Abstract
A server-side event model provides a general-purpose event framework which simplifies the server-side programming model in a distributed data grid storing data partitions distributed throughout a cluster of nodes. A system provides event interceptors which handle events associated with operations and maps the event interceptors to event dispatchers placed in the cluster. Advantageously, the system supports handling critical path events without the need for interactions from the client-side thereby avoiding unnecessary delays waiting for client responses. Additionally, the system can defer completion of an operation in the distributed data grid pending completion of event handling by an event interceptor. The system enables the data grid to employ more types of events and define different event interceptors for handling the events while avoiding client interaction overhead.
