- org.apache.geode.cache.DataPolicy

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
@Immutable
public class DataPolicy
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable
```
Enumerated type for region data policy. The data policy specifies how this local cache will handle the data for a region.
1. EMPTY causes data to never be stored in local memory. The region will always appear empty. It can be used to for zero footprint producers that only want to distribute their data to others and for zero footprint consumers that only want to see events.
2. NORMAL causes data that this region is interested in to be stored in local memory. It allows the contents in this cache to differ from other caches.
3. PARTITION causes data that this region holds to be spread across processes. The amount of data held in this cache is configured in PartitionAttributes with a PartitionAttributesFactory.
4. PERSISTENT_PARTITION in addition to PARTITION also causes data to be stored to disk. The region initialization uses the data stored on disk.
5. REPLICATE causes data that this region is interested in to be stored in local memory. A distributed region will be initialized with the data from other caches. On distributed region operations that would cause the contents to differ with other caches are not allowed. This policy is allowed on local scope region but it behaves the same as NORMAL.
6. PERSISTENT_REPLICATE in addition to REPLICATE also causes data to be stored to disk. The region initialization uses the data stored on disk. Note that the persistence applies to both local scope and distributed scope.
Since:

GemFire 5.0

- Field Detail
  - EMPTY
```
@Immutable
public static final DataPolicy EMPTY
```
    Data is never stored in local memory. The region will always be empty locally. It can be used to for zero footprint producers that only want to distribute their data to others and for zero footprint consumers that only want to see events.
  - NORMAL
```
@Immutable
public static final DataPolicy NORMAL
```
    Allows the contents in this cache to differ from other caches.
    Data that this region is interested in is stored in local memory.
  - REPLICATE
```
@Immutable
public static final DataPolicy REPLICATE
```
    The region will be initialized with the data from other caches and accepts any new entries created in other caches.
    Operations that would cause the contents to differ with other caches are not allowed.
    Data that this region is interested in is stored in local memory.
  - PERSISTENT_REPLICATE
```
@Immutable
public static final DataPolicy PERSISTENT_REPLICATE
```
    In addition to REPLICATE also causes data to be stored to disk. The region initialization may use the data stored on disk.
  - PARTITION
```
@Immutable
public static final DataPolicy PARTITION
```
    Data in this region may be spread across a number of processes. This is further configured with partitioning attributes
  - PRELOADED
```
@Immutable
public static final DataPolicy PRELOADED
```
    In addition to NORMAL, contents inside of this cache are (partially) initialized with data from other caches, if available.
  - PERSISTENT_PARTITION
```
@Immutable
public static final DataPolicy PERSISTENT_PARTITION
```
    In addition to PARTITION also causes data to be stored to disk. The region initialization may use the data stored on disk.
    
    Since:
    
    GemFire 6.5
  - DEFAULT
```
@Immutable
public static final DataPolicy DEFAULT
```
    The data policy used by default; it is NORMAL.
  - ordinal
```
@Deprecated
public final byte ordinal
```
    Deprecated.
