# Cache Loaders

Loaders provide an optional mechanism for loading data into the cache from a backend datastore, such as a relational database. Users can implement and associate Cache Loaders with a region of the cache. These Cache Loaders can be installed locally on the client (Driver or Engine) or globally, in the GridServer Broker.

## Global

Use a Global Cache Loader for synchronized regions from which all clients can access data.

| • | Global loaders are defined and configured in the schemas.

| • | When other clients get access to that region, they automatically are using that loader.

| • | A client can specifically pre-load data into the cache by explicitly calling the load method with a single key or a list of keys.

| • | If a get does not find data, the loader then attempts to load for that key by calling the loader’s load method.

| • | Puts are not allowed on regions with loaders.

| • | Global loaders are written in Java, but can be bridged to native or .NET code through JNI.

| • | Global CacheLoader JAR files are deployed to the `lib` directory in the cache directory. By default, the cache directory is `DS_DATA``/cache`. Configure the cache directory in the Cache section of the Manager Configuration page in the Administration Tool.

## Local

Use a local loader to cache data locally from an external database. Clients do not share local loaders.

| • | Puts (writes) are not allowed, as it is a local cache, and data is not propagated to other clients or regions.

| • | Removing an item is not allowed. Instead, invalidate the item. Invalidating causes the item to be removed from other clients' caches.

| • | Local loaders can only be .NET or Java. You can adapt CPP loaders through JNI or managed C++.
