Distributed Cache Failure

Distributed cache failure can occure due to network failure or if the cache servers are down.

Network failure
This refers to a sustained loss of network connectivity between all cluster nodes. Distributed cache architecture provides a robust mechanism to handle such network failure for nodes leaving and rejoining the cluster. However, in case of a complete network failure, cache consistency cannot be established.
Cache servers going down
If all the cache servers go down simultaneously or one by one, the application needs to respond to cache failure in a graceful manner.
