    Yes, you are correct. 
    
    The PutDisributeMapCache processor relies on the existing 
DistributedMapCacheServer, which internally use 
org.apache.nifi.distributed.cache.server.map.SimpleMapCache class. If you are 
intrested in the implementation details, please take a look at this class. It 
stores cache entries in a HashMap<ByteBuffer, MapCacheRecord>. 
    
    You can control the size of the cache with two factors:
    - The max cache size option in the cache server, which controls the maximum 
number of cache entries that the cache can hold (default value is 10000)
    - The max cache entry size in the PutDistributedMapCache processor, 
controlling the maximum amount of data to put into cache (default value is 1 MB)
    
    Hope it clears your question.

> There is a standard controller service, called DistributedMapCacheServer, 
> which provides a distributed cache, and an associated 
> DistributedMapCacheClientService to interact with the cache. But there is not 
> any standard processor, which puts data into the cache, and helps the user to 
> leverage the distributed cache capabilities.
> The purpose of PutDistributedMapCache is very similar to the egress 
> processors: it gets the content of a FlowFile and puts it to a distributed 
> map cache, using a cache key computed from FlowFile attributes. If the cache 
> already contains the entry and the cache update strategy is 'keep original' 
> the entry is not replaced.
