Goal

Coherence provides cache events using the JavaBean Event model. It is extremely simple to receive the events that user needs, where user needs them, regardless of where the changes are actually occurring in the cluster. Developers that are familiar with the JavaBean model should have no difficulties working with events, even in a complex cluster. In the JavaBeans Event model, there is an EventListener interface that all listeners must extend. Coherence provides a MapListener interface, which allows application logic to receive events when data in a Coherence cache is added, modified or removed.

The MapEvent object that is passed to the MapListener carries all of the necessary information about the event that has occurred, including the source (ObservableMap) that raised the event, the identity (key) that the event is related to, what the action was against that identity (insert, update or delete), what the old value was and what the new value is.

In some cases user does not need know the values but need to know event type to do some (a)synchronous post event processing, so it is a burden to carry values over the wire from cache cluster to cache clients. This is a network and memory stress to the nodes in the cluster. So...
