> Ignite, when persistence mode is enabled, stores data and indexes on disk. To
> minimize the latency of disks, several tuning options can be applied. Setting
> the page size of a memory region to match the page size of the underlying
> storage, using a separate disk for the WAL, and using production-level SSDs
> are just a few of them [
> https://apacheignite.readme.io/docs/durable-memory-tuning#section-native-persistence-related-tuning
> ].
>
> A persistent memory store with low latency and high capacity offers a viable
> alternative to disks. In light of this, we are proposing to make use of our
> Low Level Persistent Library (LLPL),
> https://github.com/pmem/pcj/tree/master/LLPL, to offer a persistent memory
> storage for Ignite.
>
> At this point, we envision two distinct implementation options:
> # Data and indexes will continue to be stored in the off-heap memory but the
> disk will be replaced by a persistent memory. Since persistence memory in
> this option is not a file system, the logic currently offered by WAL file and
> the partition files would have to be implemented from scratch.
> # In this option, we eliminate the current check-point process and the WAL
> file. We will use a memory region defined by LLPL to store data and indexes.
> There will be no off-heap memory. DRAM will be exclusively used to store hot
> cache entries just like the on-heap cache is in the current implementation.
>
>
> In both cases, there are more details and subtleties that have to handled –
> e.g. the atomic and transactional guarantees offered. More clarifications
> will be given as we go along.
