GridGain 8.8.8 Release Notes

New Features

Improvements and Fixed Issues

Added Support for C++ Java Compute

You can now use the new Compute::ExecuteJavaTask method to execute Java compute tasks from C++ code by their names. For example:

Ignite ignite = Ignition::Get();
compute::Compute compute = ignite.GetCompute();

std::string echoValue = "Task returns this value";

std::string res = compute.ExecuteJavaTask<std::string>("my.company.MyEchoTask", echoValue);

assert(res == echoValue);

Added Support for Compute Tasks in C++ Thin Clients

Compute tasks can now be performed by using C++ thin clients. For example, here is how you can execute a newly added compute task on :

IgniteClient client = IgniteClient::Start();
compute::ComputeClient compute = ignite.GetCompute();

std::string echoValue = "Task returns this value";

std::string res = compute.ExecuteJavaTask<std::string>("my.company.MyEchoTask", echoValue);

assert(res == echoValue);

Added Support for Cache Templates in Hibernate L2

When working with Hibernate L2, you may want to use the same cache configuration for multiple caches. Now you can use preconfigured Cache Templates to apply the same configuration to multiple caches.

For example, the following configuration uses a single transactional-cache bean for multiple entities:

<bean parent="transactional-cache">
    <property name="name" value="com.mycompany.*"/>
</bean>

Implemented Page Replacement Algorithms

When the amount of data stored on disk is bigger than the off-heap memory amount allocated for the data region, another page should be removed from off-heap to the disk to preload an appropriate page to off-heap memory.

There are three available algorithms:

  • Random-LRU algorithm;

  • Segmented-LRU algorithm;

  • CLOCK algorithm.

By default, CLOCK algorithm is used.

Page replacement algorithm is configured by the PageReplacementMode property of DataRegionConfiguration.

<bean class="org.apache.ignite.configuration.IgniteConfiguration">
<!-- Memory configuration. -->
<property name="dataStorageConfiguration">
<bean class="org.apache.ignite.configuration.DataStorageConfiguration">
<property name="dataRegionConfigurations">
<list>
<!--
Defining a persistent data region with Segmented LRU page replacement mode.
-->
<bean class="org.apache.ignite.configuration.DataRegionConfiguration">
<!-- Data region name. -->
<property name="name" value="persistent_data_region"/>
<!-- Enable persistence. -->
<property name="persistenceEnabled" value="true"/>
<!-- 20 GB maximum size (RAM). -->
<property name="maxSize" value="#{20L * 1024 * 1024 * 1024}"/>
<!-- Enabling SEGMENTED_LRU page replacement for this region.  -->
<property name="pageReplacementMode" value="SEGMENTED_LRU"/>
</bean>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
</property>
<!-- The rest of the configuration. -->
</bean>
// Node configuration.
IgniteConfiguration cfg = new IgniteConfiguration();

// Memory configuration.
DataStorageConfiguration storageCfg = new DataStorageConfiguration();

// Creating a new data region.
DataRegionConfiguration regionCfg = new DataRegionConfiguration();

// Region name.
regionCfg.setName("persistent_data_region");

// Enabling persistence.
regionCfg.setPersistenceEnabled(true);

// 20 GB max size (RAM).
regionCfg.setMaxSize(20L * 1024 * 1024 * 1024);

// Enabling SEGMENTED_LRU page replacement for this region.
regionCfg.setPageReplacementMode(PageReplacementMode.SEGMENTED_LRU);

// Setting the data region configuration.
storageCfg.setDataRegionConfigurations(regionCfg);

// Applying the new configuration.
cfg.setDataStorageConfiguration(storageCfg);
This API is not presently available for C#/.NET. You can use XML configuration.
This API is not presently available for C++. You can use XML configuration.

Known Issues

Index Page Usage Metric is Incorrect

Index pages allocation metric is currently not being tracked correctly. This issue that will be fixed in the upcoming release.

GridGain May Crash when Using OpenJDK 11

In some rare environments, GridGain servers may crash with a SocketTimeoutException exception when running on OpenJDK 11. Consider using OpenJDK 8 or a different JDK provider instead.

