| <p> |
| Apache Ignite® implements the shared-nothing architecture where all cluster nodes are equal |
| and there is no single point of failure or bottleneck. |
| Ignite does NOT have a component such as a master node or name node that is present in most |
| distributed systems. |
| </p> |
| <img class="img-responsive diagram-right" src="/images/svg-diagrams/ignite_cluster.svg" alt="Apache Ignite cluster diagram" /> |
| <p> |
| Ignite nodes discover each other automatically in your environment, and the cluster can be |
| scaled out or in easily. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Apache Ignite can run on bare metal, virtual machines, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud |
| environments. Technically there are no limitations in regards to deployment environments -- |
| since Ignite nodes can auto-discover each other via the TCP/IP interface, you can launch a |
| cluster anywhere. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <h2>Servers, Clients and Protocols</h2> |
| <p> |
| Ignite defines two types of nodes — servers and clients. |
| |
| A server node is the base computational and data storage unit. Typically, you start a single server |
| node per machine or container and it will scale vertically by utilizing all of the CPU, RAM, and other |
| resources available unless specified differently. These resources are pooled and become available to |
| Ignite applications once the server node joins the cluster of other server nodes. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| A cluster is a group of server nodes interconnected together in order to provide shared resources |
| like RAM and CPU to your applications. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Client nodes (aka. thick clients) are your connection endpoints and gateways from the application layer |
| to the cluster of server nodes. You always embed a client into your application code and execute the |
| required APIs. The clients shield all the complexity of Ignite’s distributed nature from application |
| developers who will see the cluster as a single unit. It’s as simple as connecting to an RDBMS via a |
| JDBC driver or Spring Data framework. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| In addition to the thick clients, you can access the cluster with Ignite thin clients, |
| JDBC and ODBC drivers, or the REST API. |
