Description

Concepts:
- All clients connections/requests go through a proxy. So a single proxy(and a node) would be a bottleneck, for multiple clients.
- The copyset_size parameter indicates the no.of nodes per copyset
- The copyset count or no.of copysets defined indicates how the data on the grid is distributed.
- If a CS has more than one node, the primary(or active) node not only handles the changed record, but also replicates it on the secondary node(s), before a response is returned to the client.

Issue/Introduction

This article provides some inputs for iimproving performance of the data grid.

All Support Platforms

Resolution

Suggestions to improve performance or reduce transaction times:
- Just having several clients connecting to the datagrid wouldn't suffice. There should be enough proxies to handle and share the client connections(and operation load)

- Similarly having more no.of copysets(and so more nodes) would help distributre data and share client operations.

- If using BWAS Plugin 7.1.1, HF7 has the option to configure batch operations. Article#000040789 has more inputs on this.
