I need a distributed L2 caching solution and I've narrowed my options down to the big 3: - Redis - HazelCast - EhCache/Teracotta
Although I've used Teracotta several years ago, I've somewhat eliminated Ehcache/Teracotta due to the lack of knowledge of the platform by the development & operations team, and some of the additional complexities associated with it. The biggest benefits it provides are: - per class caching regions - pinning/unpinning of objects
both of which I'm not sure are critical. I would definitely like the per-class caching regions, however, I fear the cost to support the Teracotta cluster might be too big.
From what I read, neither Redis nor Hazelcast support either of those in DN.
That being said, I was wondering if anyone had any experience using either Redis or Hazelcast as an L2 cache with DN (JDO) and had recommendations or advice they could share.
