Gridsets

The purpose of gridsets is to help set up the disaster recovery process. A group of data grids that share the same set of consistent data is referred to as a gridset. Each gridset has a name, which exists in the same namespace as data grid names (For example, you cannot have a data grid named “prod” and a gridset named “prod”). Each gridset also has a single primary data grid. Within a gridset, there is a single authoritative schema, which is owned by the primary data grid of the gridset.

Each data grid might belong to at most one gridset. Data grids in a gridset do not need to have the same replication factor, number of copysets, or number of state keepers, but care must be taken to ensure that a mirror data grid has sufficient capacity to handle the required load if administrators choose to make it the primary data grid.
