Configure entities

A data grid can have any number of logical entity schemas.

Entities are defined using annotated Java classes, XML, or a combination of both XML and Java classes. Defined entities are then registered with an eXtreme Scale server and are bound to BackingMaps, indexes and other plug-ins.

An entity schema is a set of entities and the relationships between the entities.
