Infinispan HotRod C++ Client Documentation

Hotrod is Infinispan's custom binary protocol that enables fast client/server interaction. The Hotrod C++ Client library provides API features that allow the developement of Infinispan based C++ applications.

A common hotrod session is as follows:

  1. Build a configuration
  2. Start the connection
  3. Use the cache
  4. Close the connection

Build a configuration

The application must configure an infinispan::hotrod::ConfigurationBuilder object with all the specific settings. A simple configuration could looks like this:

    infinispan::hotrod::ConfigurationBuilder builder;
    builder.addServer().host("127.0.0.1").port(11222);
    builder.protocolVersion(infinispan::hotrod::Configuration::PROTOCOL_VERSION_24);

Start the connection

Then an infinispan::hotrod::RemoteCacheManager can be created and started:

    RemoteCacheManager cacheManager(builder.build(), false);
    cacheManager.start();

and, if needed, a specific data marshalling policy could be setup:

Use the cache

All the cache operations are accessible via the infinispan::hotrod::RemoteCache class. This class also takes care of the (un)marshalling of the cache data, an infinispan::hotrod::JBasicMarshaller is instantiated by default, otherwise additional setup is required:

    JBasicMarshaller<int> *km = new JBasicMarshaller<int>();
    JBasicMarshaller<std::string> *vm = new JBasicMarshaller<std::string>();
    RemoteCache<int, std::string> cache = cacheManager.getCache<int, std::string>(km,
            &Marshaller<int>::destroy,
            vm,
            &Marshaller<std::string>::destroy);

    ... you can now do cache operations ...

Main categories of operation on the cache are:

Close the connection

Just clean up after yourself: this also stops all the registered listeners on the server.

    cacheManager.stop();
