Annotation Type RoundRobinPartitioning

@Target(value={TYPE,METHOD,FIELD})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface RoundRobinPartitioning

RoundRobinPartitioning sends requests in a round robin fashion to the set of connection pools. It is for load-balancing read queries across a cluster of database machines. It requires that the full database be replicated on each machine, so does not support partitioning. The data should either be read-only, or writes should be replicated on the database.

Partitioning can be enabled on an Entity, relationship, query, or session/persistence unit. Partition policies are globally named to allow reuse, the partitioning policy must also be set using the @Partitioned annotation to be used.
