Custom Resource Configuration
To define a cluster, adjust the following resources:
ignite.yaml contains a set of high-level cluster settings, please check the Ignite Resource section for more details.
ignite_config.yaml contains a set of internal cluster settings, please check the IgniteConfig Resource section for more details.
To apply changes, save the files and run the following commands:
kubectl apply -f crds/ignite.yaml -n apache-ignite-operator
kubectl apply -f crds/ignite_config.yaml -n apache-ignite-operatorIgnite Resource
Ignite resource is represented by the ignite.yaml file and contains high-level configuration details such as k8s namespace, cluster name, and number of nodes.
To create a resource, use the following command:
kubectl apply -f ignite.yamlNamespace
A namespace at which to deploy a cluster. The default value is apache-ignite
cluster_name
The name of the cluster. The default value is apache-ignite-cluster. Cluster name is used by Kubernetes to create different objects, like pods.
cluster_type [persistence|inmemory]
Defines whether the cluster should use pure in-memory data access or use a persistence storage model.
The default value is persistence. After cluster initialization, the value cannot be changed.
When the value is set to persistence, it is mandatory to configure the StorageClass value that the operator uses to provide the required data stores.
storage_class_name
For cluster_type: "persistence" it is mandatory to have at least one storage class configured for the Kubernetes cluster. By default, if storage_class_name is not configured explicitly, the operator tries to use the attribute is-default-class=True to find the default storage class.
If the operator fails to locate the storage class, then the following error is reported:
The system is unable to locate StorageClassThis process is suitable for local development, but for production usage we suggest that you create StorageClass manually. Please check your environment for more details: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/storage-classes/
You can check the available storage classes by using kubectl get sc and then set the appropriate storage class inside ignite.yaml using:
...
storage_class_name: "standard"
...And then apply the changes:
kubectl apply -f ignite_config.yaml -n <operator-namespace>cluster_image
The default cluster image is "gridgain/community:latest"`. For GridGain images, changing the value triggers a rolling upgrade procedure. For Apache Ignite, the pods are deleted and re-created.
number_of_nodes
The number of pods in the cluster, the default value is 2.
option_libs
Defines which modules should be included in the classpath at startup.
Default value: "ignite-kubernetes,ignite-rest-http,ignite-opencensus,control-center-agent"`
Please refer to Enabling Modules section for the details.
jvm_opts
JVM arguments passed to the GridGain instance, with a default value of "-DIGNITE_WAL_MMAP=false -DIGNITE_WAIT_FOR_BACKUPS_ON_SHUTDOWN=true"`
Please refer to Environment Variables section for the details.
Storage Configuration
- If
persistentmode is in use, the following values are required. This requirement is ignored for in-memory cluster configuration. All values are in gigabytes -
-
work_volume_size: 1, size of the work directory -
pds_volume_size: 1, size of the pds volume -
wal_volume_size: 1, size of the WAL volume -
wal_archive_volume_size: 1, size of the WAL archive
-
Please refer to the Configuration Properties section for details.
IgniteConfig Resource
This custom resource is responsible for managing internal cluster configuration through the embedded XML configuration file. Please refer to GridGain configuration docs for details.
To create a resource, use the following command:
kubectl apply -f ignite_config.yamlCluster Configuration
You can modify GridGain or Apache Ignite configuration by changing yaml’s gridgian_conf section:
apiVersion: gridgain.com/v1
kind: IgniteConfig
metadata:
name: ignite-custom-config
spec:
gridgian_conf: |-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</beans>The configuration above contains two placeholders — <namespace>` and <cluster_name> — for k8s IP finder. These placeholders are replaced with the namespace and cluster_name values of Ignite Custom Resource. See Custom Resources Configuration. for details.
Licensing
If you use GridGain Enterprise or Ultimate edition, you can provide a license file with license parameter:
apiVersion: gridgain.com/v1
kind: IgniteConfig
metadata:
name: ignite-custom-config
spec:
gridgian_conf: |- <XML_CONFIG>
...
license: |-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<gridgain-license version="2.1">
<id>a1aef789-9edc-41a6-b00d-e000a000e0a1</id>
<maintenance-time>0</maintenance-time>
<expire-date>01/01/2022</expire-date>
<max-nodes>10</max-nodes>
<max-cpus>80</max-cpus>
<max-computers>0</max-computers>
<grace-period>0</grace-period>
<max-uptime>0</max-uptime>
<signature>SIGN</signature>
<enabled-feature name="ultimate"/>
</gridgain-license>When applied, Gridgain Operator creates a /opt/gridgain/gridgain-license.xml file.
To provide a new license, replace the current license with the new one. Operator restarts your pods automatically.
Init Container
To use an init container, add the appropriate definitions.
For example:
...
init_container_image: busybox
init_container_command: "'sh', '-c', echo \"hello there\""
...The operator adjusts the K8 yaml config to include an init container when the init container image is in the custom resource.
Cluster Termination
To remove the previously deployed cluster and clean resources, remove Ignite custom resource:
