Abstract
Push replication techniques are described for use in an in-memory data grid. When applications on a cluster perform insert, update or delete operations in the cache, a push replication provider asynchronously pushes updates from the source cluster to one or more remote destination clusters. The push replication provider includes a pluggable internal transport to send the updates to the destination cluster. This pluggable transport can be switched to employ a different communication service or protocol. A publishing transformer can chain multiple filters and apply filters on a stream of updates from source cluster to the destination cluster. A batch publisher can be used to receive batches multiple updates and replicate those batch to the destination cluster. XML based configuration can be provided to configure the push replication techniques on a cluster. A number of cluster topologies can be utilized, including active/passive, active/active, multi-site active/passive, multi-site active/active and centralized replication arrangement.
