For complex data models usage of reference based (foreign keys) is not very comfortable for business logic developers. Moreover, GUI frequently create queries to get data matching specific criteria.

In such situation, JPA (and OpenJPA implementation to be specific) can ease usage of GemFire as data storage. In addition PDX storage format can be treated as a "relational" data representation and JPA entities as objects.
