Clear Hibernate 2nd level Cache

Question

I want to clear cache data from 2nd level cache by calling below method:

sessionFactory.getCache().evictEntityRegions();

I just want to know , is there any harm in doing this? For example: What will happen if I try to clear cache in middle of transaction?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

No, there is no harm in doing that. Effectively, the same thing happens when you configure the cache provider to evict/expire items based on the defined eviction/expiration policy.
