Anji, Daemon node means that most of the components for this node is disabled, and it is also not publicly visible as a part of topology. The only use case for it I can think of is some kind of monitoring tool which connects to cluster and silently gathers metrics information. Visor uses exact this approach, for example.
I believe this all is not applicable to what you're trying to achieve though. In your case I would just use tools available in OS to run a process in background (like nohup in Linux, for example). -Val -- Sent from: http://apache-ignite-users.70518.x6.nabble.com/
