# Apache Ignite

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 distributed in-memory data grid + compute grid + ANSI SQL"**. 매 GridGain (2007) → Apache Ignite (2014, donated). 매 2026 modern stack 은 Ignite 2.16 (GA mid-2025) / Ignite 3.x (preview, 매 new architecture: RAFT-based, ANSI SQL-first, 매 GridGain 9 commercial). 매 Hazelcast / Redis 의 alternative — 매 SQL + ACID transactions 의 differentiator.

## 매 핵심

### 매 features
- **In-memory key-value cache** — partitioned (sharded) or replicated.
- **Distributed ANSI-99 SQL** — collocated joins, indexes, JDBC/ODBC.
- **ACID transactions** — pessimistic / optimistic, distributed two-phase commit.
- **Compute grid** — send code to data (Java/.NET/C++).
- **Service grid** — deploy stateful services across cluster.
- **Native persistence** — durable on-disk (since 2.1, 2017).
- **Streaming** — continuous queries, data streamer.

### 매 architecture
- **Topology**: server nodes + client/thin clients.
- **Affinity**: rendezvous hashing, partition-to-node assignment.
- **Backup**: synchronous/async backups per cache (RF=N).
- **Discovery**: TcpDiscoverySpi (multicast / static / Kubernetes / ZooKeeper).
- **Communication**: TcpCommunicationSpi.

### 매 응용
1. **Hot cache layer** — in front of Postgres/Oracle, sub-ms reads.
2. **Distributed SQL** — operational analytics across shards.
3. **Compute grid** — financial risk calc, ML feature scoring at data.
4. **Session storage** — JCache (JSR-107) compliant.

## 💻 패턴

### Cache config (Java)
```java
IgniteConfiguration cfg = new IgniteConfiguration();
CacheConfiguration<Long, Order> cc = new CacheConfiguration<>("orders");
cc.setCacheMode(CacheMode.PARTITIONED);
cc.setBackups(1);
cc.setAtomicityMode(CacheAtomicityMode.TRANSACTIONAL);
cc.setWriteSynchronizationMode(CacheWriteSynchronizationMode.PRIMARY_SYNC);
cc.setIndexedTypes(Long.class, Order.class);
cfg.setCacheConfiguration(cc);

Ignite ignite = Ignition.start(cfg);
IgniteCache<Long, Order> orders = ignite.cache("orders");
orders.put(1L, new Order(...));
```

### Distributed SQL
```java
SqlFieldsQuery q = new SqlFieldsQuery(
    "SELECT o.id, c.name FROM \"orders\".Order o " +
    "JOIN \"customers\".Customer c ON o.customerId = c.id " +
    "WHERE o.status = ?")
    .setArgs("paid");
try (var cur = orders.query(q)) {
    for (List<?> row : cur) System.out.println(row);
}
```

### Affinity collocation (cross-cache JOIN performance)
```java
@QuerySqlField(index = true)
private Long customerId;

// Affinity key — rows with same customerId on same node
@AffinityKeyMapped
private Long customerId;
// Now JOIN orders ↔ customers stays node-local
```

### Transaction (pessimistic, repeatable read)
```java
try (Transaction tx = ignite.transactions().txStart(
        TransactionConcurrency.PESSIMISTIC,
        TransactionIsolation.REPEATABLE_READ)) {
    Account from = accounts.get(fromId);
    Account to   = accounts.get(toId);
    if (from.balance < amount) throw new RuntimeException("INSUFFICIENT");
    from.balance -= amount; to.balance += amount;
    accounts.put(fromId, from);
    accounts.put(toId, to);
    tx.commit();
}
```

### Compute grid (broadcast)
```java
ignite.compute().broadcast(() -> {
    System.out.println("Hello from " + ignite.cluster().localNode().id());
});
// Send Lambda — Ignite peer-class-loads to all nodes
```

### Continuous query (CDC-like)
```java
ContinuousQuery<Long, Order> qry = new ContinuousQuery<>();
qry.setLocalListener(events -> {
    for (CacheEntryEvent<? extends Long, ? extends Order> e : events)
        System.out.println("Updated: " + e.getKey() + " → " + e.getValue());
});
qry.setRemoteFilterFactory(() -> e -> e.getValue().getStatus().equals("paid"));
orders.query(qry);
```

### Native persistence
```java
DataStorageConfiguration ds = new DataStorageConfiguration();
ds.getDefaultDataRegionConfiguration().setPersistenceEnabled(true);
ds.setStoragePath("/var/ignite/persistence");
cfg.setDataStorageConfiguration(ds);
// Restart-safe; in-memory speed + durability
ignite.cluster().state(ClusterState.ACTIVE);
```

### Thin client (lightweight, no peer-class-loading)
```java
ClientConfiguration cc = new ClientConfiguration().setAddresses("ignite:10800");
try (IgniteClient c = Ignition.startClient(cc)) {
    ClientCache<Long, Order> orders = c.getOrCreateCache("orders");
    orders.put(1L, new Order(...));
}
```

## 매 결정 기준
| 상황 | Tool |
|---|---|
| Pure key-value cache, simple | Redis |
| K-V + distributed events, JVM | Hazelcast |
| K-V + ANSI SQL + ACID + compute grid | Ignite |
| In-process cache | Caffeine |
| Cloud-native managed | ElastiCache / Memorystore / GridGain Cloud |

**기본값**: 매 Redis 매 simple cache, 매 Ignite 매 SQL+ACID+compute integrated, 매 Hazelcast 매 JVM-native event-driven.

## 🔗 Graph
- 부모: [[In-Memory Data Grid]] · [[Distributed Cache]]
- 변형: [[Hazelcast]] · [[GridGain]] · [[Redis Cluster]]
- 응용: [[Distributed SQL]] · [[Compute Grid]] · [[Service Grid]]
- Adjacent: [[JCache]] · [[Caffeine]] · [[Memcached]]

## 🤖 LLM 활용
**언제**: 매 sub-ms latency + SQL + ACID 의 simultaneous requirement, 매 compute-near-data, 매 JVM ecosystem.
**언제 X**: 매 simple cache only (Redis cheaper), 매 non-JVM stack (limited tooling), 매 small data (<10GB, single node fine).

## ❌ 안티패턴
- **No backups**: 매 node loss → data loss. 매 setBackups(≥1).
- **Cross-cache JOIN without affinity**: 매 network shuffle, 매 query 의 slow.
- **Synchronous replication everywhere**: 매 latency. 매 PRIMARY_SYNC + async backup balance.
- **Mixing partitioned + replicated joins carelessly**: 매 broadcast amplification.

## 🧪 검증 / 중복
- Verified (Apache Ignite docs 2.16, GridGain documentation, ASF Ignite 3.x roadmap).
- 신뢰도 A.
