What happens if one of the in-memory data grid partitions fails?
The backup partition takes over and becomes the primary. GigaSpaces EDG re-directs the failed operation to the hot backup implicitly. This enables a smooth transition of the client application during failure — as if nothing happened. Each primary node may have multiple backups to further reduce the chance of total failure. In addition, the cluster manager component detects failure and provisions a new backup instance on one of the available machines.
