    Fields
    Modifier and Type | Field and Description
    --- | ---
    `static Scope` | `DISTRIBUTED_ACK` The region or cached object with this attribute is scoped to the distributed cached system; any distributed operation will not return until all the remote acknowledgments come back.
    `static Scope` | `DISTRIBUTED_NO_ACK` The region or cached object with this attribute is scoped to the distributed cached system; any distributed operation will return without waiting for the remote acknowledgment.
    `static Scope` | `GLOBAL` The region or cached object with this attribute is scoped to the distributed cached system; locking is used for all distributed operations on entries to guarantee consistency across the distributed caches.
    `static Scope` | `LOCAL` The region with this attribute is scoped to this JVM only.
    `int` | `ordinal`

    `static Scope` | `fromString(String scope)` Parse the given string into a Scope
    `boolean` | `isAck()` Returns whether acknowledgements are required for this scope.
    `boolean` | `isDistributed()` Returns whether this is one of the distributed scopes.
    `boolean` | `isDistributedAck()` Returns whether this is distributed ack scope.
    `boolean` | `isDistributedNoAck()` Returns whether this is distributed no ack scope.
    `boolean` | `isGlobal()` Returns whether this is global scope.

    - #### LOCAL

          @Immutable
          public static final Scope LOCAL

      The region with this attribute is scoped to this JVM only. Operations and data are not distributed to other caches.

    - #### DISTRIBUTED_NO_ACK

          @Immutable
          public static final Scope DISTRIBUTED_NO_ACK

      The region or cached object with this attribute is scoped to the distributed cached system; any distributed operation will return without waiting for the remote acknowledgment.

    - #### DISTRIBUTED_ACK

          @Immutable
          public static final Scope DISTRIBUTED_ACK

      The region or cached object with this attribute is scoped to the distributed cached system; any distributed operation will not return until all the remote acknowledgments come back.

    - #### GLOBAL

          @Immutable
          public static final Scope GLOBAL

      The region or cached object with this attribute is scoped to the distributed cached system; locking is used for all distributed operations on entries to guarantee consistency across the distributed caches.

    - #### ordinal

          public final int ordinal

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### fromOrdinal

          public static Scope fromOrdinal(int ordinal)

      Return the Scope represented by specified ordinal

          public boolean isLocal()

      Returns whether this is local scope.
      Returns:
        true if this is LOCAL

    - #### isDistributed

          public boolean isDistributed()

      Returns whether this is one of the distributed scopes.
