- The number in front of the component's name shows an order in which components are initialized. So the very first component to be initialized during node startup is Vault. There are few components that should be instantiated before node start-up: cli and ignite-runner, however they are out of the scope of the node startup process.
- Arrows show direct method calls. For example Affinity component could retrieve baseline from Baseline component using some sort of baseline() method. In order to decrease mess a bit, two explicit groups of arrows are introduced:
- Green Arrows shows show direct method calls of DMS to Meta Storage (MS) Component.
- Blue Arrows shows show direct method calls of to Configuration Component.
- There's also an upwards communication flow through the listeners/watches mechanism. However, within the scope of alpha 2 release, it's only possible to listen to Vault, MetaStorageMeta Storage, and Configuration updates.

VaultManager | - | - LocalConfigurationManager in order to store local configuration and update it consistently through listeners.
- MetastorageManager in order to commit processed DMS MS watch notifications atomically with corresponding applied revision.

LocalConfigurationManager | VaultManager | - NetworkManager in order to bootstrap itself with network configuration including sort of IPFinder and handle corresponding configuration changes.
- MetaStorageManager in order to handle meta storage group changes.
- ConfigurationManager indirectly through LocalConfigurationStorage for the purposes of handling local configuration changes.

It's possible to instantiate network manager when local configuration manager with vault underneath it is ready.
Code Block |

language | java |

title | Network Manager |

NetworkView netConfigurationView =
locConfigurationMgr.configurationRegistry().getConfiguration(NetworkConfiguration.KEY).value();
// Network startup.
Network net = new Network(
new ScaleCubeNetworkClusterFactory(
localMemberName,
netConfigurationView.port(),
Arrays.asList(netConfigurationView.networkMembersNames()),
new ScaleCubeMemberResolver()));
NetworkCluster netMember = net.start(); |

// MetaStorage Component startup.
MetaStorageManager metaStorageMgr = new MetaStorageManager(
netMember,
raftMgr,
locConfigurationMgr
);
// Here distirbuteddistributed configuraion keys are registered.
configurationStorages.add(new DistributedConfigurationStorage(metaStorageMgr));
// Start configuration manager.
ConfigurationManager configurationMgr = new ConfigurationManager(rootKeys, configurationStorages); |
...
At this point it's possible to start business logic components like Baseline Manager, Affinity Manager, Schema Manager and Table Manager. Exact The exact set of such components it is undefined.

// Baseline manager startup.
BaselineManager baselineMgr = new BaselineManager(configurationMgr, metaStorageMgr, netMember);
// Affinity manager startup.
AffinityManager affinityMgr = new AffinityManager(configurationMgr, metaStorageMgr, baselineMgr);
SchemaManager schemaManager = new SchemaManager(configurationMgr);
// Distributed table manager startup.
TableManager distributedTblMgr = new TableManagerImpl(
configurationMgr,
netMember,
metaStorageMgr,
affinityMgr,
schemaManager);
// Rest manager also goes here. |

Deploying watches and preparing IgnitionImpl
Finally, it's possible to deploy registered watches and create IgniteImpl that will inject top-level managers in order to provide table and data manipulation logic to the user.
Code Block |
---|
language | java |
---|
title | Deploy registered watches and create IgniteImpl |
---|
|
// Deploy all resisted watches cause all components are ready and have registered their listeners.
metaStorageMgr.deployWatches();
return new IgniteImpl(configurationMgr, distributedTblMgr); |
Component flow
In general from some point of view node is a collaboration of components mentioned above. In order to satisfy needs of:
- Node start/stop
- Dynamic component start/stop
- Dynamic run level changes both forward and backwards
it makes sense to describe component flow in more detail. Here it is:
- Component object instantiation.
- Dependencies injection either with constructor or DI framework.
- Component start either in specified run level or with default one:
- Read and apply related local configuration if any.
- Check whether a component's state lags behind the state of already started components, in other words check if component's applied revision is less than node's applied revision (by design all already started components will have same applied revision, so it's possible to denote such bunch of applied revisions as node applied revision). Applied revision here is the latest revision of configuration and meta storage updates that component have successfully processed and committed to vault. If the current component's applied revision is less then node's one than component either uses historical update logic(optimization, not an option currently) or full one to promote the state. Both options will be described in more detail in corresponding sections.
- Deploy configuration and meta storage watches in order to be notified about any new updates.
- Register message handlers.
- Register local components listeners.
- Start threads/thread pools.
- All other inner related stuff.
- Please pay attention that the order and completeness of the above operations are not strictly defined and depend on the design specifics of a particular component.
Component is ready.
- At a given state it's possible to move component's run level both further or backwards. Depending on the specified run level it might be necessary to process logic specified at step 3.
- Component stop. The core point of stopping a component is to safely terminate the component's ongoing operations as fast as possible. That include following steps:
- Unregister configuration component's configuration listeners and meta storage watches.
Prevent any network communication. In case of an attempt of a network communication - ComponentStoppingException should be thrown. Catching such exceptions should complete awaiting futures if any with corresponding reason. - Unregister local listeners that will also complete local listeners futures with ComponentStoppingException.
- Stop treads/thread pools and do all other inner component related stuff.
Historical update
Historical here reflects a certain similarity with the historical rebalance design. It is worth mentioning that the main problem of upgrading components to the state that is newer than node's state is an impossibility of doing consistant reads of beneath components. In other words, if we start TableManager from within appliedRevision 10 and SchemaManager already have appliedRevision 20, schemaManager.getScheama(tableId) will return schema for revision 20 that is not expected by TableManager that processes table updates for revision 11. In order to provide consistent reads, the requested component could analyze the callers context and either recalculate requested data based on callers applied revision or return previously cached historical data. In any case this logic seems to be non-trivial and might be implemented later as a sort of optimization.
Full update
Another solution to satisfy component update that will preserve consistent cross components reads will include:
- Component's data eviction.
- Synchronous component's state retrieval from distributedConfigurationManager. At this point, cause all intermediate updates are skipped and only up to date state is retrieved, consistent cross component reads are guaranteed.
