> First of all this is not even an appropriate Exception! {{CacheCloseException}} because my client had no open Pools to an available server with a PDX type registry.
> 1. Creating client local-only applications not connected to an entire cluster or server is a very useful and practical arrangement during development.
> 2. My application should not have to be a peer {{Cache}} to have an available PDX type registry to store PDX instances in client {{LOCAL}} Regions.
> 3. It is actually highly useful to run my application in local-only mode, in a local-only context (i.e. with only client {{LOCAL}} Regions) without a cluster or server for development, testing and debugging purposes.
> 4. It is also really useful if my application can also store PDX bytes, even in client {{LOCAL}} (only) Regions for development, testing and debugging purposes.
> Some find it hard to imagine why an application would want to do this, store PDX instead of POJOs. However, consider the fact that my application might be part of a larger Microservices architecture that communicate via a RESTful interfaces. They pass JSON back and forth, which might either be complex or unstructured. Either way, it is possible I don't have or don't want to create POJOs (types) matching the JSON that my Microservice consumes. I simply want access to certain bits of information which PDX is adequately suited for. These client LOCAL Regions might even be temporary. When connected, I might even want to share this data (or aggregated data) with Native Clients which most certainly won't have Java types matching the JSON content, raw or summarized.
> EXPECTED:
> As a developer using Apache Geode, I expected to be able to develop (primarily) {{ClientCache}} applications, run them locally with client {{LOCAL}} Regions, storing data in PDX format as necessary, all without requiring a complex setup (e.g. such as a cluster or a server).
