Apache Ignite Client Spring Boot Autoconfigure Module
----------------------------------------

Apache Ignite Client Spring Boot Autoconfigure module provides autoconfiguration capabilities for Spring-boot based applications.

Features
---------------------------
This module provides the ability to integrate IgniteClient into you spring-boot application with zero(or minimal) configuration.

After you add this module as a dependency to your spring-boot application
IgniteClient will be configured and injected into BeanFactory.

Algorithm to configure Ignite is the following:
  1. If ClientConfiguration bean exists in the BeanFactory it will be used.
  2. If ClientConfiguration bean doesn't exist following rules are applied:
    2.1. Default ClientConfiguration configuration created.
    2.2. If IgniteClientConfigurer bean exists in BeanFactory it will be used to customize ClientConfiguration.
    2.3  Application properties applied to ClientConfiguration. Prefix for the properties is `ignite-client`.
