Interface IDataStreamer<TK, TV>

Data streamer loads data efficiently into cache. Updates are buffered and mapped to primary nodes to ensure minimal data movement and optimal resource utilization.

Note that streamer loads data to remote nodes in parallel, so cache updates can be reordered.

Also note that IDataStreamer is not the only way to load data into cache. Alternatively you can use LoadCache(Action<TK, TV>, Object[]) method to load data from underlying data store. You can also use standard cache put and putAll operations as well, but they most likely will not perform as well as this class for loading data. And finally, data can be loaded from underlying data store on demand, whenever it is accessed - for this no explicit data loading step is needed.

IDataStreamer supports the following configuration properties:

  • PerNodeBufferSizeWhen entries are added to data streamer they are not sent to Ignite right away and are buffered internally for better performance and network utilization. This setting controls the size of internal per-node buffer before buffered data is sent to remote node. Default value is 1024.
  • PerThreadBufferSizeWhen entries are added to data streamer they are not sent to Ignite right away and are buffered internally on per thread basis for better performance and network utilization. This setting controls the size of internal per-thread buffer before buffered data is sent to remote node. Default value is 4096.
  • PerNodeParallelOperationsSometimes data may be added to the data streamer faster than it can be put in cache. In this case, new buffered load messages are sent to remote nodes before responses from previous ones are received. This could cause unlimited heap memory utilization growth on local and remote nodes. To control memory utilization, this setting limits maximum allowed number of parallel buffered load messages that are being processed on remote nodes. If this number is exceeded, then data streamer add/remove methods will block to control memory utilization. Default value is 16.
  • AutoFlushFrequencyAutomatic flush frequency in milliseconds. Essentially, this is the time after which the streamer will make an attempt to submit all data added so far to remote nodes. Note that there is no guarantee that data will be delivered after this concrete attempt (e.g., it can fail when topology is changing), but it won't be lost anyway. Disabled by default (default value is 0).
  • IsolatedDefines if data streamer will assume that there are no other concurrent updates and allow data streamer choose most optimal concurrent implementation. Default value is false.

All members are thread-safe and may be used concurrently from multiple threads.

Properties

AllowOverwrite

Gets or sets a value indicating whether existing values can be overwritten by the data streamer. Performance is better when this flag is false.

NOTE: When false, cache updates won't be propagated to cache store (even if SkipStore is false).

Default is false.

Declaration
bool AllowOverwrite { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean

AutoFlushFrequency

Gets or sets the automatic flush frequency, in milliseconds. Data streamer buffers the data for performance reasons. The buffer is flushed in the following cases:

If set to 0, automatic flush is disabled.

Default is 0 (disabled).

Declaration
long AutoFlushFrequency { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Int64

AutoFlushInterval

Gets or sets the automatic flush interval. Data streamer buffers the data for performance reasons. The buffer is flushed in the following cases:

When set to , automatic flush is disabled.

Default is (disabled).

Declaration
TimeSpan AutoFlushInterval { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
TimeSpan

CacheName

Name of the cache to load data to.

Declaration
string CacheName { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.String

PerNodeBufferSize

Size of per node key-value pairs buffer.

Setter must be called before any add/remove operation.

Default is DefaultPerNodeBufferSize.

Declaration
int PerNodeBufferSize { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Int32

PerNodeParallelOperations

Maximum number of parallel load operations for a single node.

Setter must be called before any add/remove operation.

Default is 0, which means Ignite calculates this automatically as DataStreamerThreadPoolSize * DefaultParallelOperationsMultiplier.

Declaration
int PerNodeParallelOperations { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Int32

PerThreadBufferSize

Size of per thread key-value pairs buffer.

Setter must be called before any add/remove operation.

Default is DefaultPerThreadBufferSize.

Declaration
int PerThreadBufferSize { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Int32

Receiver

Gets or sets custom stream receiver.

Declaration
IStreamReceiver<TK, TV> Receiver { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
IStreamReceiver<TK, TV>

SkipStore

Flag indicating that write-through behavior should be disabled for data loading.

AllowOverwrite must be true for write-through to work.

Default is false.

Declaration
bool SkipStore { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean

Task

Gets the task for this loading process. This task completes whenever method Close(Boolean) completes.

Declaration
Task Task { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
Task

Timeout

Gets or sets the timeout. Negative values mean no timeout. Default is DefaultTimeout.

Timeout is used in the following cases:

  • Any data addition method can be blocked when all per node parallel operations are exhausted. The timeout defines the max time you will be blocked waiting for a permit to add a chunk of data into the streamer;
  • Total timeout time for Flush() operation;
  • Total timeout time for Close(Boolean) operation.

    • Declaration
    TimeSpan Timeout { get; set; }
    Property Value
    Type Description
    TimeSpan
