Infinispan - Cannot create more that one cache at startup using helm template - kubernetes

Question

I want to create more than one cache using helm, my yaml is the following
deploy:
infinispan:
cacheContainer:
distributedCache:
- name: "mycache"
mode: "SYNC"
owners: "2"
segments: "256"
capacityFactor: "1.0"
statistics: "false"
encoding:
mediaType: "application/x-protostream"
expiration:
lifespan: "3000"
maxIdle: "1001"
memory:
maxCount: "1000000"
whenFull: "REMOVE"
partitionHandling:
whenSplit: "ALLOW_READ_WRITES"
mergePolicy: "PREFERRED_NON_NULL"
- name: "mycache1"
mode: "SYNC"
owners: "2"
segments: "256"
capacityFactor: "1.0"
statistics: "false"
encoding:
mediaType: "application/x-protostream"
expiration:
lifespan: "3000"
maxIdle: "1001"
memory:
maxCount: "1000000"
whenFull: "REMOVE"
partitionHandling:
whenSplit: "ALLOW_READ_WRITES"
mergePolicy: "PREFERRED_NON_NULL"
when when i install the helm i get the following error
Red Hat Data Grid Server failed to start org.infinispan.commons.configuration.io.ConfigurationReaderException: Missing required attribute(s): name[86,1]
I dont know if is possible to create more than one cache. I have followed the following documentation https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_data_grid/8.3/html/building_and_deploying_data_grid_clusters_with_helm/configuring-servers
Thanks for your help.

Yes it's possible to define multiple caches. You have to use the format:
deploy:
infinispan:
cacheContainer:
<1st-cache-name>:
<cache-type>:
<cache-definition>:
...
<2nd-cache-name>:
<cache-type>:
<cache-definition>:
So in your case that will be:
deploy:
infinispan:
cacheContainer:
mycache: # mycache definition follows
distributedCache:
mode: "SYNC"
owners: "2"
segments: "256"
capacityFactor: "1.0"
statistics: "false"
encoding:
mediaType: "application/x-protostream"
expiration:
lifespan: "3000"
maxIdle: "1001"
memory:
maxCount: "1000000"
whenFull: "REMOVE"
partitionHandling:
whenSplit: "ALLOW_READ_WRITES"
mergePolicy: "PREFERRED_NON_NULL"
mycache1: # mycache1 definition follows
distributedCache:
mode: "SYNC"
owners: "2"
segments: "256"
capacityFactor: "1.0"
statistics: "false"
encoding:
mediaType: "application/x-protostream"
expiration:
lifespan: "3000"
maxIdle: "1001"
memory:
maxCount: "1000000"
whenFull: "REMOVE"
partitionHandling:
whenSplit: "ALLOW_READ_WRITES"
mergePolicy: "PREFERRED_NON_NULL"
See here for an example of how to define multiple caches in json/xml/yaml formats.
