Issue

  •  It has been observed  that when a user makes an update of the cache in one node, it removes that entry from the cache in other nodes.  

Environment

  • DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • This is an expected behavior.

  • When an entity change is persisted, Liferay broadcasts a message to all nodes via JGroups. The message is akin to: "web content id 36745689 is updated".
     
  • Upon receiving the message, the node will expire that entry, if it is in the cache. A subsequent retrieve of the updated entity will be a “cache miss” and will be retrieved from the database and added to the cache again, this makes it current.
