RTC: Thoughts Around AppFabric Caching
- Stating the obvious, thought needs to be applied when moving from an in-memory representation of a cube to a AppFabic Caching world. What I mean by this is that the proof of concept (POC) code for the real-time cube (RTC) was fine, but very much a POC, it unfortunately had a few architectural issues which caused issues moving the RTC to AppFabric
- Notification are key to accessing RTC measures, however its important to read the MSDN documentation e.g. “It is possible, depending on system load, that some cache clients may not receive notifications before they are truncated in the cache host queues”
- Regions can possible be leveraged from a natural partitioning of dimensions.
- Be aware of Expiration and Eviction policies
- Tagging could be interesting late in this POC
