Random means anywhere in empty memory space. When you create an entry, a new block is create for this value only. If you remove an entry, memory is released. Once removed, it can be used by any application including Ignite. Basically, the actual location where memory is allocated is defined by OS.
Cache clear will free all the memory consumed by entries in this cache. -val -- View this message in context: http://apache-ignite-users.70518.x6.nabble.com/OFFHEAP-TIERED-and-memory-fragmentation-tp10218p10232.html Sent from the Apache Ignite Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
