Multi-operational transactional access of in-memory data grids in a client-server environment

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a node in a server computing system in an in-memory data grid, a request from a client computing system to perform an operation pertaining to multi-operational transactional access of data stored in caches being managed by a plurality of nodes residing in virtual machines in the in-memory data grid, the request being a translation of an original request from an application residing outside of the virtual machines and comprising header data based on transaction context data indicating that the client computing system is in a multi-operational transaction mode;
• identifying a node having cache data relating to the operation in the in-memory data grid;
• storing node tracking data to associate the identified node with a transaction identifier for the multi-operational transaction in the request;
• and
• sending the request to the identified node, wherein the identified node performs the requested operation on the cache and stores operation tracking data to associate the operation with the transaction identifier.

A system comprising:

• a first memory to store transaction context data indicating a start of a multi-operational transaction;
• and
• a first processing device coupled to the first memory to:
• identify the start of the multi-operational transaction pertaining to access of data stored in caches being managed by a plurality of nodes residing in virtual machines in an in-memory data grid;
• identify an application request to perform an operation pertaining to the multi-operational transaction, the application request from an application residing outside of the virtual machines;
• determine a transaction context of the operation based on the transaction context data;
• and
• send an operation request over a network to a managing node in the in-memory data grid, wherein the managing node manages the multi-operational transaction of accessing the caches being managed by the nodes in the in-memory data grid, and wherein the operation request comprises header data based on the transaction context data indicating that the first processing device is in a multi-operational transaction mode.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform a set of operations comprising:

• identifying a start of a multi-operational transaction pertaining to access of data stored in caches being managed by a plurality of nodes residing in virtual machines in an in-memory data grid;
• storing transaction context data indicating the start of the multi-operational transaction;
• identifying an application request to perform an operation pertaining to the multi-operational transaction, the application request from an application residing outside of the virtual machines;
• determining a transaction context of the operation based on the transaction context data;
• and
• sending, by the processing device, an operation request over a network to a managing node in the in-memory data grid, wherein the managing node manages the multi-operational transaction of accessing the caches being managed by the nodes in the in-memory data grid, and wherein the operation request comprises header data based on the transaction context data indicating that the processing device is in a multi-operational transaction mode.
