Need Community users thoughts....

In one of our application, we have enabled HIBERNATE CACHE in HBM with <cache usage="read-write"/>. After few months of deployment we decide to remove hibernate cache. So deployed new build on “NEAR LIVE” environment only after removing hibernate caching properties in HBM files.

Note both PROD and Near Live is using same DB and Memcache Servers. Does new deployment with out cache on Near Live have any affect on PROD environment? Since we have only deployed on NEAR LIVE , however DB and Memcache is shared by both environment.

Does new HBM affect PROD server. Does Hibernate build “META DATA” in cache? Will it over written across PROD servers ?.

Thanks,
