How can i create a materialized view in apache geode?

I want to have value based on multiple joins between the table so how can i create a materialized view in apache geode.

Solution

  • Apache Geode is a high available in-memory data store, not a regular RDBMS system, so the "materialized view" concept doesn't even exist out of the box.

    I guess you could simulate something by using CacheListeners and/or CacheWriters (see here) to update an extra Region (using a newly created thread to avoid problems). A simpler option would be to use a Function (see here) and simply calculate whatever you need directly on server side each time.

    Either way, the actual implementation is highly tied to your use case and SLAs, so I'm not in a good position to recommend which option to use.

    Cheers.
