Apache Geode distributed system and cache configuration

To work with your Apache Geode application, use a combination of configuration files and application code.

• distributed system member

          Distributed system members are programs that connect to a Geode distributed system. You can configure members to belong to a single distributed system, and you can optionally configure them to be clients and servers of members in other distributed systems, and to communicate with other distributed systems.

• property settings

         Geode provides a default distributed system configuration for out-of-the-box systems. In order to use no default configuration and optimize your member communications, you can use various combinations of options to customize your distributed system configuration.

• Configuration options for cache and data regions

          In order to populate your Apache Geode cache and optimize its storage and distribution behavior, you need to define cache data regions and provide custom configuration for caches and regions.

• Local and remote members and caches

           For many Apache Geode discussions, you need to understand the difference between local members and caches and remote members and caches.
