William, You don't need a projection for you use case - just create a separate cache for each user. You can use Ignite.getOrCreateCache() method for this. This will give you the same functionality, but won't require any additional code to support multiple users (like having user ID in model classes and implementing projection filters). It will also be more performant in some cases. E.g., iterations are much faster, because you iterate through the data for particular user only instead of going through all entries applying the filter to each of them.
