If an object store is configured as non-persistent, where is the data stored?

• A. In a distributed memory cache.
• B. In the local file system.
• C. Only in the JVM memory.
• D. On external storage.

Answer: (C)

Non-persistent means the object store keeps data only in the process memory of the running JVM. The data is stored in the JVM heap, not written to disk, and not placed in any external storage. Because it lives in memory, it’s lost if the application stops or crashes, and in a cluster each node typically has its own in-memory store rather than a shared disk-backed store. This is why the data is described as being stored only in the JVM memory.
