I believe there might be a consistency-related reason why this flag was disabled by default for caches that store data in Ignite native persistence. I hope, Alex Goncharuk or Scherbakov can shed some light on this.
As for the memory-only caches or caches backed up by a CacheStore such as an RDBMS, enabling of the flag should be harmless. Once we do this, we'll eliminate the need to load the data back into the cluster which can be a time-consuming operation depending on the data volume. - Denis On Wed, Feb 5, 2020 at 11:58 AM Vladimir Steshin <vlads...@gmail.com> wrote: > Denis, but why reuse-data-on-deactivate was disabled by default?
