Multimap Configuration
Multimap is a specialized map, in which you can store multiple values for a single key.
Multimap Name
You can give to custom name to your multimap structure.
MultiMap<String , String > customerMap = hazelcastInstance.getMultiMap("customer_map");Value Collection Type
When using multimap, the collection type of values can be either Set or List.
The default value is Set.
If you choose Set, duplicate and null values are not allowed in your collection and ordering is irrelevant.
If you choose List, ordering is relevant and your collection can include duplicate and null values.
Backup Count
Defines the number of synchronous backups. Let’s say as an example: if it is set to 1, the backup of a partition will be placed on one other member. If it is 2, it will be placed on two other members.
Asynchronous Backups Count
The number of asynchronous backups. Behavior is the same as that of the Backup Count property.
Usage Examples
//Set Example
MultiMap<Integer, String> customerReviews = hazelcastInstance.getMultiMap("customer_reviews");
customerReviews.put(1, "Review-1");
customerReviews.put(1, "Review-2");
customerReviews.put(1, "Review-3");
customerReviews.put(1, "Review-1");
System.out.println(customerReviews.get(1));
//Output
[Review-1, Review-2, Review-3]// List Example
MultiMap<Integer, String> customerProductView = hazelcastInstance.getMultiMap("customer_product_view");
customerProductView.put(1, "Product-1");
customerProductView.put(1, "Product-2");
customerProductView.put(1, "Product-3");
customerProductView.put(1, "Product-1");
customerProductView.put(1, "Product-4");
System.out.println(customerProductView.get(1));
//Output
[Product-1, Product-2, Product-3, Product-1, Product-4]
