Igniters, I am working on a project where users will use Ignite via a thin client protocol. The API will be Java and the client will have to support failover and encryption.
I know community already developed the thin client protocol and .NET bindings and is going to develop failover and encryption (I found backlog tickets addressing failover and encryption). Thus, the only missing part is Java bindings. Unless someone is already working on Java bindings, let us develop and contribute the thin client Java API to the Apache Ignite project. I believe many can benifit from it. There are two options to design the API: 1) implement existing interface like IgniteCache and throw UnsupportedOperationExcception if something is not supported 2) implement new interface and define only supported methods. The Community already discussed the options <http://apache-ignite-developers.2346864.n4.nabble.com/New-thin-client-and-interfaces-facades-td22023.html> decided to use the latter option 2 for .NET bindings so we will follow the same approach for the Java API. On the first phase we will implement the below data-only API. Let us know if you have comments. Thank you!
