Declaring In-Memory Stores for MashZone NextGen allows MashZone NextGen to connect to stores in BigMemory Max that may have been created and populated by other systems. These In-Memory Stores allow you to store large datasets for quick access and to retrieve them for analysis using RAQL.
Each In-Memory Store holds one dataset with any number of rows, also known as entries, within the memory constraints defined for the store. In previous releases you could store many different datasets in one store with a dataset being one entry in the store.
To allow RAQL to work with external data, external memory stores must be configured with:
There are two types of In-Memory Stores that differ in the way they are configured in MashZone NextGen: declared and dynamic In-Memory Stores.
