public class CacheEvent
extends MapEvent

An extension of the MapEvent which allows to differentiate between client driven (natural) events and cache internal (synthetic) events.

Consider a client code calling a remove() method for a cache. Quite naturally it causes a corresponding ENTRY_DELETED event. However, the same event could be as well caused by the client code calling put() forcing an entry eviction. Alternatively, the put() method called by a client code naturally causes either ENTRY_INSERTED or ENTRY_UPDATED event. However, the same event could be as well caused by a client call to a get() method that in turn forces an entry insertion by a cache loader.
