2.3 Areas storing keys and values

Keys and values are stored in an area called a cache.

A cache is a logical data storage area that is created across multiple EADS servers. A group of EADS servers that share a cache and make up a single logical KVS is called a cluster.

Figure 2‒5: Overview of caches

To create caches, use the eztool createcache command. You can create a maximum of 16 caches in a cluster.

For details about how to create caches, see 10.2 Starting the EADS servers (and creating caches) or 11.5 Adding and deleting caches.
