mode)

Procedure 16.1. Configure Lock Striping (Library Mode)

<local-cache>
		<locking concurrency-level="${VALUE}"
			 isolation="${LEVEL}"
			 acquire-timeout="${TIME}"
			 striping="${TRUE/FALSE}"
			 write-skew="${TRUE/FALSE}" />
</local-cache>

1. The concurrency-level is used to specify the size of the shared lock collection use when lock striping is enabled.
2. The isolation parameter specifies the cache's isolation level. Valid isolation levels are READ_COMMITTED and REPEATABLE_READ.
3. The acquire-timeout parameter specifies time (in milliseconds) after which a lock acquisition attempt times out.
4. The striping parameter specifies whether a pool of shared locks are maintained for all entries that require locks. If set to FALSE, locks are created for each entry in the cache. If set to TRUE, lock striping is enabled and shared locks are used as required from the pool.
5. The write-skew check determines if a modification to the entry from a different transaction should roll back the transaction. Write skew set to true requires isolation_level set to REPEATABLE_READ. The default value for write-skew and isolation_level are FALSE and READ_COMMITTED respectively. The write-skew parameter can be only used with OPTIMISTIC transactions and it requires entry versioning to be enabled, with SIMPLE versioning scheme.
