Interface IKeyAssociation

A KeyAssociation represents a key object that has a natural association with another key object.

Namespace: Tangosol.Net.Cache

Assembly: Coherence.dll

Syntax

public interface IKeyAssociation

Remarks

The key object and the associated key may refer to entries in the same or different caches.

For example, the information provided by a key that implements IKeyAssociation may be used to place the key into the same partition as its associated key.

See KeyAssociatedFilter for an example of a distributed query that takes advantage of a custom IKeyAssociation implementation to dramatically optimize its performance.
