Terracotta bigmemory-max client

In a multi stripes distributed cache cluster:
1. How does client requests are balanced between different stripes?
2. Does client fetch/put data only from/to one stripe (which internally might remotely forward the request to another stripe's active server according to the location of the partitioned data)?

1. The striping is based on sharding data. So requests go to the stripe that holds the data for a given key.
2. Clients know about cluster topology and direct requests to the correct stripe based on the data key.