Here is an example of the exception that can occur:

Exception in thread "main" java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Accept timed out
        at java.base/java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(Native Method)
        at java.base/java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.accept(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:458)
        at java.base/java.net.ServerSocket.implAccept(ServerSocket.java:565)
        at java.base/java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:533)
        at Example.main(Example.java:6)

You can track the status of this issue in openJDK issue tracker.

Known Limitations

Jetty Configuration Incompatibility in GridGain 8.7.21 and Later

If you are upgrading from version 8.7.20 or earlier, consider an incompatibility issue related to Jetty configuration introduced in GridGain 8.7.21.

Your setup may be affected if:

  • You use the ignite-rest-http module (e.g. to connect to GridGain Web Console)

  • You have a custom Jetty configuration that enables SSL for REST

  • Your Jetty configuration uses the org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory class

  • The keystore specified in the Jetty configuration contains both the CA certificate and the private certificate

In this case, after starting a new version, an exception is thrown with an error message similar to the following:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: KeyStores with multiple certificates are not supported on the base class
org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory. (Use org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory$Server
or org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory$Client instead)

To workaround this issue, alter the Jetty configuration to use org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory$Server or org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory$Client. See the configuration example at the Client Certificate Authentication page.

Default rebalanceThreadPoolSize in GridGain 8.7.26 and Later

In GridGain 8.7.26, the default value of the property IgniteConfiguration.rebalanceThreadPoolSize changed from 1 to min(4, number of CPU / 4). It may cause a compatibility issue under the following conditions:

  • When a Rolling Upgrade is performed

  • The upgrade is performed from 8.5.7 version (or earlier) to 8.5.x or from 8.7.3 (or earlier) to 8.7.x

  • The server nodes have at least 8 CPU cores

  • The nodes configuration does not have the property IgniteConfiguration.rebalanceThreadPoolSize, so the default value is used

In this case, an exception is thrown with an error message similar to the following:

сlass org.apache.ignite.IgniteException: Rebalance configuration mismatch (fix configuration or set -DIGNITE_SKIP_CONFIGURATION_CONSISTENCY_CHECK=true system property).
Different values of such parameter may lead to rebalance process instability and hanging.  [rmtNodeId=5fc58fb7-209d-489a-8034-0127a81abed6, locRebalanceThreadPoolSize = 4, rmtRebalanceThreadPoolSize = 1]

To workaround this issue, change the configuration of the server nodes to rebalanceThreadPoolSize=1 so that it matches the previous default configuration. For example:

<bean class="org.apache.ignite.configuration.IgniteConfiguration">
    <property name="rebalanceThreadPoolSize" value="1"/>

    <!-- The rest of the configuration goes here -->
</bean>

Jetty Doesn’t Accept Incorrect Configuration in GridGain 8.7.31 and Later

In GridGain 8.7.31 Jetty was upgraded to 9.4.33. Starting that version, Jetty has more strict validation of the provided configuration files. Before that version, an incorrectly spelled property in the configuration file had no effect. Starting this version, errors in the configuration will lead to an error on start.

Your setup may be affected if:

  • You use the ignite-rest-http module (e.g. to connect to GridGain Web Console)

  • You have a custom Jetty configuration for REST

  • The custom configuration has errors in it

You will need to fix the custom Jetty configuration before upgrading.

ignite.sh No Longer Enables Remote JMX by Default in GridGain 8.7.31 and Later

Starting from 8.7.31 version, GridGain no longer attempts to automatically enable the remote JMX. Default settings are known to cause issues if customized (for example, secure the connection). Also, in most cases, remote JMX is not required since many tools use local JMX connections (not using TCP).

Your setup may be affected if:

  • You start GridGain nodes via ignite.sh script

  • You connect to GridGain nodes' JMX interface remotely over TCP using the default configuration

To continue using remote JMX, you need to manually specify the required JMX settings. Please see the example below. Note that you don’t need remote JMX if you use a local connection, such as connecting JConsole to a GridGain process on the same host.

export JVM_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=33333 \
    -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false"
