If a Hazelcast member is embedded into an application directly and the Hazelcast client is not used, the Server Provider is required. In this case, the member itself becomes a part of the distributed cache and requests and operations are distributed directly across the cluster by its given key.
The Server Provider provides the same features as the Client provider, but it keeps data in the local Hazelcast member and also distributes non-owned keys to other direct cluster members.
Like the Client Provider, the Server Provider can connect to multiple clusters at the same time. This can be achieved by scoping the client side CacheManager with different Hazelcast configuration files. For more
information please see Scoping to Join Clusters.
To request this CachingProvider using Caching#getCachingProvider( String ) or
Caching#getCachingProvider( String, ClassLoader ), use the following fully qualified class name:
com.hazelcast.cache.impl.HazelcastServerCachingProvider
