MapStorage (Keycloak Docs Distribution 21.0.1 API)

Type Parameters:

V - Type of the stored values that contains all the data stripped of session state. In other words, in the entities there are only IDs and mostly primitive types / String, never references to *Model instances. See the Abstract*Entity classes in this module.

M - Type of the *Model corresponding to the stored value, e.g. UserModel. This is used for filtering via model fields in ModelCriteriaBuilder which is necessary to abstract from physical layout and thus to support no-downtime upgrade.

All Known Subinterfaces:

MapStorageWithAuth<V,M>

All Known Implementing Classes:

ConcurrentHashMapStorage, EmptyMapStorage, FileMapStorage, HotRodMapStorage, SingleUseObjectConcurrentHashMapStorage, SingleUseObjectHotRodMapStorage
