That's what I meant by the SKIP_BACKUP_ENTRIES - dataContainer should be able to report only primary-owned entries, or we have to iterate and apply the filtering outside. > >> b) distexec/MR sum of sharedStore.size() + passivation ? sum of >> dataContainer.size(SKIP_BACKUP_ENTRIES) : 0 > Calling the size on a shared cache actually should work somewhat well > (assuming all entries are stored in the shared cache).

I don't think that reporting incorrect size is *that* harmful - even ConcurrentMap interface says that it's just a wild guess and when things are changing, you can't rely on that. > >> d) wrapper on distributed entry iteration with converters set to return >> 0-sized entries > Entry iterator can't return 0 sized entries (just the values).

Ok, I was simplifying that a bit. And by the way, I don't really like the fact that for distributed entry iteration you need to be able to keep all keys from one segment at one moment in memory. But fine - distributed entry iteration is probably not the right way. > > >> And what about nodes with different configuration? > Hard to know without knowing what the differences are. I had in my mind different loaders and passivation configuration (e.g. some node could use shared store and some don't - do we want to handle such obscure configs? Can we design that without the need to have complicated decision trees what to include and what not?).
