Hi Yaswanth, "my average retrieval time is 2.3 Seconds" -is that 2.3 seconds per object or 2.3 seconds per 10,000 objects?
Whichever the case- I'd not expect retrieval time from a remote cache server to be faster than say retrieving from a database, if that's what you're comparing with. The point of JCS is not to compete with database drivers in network round-trip retrieval speed. The point is to eliminate network round trips. If, in your test, one server is putting an object into the cache and you are timing how long it takes the other server to retrieve it, you won't be getting real-world statistics. You should time how long it would take the second server to retrieve the same object multiple times, which is what your app would probably be doing in production (if your data is cacheable i.e. is repeatedly read more than once). Also you should have a warm-up run in your test because initialising the cache takes a couple of seconds but only happens at application startup. The remote cache server is not a distributed cache by itself - it exists to *coordinate* the distributed cache. The JCS client libraries which you'll have in each application connect to and retrieve objects from the remote cache server and then keep copies in local RAM to allow them to avoid network round trips when they next need the same data. The remote cache in the meantime keeps each client in sync with other clients by notifying clients when data changes. If n=retrieval iteration, you'll probably find that when n=1, timetaken=0.5 seconds n=2, timetaken=0.00004 seconds n=3, timetaken=0.00004 seconds ..and so on. Then you need to run the same test, but this time comparing time taken when you repeatedly read from a busy database. Databases have built-in caches, so for n=2 you'll see a slight improvement, but it will still be at least hundreds of times slower than retrieving from local RAM.
