Motivation

Need for a possibility to implement Implement thin Ignite client in any programming language / platform using a well-defined binary connectiona protocol.

"Thin" here means that we do not start an Ignite node in order to communicate with the cluster, we do not implement discovery/communication spi logic, as opposed to currently available Ignite Client Mode.

Description

TCP Socket

Every Ignite node listens on a TCP port. Thin client implementations connect to any node in the cluster through TCP socket and perform Ignite operations using a well-defined binary protocol.

Server-side connection parameters are defined in {{ClientConnectorConfiguration}} class.
