Sorry, guys, I'll put my 1 cent I'd like this idea "Implement LOCAL caches as PARTITIONED caches over the local node." It make sense for examples/testing in pseudo-distributed mode and so far.
But I think that the deprecation based on user-list mentions is a wrong way. Please look here https://github.com/search?q=%22CacheMode.LOCAL%22+%26+ignite&type=Code There a lot of hello world examples with LOCAL mode. And of course, we can ask about that on user-list, not here, to vote for the deprecation like this. 2018-07-26 11:23 GMT+03:00 Vladimir Ozerov <voze...@gridgain.com>: > I meant LOCAL + non-LOCAL transactions of course. > > On Wed, Jul 25, 2018 at 10:42 PM Dmitriy Setrakyan <dsetrak...@apache.org> > wrote: > > > Vladimir, > > > > Are you suggesting that a user cannot span more than one local cache in a > > cross cache LOCAL transactions.
