What's the difference between terracotta-hibernate-cache and Ehcache Distributed with Terracotta?

Question

Is there a difference between using Ehcache as Hibernate's second-level cache provider and distributing it with Terracotta, and using terracotta-hibernate-cache and terracotta-hibernate-agent?

Answer 1

The short answer is the latter is deprecated and you should use the former. terracotta-hiberante-cache & others predate the Ehcache acquisition. In the meantime ehcache (clustered with terracotta or not) has had much investment done in and provide you with better results...
