| The technical documentation introduces you to the key capabilities, shows how to use certain features of |
| the current Apache Ignite version. |
| |
| NOTE: Though this alpha release version does not support most of the Apache Ignite functionality, |
| it introduces several new features, which are to be accompanied with other improvements from the link:https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IGNITE/Proposals+for+Ignite+3.0[Ignite Enhancement Proposal,window=_blank] list. |
| |
| This alpha version of Apache Ignite, incorporating all the best solutions over the past years, |
| possesses the highest level of usability thanks to the following improvements: |
| |
| * Schema-first approach: This feature introduces one-to-one mapping between data schemas and caches/tables, |
| which means that the schema is defined for a cache/table before its creation. |
| |
| * Unified Configuration: This feature is presented by a set of the following improvements: |
| |
| - Platform-agnostic configuration representation |
| - Clear separation between configuration and any third-party code |
| - Predictable configuration lifecycle |
| - Consistent runtime configuration change support |
| |
| * Ignite CLI tool: This tool functions as a single sign-on for any operational, management, and development needs. |
