Caching modes

Based on how an application needs to read from or write to an object storage bucket, the following are different caching modes:

• ReadOnly: Use this mode when an application needs to only read from an object storage bucket.
• Exclusive: Use this mode when an application needs to both read from and write to an object storage bucket. Make sure that only a single application writes to the object storage bucket in this case.
• Parallel: Use this mode when multiple applications need to both read from and write to an object storage bucket.
• Detached: Use this mode when an application needs to cache from an object storage bucket and modify the local cached copy without writing the changes back to the bucket.
