what is the MAX cache size and what is the max value for cache life?

[#1]

1)What is the MAX size of the cache? - I know it is backed by Cassandra ultimately - the values are blob - but is there a max size in the apigee code?

2)What is the max value for cache life? I saw that the value was potentially HUGE based on the datatype in the database - but im looking for the max as handled by the app (i cant assume its the same as in the DB)

Hello Benjamin,

Below are the answers as per the code

1) # The total amount of memory that is usable for caching. The system will not

# allow the user to configure a cache if the size of all the existing caches # together exceeds this amount

totalCacheMemorySizeKB=200056

2) Cache life can be set to infinite.

Some additional information:

# The total amount of memory that is usable for on-disk caching. The system will # not allow the user to configure a cache with disk support if the size of all # the existing caches together exceeds this amount

#totalDiskSizeMB=100

env-cache.properties:maxElementsInMemory=1024

Hi There,

Will it remain same in case of multiple node ?Can we get more visibility from a on premise multi instance set up?

I have checked the following post as well . Just curious if "totalCacheMemorySizeKB=200056" will be on L1 cache ?

How can we set cache life to infinity?
