Accessing BigMemory Data from Your Application

BigMemory Max 4.3.2 | Component Documentation | Cross-Language Clients User Guide | BigMemory C++ Client | Accessing BigMemory Data from Your Application

This section provides basic code snippets for accessing BigMemory data from your application. For more explanation, refer to Using the .NET Client API. For the complete class library documentation, refer to the API documentation in the /apis/cpp/apidoc-cpp.zip directory of the kit.

Create a CacheManager

This snippet creates a CacheManager configuration that uses the Nirvana Shared Memory (SHM) transport and provisions a pool of 10 connections.

XPlatform::createCacheManager(terracotta::ehcache::config::Configuration("/dev/shm", 10));

Retrieve a Cache from the CacheManager

This snippet can be used with the .NET client demo samples in the kit (see demo code samples). Notice that a serializer must be specified.

cacheManager->getCache(cacheName, RecipeProtoBufSerializer());

Get or put entries into the cache

This snippet can be used with the .NET client demo samples in the kit (see demo code samples). Notice that you have the option to call the configured consistency type for get and put operations.

cache->put(key, recipeStructure, type);

Searches of BigMemory data can be made using the BigMemory Structured Query Language (SQL). Refer to the Search section in Using the C++ Client API.
