Description

I would like to propose additional way to configure dynamic caches, with support for wild cards.

For example, I should be able to select default config settings for all caches, with names starting from org.mycaches.*. Then, when creating a cache, I can omit passing the configuration, and call:

    IgniteCache<A, B> cache = ignite.getOrCreateCache("org.mycaches.Persons");

In this case, Ignite will find the closest configuration name, that matches the cache name, and use it.

Note, that our existing cache configuration API can already support this design:

• If CacheConfiguration has no name, then it becomes the default template for all caches.
• If CacheConfiguration has a name with a wild-card, then it becomes a template configuration.
• Otherwise, we should use exact name matching.
