The following technologies were used in this example:

  1. Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.8
  2. Apache Ignite 1.5.0-b1
  3. Maven 3.1.1
  4. IntelliJ IDEA 15 CE

Note: JDK 1.7 or above is required.

1. Download and Install Ignite

Download the latest binary distribution from the Apache Ignite website and extract the resulting .zip file to a location of your choice:

$ unzip apache-ignite-fabric-1.5.0-b1-bin.zip
$ cd apache-ignite-fabric-1.5.0-b1-bin

2. Set Environment Variable (Optional)

Set IGNITE_HOME environment variable to point to the installation folder and make sure there is no trailing / in the path. On my Mac, I have set this environment variable in .bash_profile file, like so:

export IGNITE_HOME=<path-to-ignite-installation-folder>

3. Start Ignite Cluster

Start a node using bin/ignite.sh command and specify an example configuration file provided in the Ignite installation:

$ bin/ignite.sh examples/config/example-ignite.xml

If the installation was successful, your Ignite node startup message should look like this:

I have started one more node in another terminal, by repeating the above command (in step 3).

I now have an Ignite cluster setup with two server nodes running. You can start as many nodes as you like. Ignite will automatically discover all the nodes.

4. Add Ignite Maven Dependency

Add the following Ignite dependencies in your project’s pom.xml file:

<dependency>
    <groupid>org.apache.ignite</groupid>
    <artifactid>ignite-core</artifactid>
    <version>1.5.0-b1</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupid>org.apache.ignite</groupid>
    <artifactid>ignite-spring</artifactid>
    <version>1.5.0-b1</version>
</dependency>

5. HelloWorld.java

Here is a sample HelloWord.java file that prints ‘Hello World’ on all the nodes in the cluster.

import org.apache.ignite.Ignite;
import org.apache.ignite.IgniteException;
import org.apache.ignite.Ignition;

public class HelloWorld {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IgniteException {
    try (Ignite ignite = Ignition.start("examples/config/example-ignite.xml")) {
      // Put values in cache.
      IgniteCache<Integer, String> cache = ignite.getOrCreateCache("myCache");

      cache.put(1, "Hello");
      cache.put(2, "World!");

      // Get values from cache
      // Broadcast 'Hello World' on all the nodes in the cluster.
      ignite.compute().broadcast(()->System.out.println(cache.get(1) + " " + cache.get(2)));
    }
  }
}

6. Project Structure

Review project directory structure:

7. Set VM Options in IDEA

Go to Run —> Edit Configurations —> VM options (under Configuration tab) and enter:

-DIGNITE_HOME=<path-to-Ignite-installation-folder>

This step is required only because we are trying to provide a relative path to the configuration file in our code (line #7). You can skip this step and provide an absolute path instead.

8. Output

Run HelloWorld.java. You will see ‘Hello World!’ printed on all three nodes. 

On IDEA console:
