About Bulk Loading
BigMemory Max has a bulk-loading mode that dramatically speeds up bulk loading into caches using the Terracotta Server Array (TSA). Bulk loading is designed to be used for:
Cache warming, where caches need to be filled before bringing an application online.
Periodic batch loading, such as an overnight batch process that uploads data.
The bulk-load API optimizes bulk-loading of data by removing the requirement for locks and by adding transaction batching. The bulk-load API also allows applications to discover whether a cache is in bulk-load mode and to block based on that mode.
