About objects

Learn about Piiano Vault personal data objects

Objects hold data values for record within a collection. Each object conforms to the schema of the collection it belongs to.

Schema cache

Vault maintains a cached copy of the schema for each collection in memory. For performance reasons, this cache works so that schema information is eventually consistent. Where Vault runs in multiple instances, this eventual consistency can impact reading and writing objects when there are schema changes. See the metadata cache page for more information.
