Specifically: + +- Some of the regions of the recovering system, when running, were configured as PERSISTENT regions, which means that they save their data to disk. +- At least one of the persistent regions was configured to evict least recently used (LRU) data by overflowing values to disk. + +### How Data is Recovered From Persistent Regions + +Data recovery, upon restart, always recovers keys. You can configure whether and how the system +recovers the values associated with those keys to populate the system cache. + +**Value Recovery** + +- Recovering all values immediately during startup slows the startup time but results in consistent +read performance after the startup on a "hot" cache. + +- Recovering no values means quicker startup but a "cold" cache, so the first retrieval of each value will read from disk. + +- Retrieving values asynchronously in a background thread allows a relatively quick startup on a "warm" cache +that will eventually recover every value. + +**Retrieve or Ignore LRU values** + +When a system with Persistent LRU regions shuts down, the system does not record which of the values --- End diff -- lowercase "persistent"
