SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING PARTITION LEVEL JOURNALING FOR SYNCHRONIZING DATA IN A DISTRIBUTED DATA GRID

A system and method can support partition level journaling for synchronizing data between clusters in a distributed data grid. The system can associate a journal cache with one or more user caches in a local cluster, wherein said one or more user caches are split into a plurality of partitions. Furthermore, the system can capture one or more data changes that are applied to different partitions of said one or more user caches, and can store said one or more data changes in the journal cache that supports synchronization with remote clusters.
