Hazelcast MultiMap, also known as IMultiMap, is a specialized map for storing multiple values under a single key. Just like any other distributed data structure implementation in Hazelcast, MultiMap is distributed and thread-safe. You can create and configure MultiMaps using the MultiMap custom resource.
Configure a MultiMap resource
You can use any of the following configuration options in the MultiMap resource. For more information, see the API reference.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
|
Name of the MultiMap that you’re creating. If empty, the custom resource (CR) name is used. |
|
Name of the Hazelcast resource. |
|
Count of synchronous backups. |
|
When true, stores all MultiMap values in BINARY format. When false, values are stored in OBJECT format. |
|
The type of the value collection. Use either SET or LIST. |
