Hi,

I am trying to understand the support in Ignite for spilling over to disk
when memory limits are reached.

I see there is a feature of swap space as in the link below,
https://apacheignite.readme.io/docs/off-heap-memory#swap-space

But, I am not clear on how it works.

When we configure swap-space it appears the cached data would be stored in
swap space.

But, what would the change be from the perspective of client. Is it
completely transparent to the client.

I do understand that there would be a performance impact if it is enabled,
as it would slow the cache operations as some data would be in memory and
some in disk.

Does this feature work and can we rely on it for critical scenarios where we
expect data size to be more which cannot be accommodated within the
configured memory limits.

Also, is there a way we can configure it per cache and not globally so that
for some items alone it can spill over to disk
