[jira] [Updated] (HAMA-546) Add access to remote memory

["Thomas Jungblut (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAMA-546?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Thomas Jungblut updated HAMA-546:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: HAMA-546_1.patch

First API scratch of how it should look like.

I think we should have multiple "CacheServices" each with generic key and value, each cache service is identifiable via a String name. 

Every service instantiated will be managed by the CacheHandler (maybe we can rename to CacheManager to be consistent with sync and messaging).

Then there are concurrent caches and normal caches.

The first patch includes just a rough implementation of normal caches with a map and a queue. 

Currently I am not sure whether we should put the CacheHandler into the Peer or into the MessageManager, but I think the Peer should be the best decision.

As an example of put and get we should add the realtime usage in our wiki.

> bsp_get and bsp_put are integral parts of the BSP computing model.
> They are defined as follows:
> bsp_get [1]
> {quote}
>      The bsp_get(3) and bsp_hpget(3) operations  reach  into  the
>      local   memory   of  another  process  and  copy  previously
>      registered remote data held there into a data  structure  in
>      the local memory of the process that initiated them.
> {quote}
> bsp_put [2]
> {quote}
>      The aim of bsp_put(3) and  bsp_hpput(3)  is  to  provide  an
>      operation  akin  memcpy(3C) available in the Unix <string.h>
>      library.  Both operations copy a specified number of  bytes,
>      from  a byte addressed data structure in the local memory of
>      one process into contiguous memory locations  in  the  local
>      memory of another process. The distinguishing factor between
>      these operations is provided by the buffering choice.
> {quote}
> A very simple implementation can be based on a HashMap on every peer which can be obtained via RPC. 
> In this case we need to extend the MessageManager to be able to do off-the-band communication.
> It would be great to extract a common interface which can be inter-operable with other caching tools like DirectMemory or EHCache.
