Operator 0.2.1 out with DNS ping and expanded customizations

We’ve just completed the release of the Infinispan Operator version 0.2.1. In this second minor release, we’ve added the following features:

DNS Cluster Discovery

Cluster nodes now discover each other using DNS ping, which uses name lookups. Each node publishes a headless service which they use to locate each other. Previously, Kubernetes APIs were queried to discover other nodes, but this required administrator rights. DNS ping does not require admin permissions.

Configurable Image

The Infinispan server image used by the operator is now configurable, e.g.

Configurable XML

You can now provide their own custom Infinispan server XML referencing an existing ConfigMap:

Note that this example requires a ConfigMap with the XML file to be created before hand.

Next Steps

We’re already working on version 0.3.0, and in parallel we’ve been working on our first OperatorHub submission. We hope to have some news for you very soon :)

Cheers, Galder

Triple cachestore release: Cloud, MongoDB and Cassandra

Today we present to you a trifecta of cache store releases which align to Infinispan 9.x

Cassandra Cache Store

The Cassandra cache store now implements the publishEntries/publishKeys methods.

Cloud Cache Store

The Cloud cache store uses the Apache jclouds library to store data on cloud storage providers such as Amazon’s S3, Rackspace’s Cloudfiles or any other such provider supported by JClouds. The store has been updated to Infinispan 9.x’s persistence SPI and uses jclouds 2.1.x

MongoDB Cache Store

This cache store has also been updated to the Infinispan 9.x persistence SPI.

You can get documentation and maven coordinates from our Cache Store page

First OpenShift Operator pre-release for Infinispan is here!

Infinispan Operator is a new method of packaging, deploying and managing Infinispan clusters on OpenShift. You can think of the Infinispan Operator as the runtime that manages Infinispan clusters on OpenShift.

We’ve just done our first Infinispan Operator pre-release, version 0.1.0, which allows you to easily boot up an Infinispan cluster on OpenShift.

Using the operator is as simple as installing the Infinispan Operator (requires admin access) on OpenShift, and then create a YAML descriptor that defines the Infinispan cluster. The example below shows how to create a 3-node Infinispan cluster:

And then call:

$ oc apply -f example-infinispan.yaml

A more detailed tutorial on using the Infinispan Operator can be found here. We highly recommend you give it a go and let us know what you think.

Over the next few versions we’ll be adding more features that make the most of the capabilities the Operator framework offers to automatically manage the health and status of running Infinispan clusters.

Please also note that as we work towards the 1.0 release, some things might change :)

Cheers Galder

The road to Infinispan 10 (Alpha1)

Dear all,

Today we are releasing 10.0.0.Alpha1 and 9.4.2.Final.

Infinispan 9.4.2.Final comes with a number of bug fixes and some small additional features:

  • ISPN-9655 REST Access Log headers

  • ISPN-8144 & ISPN-9661 Cross-Site replication statistics

  • ISPN-9708 Expose the executor services through JMX

  • ISPN-9732 Local iteration optimization with write behind is valid for non shared stores

  • ISPN-9717 Fix Integer overflow for lifespan and maxIdle

We have begun working on what will become Infinispan 10. As with all new major releases, this will come with a number of important changes.

  • New Server We are working on a new lightweight server, currently dubbed ServerNG, which will supersede the current WildFly-based offering. The new server will have a smaller disk and memory footprint, a new RESTful admin interface, improved security. It will still use familiar components (Elytron for security, Narayana for transactions, etc) but we hope that the installation and usability experience will be most improved. A dedicated blog post will describe in detail what is coming.

  • Long-term Storage Format The persistent storage format will be changed so that it will be easier to transparently make changes to it without requiring further exporters/importers.

  • Non-blocking listeners The listener implementation will be replaced with a non-blocking implementation.

  • Asynchronous CacheLoader/Store Store operations will be ran in another thread to provide non blocking for main threads

  • Improved statistics Infinispan statistics have been traditionally over-simplistic, offering mostly basic averages for writes and reads. We are going to implement percentiles on a histogram as well as recording tracing information so that you will be able to know how much time is being spent in the various subsystems (clustering, persistence, etc.)

  • New API The current Infinispan API, based around Java’s ConcurrentHashMap design, does not offer the flexibility required to support modern reactive designs as well as the various extensions we’ve added over the years (counters, multimaps, etc). We are therefore working on a new modern API design which we will be describing with a number of blog posts in the near future.

  • Agroal JDBC Connection Pool We are replacing the JDBC connection pool implementation with Agroal.

  • Kubernetes Operators Operators are all the rage in the Kubernetes world, and we are working on an Infinispan Operator which will take care of managing and monitoring the health of an Infinispan cluster, handle scale up/scale down safely, perform upgrades and more.

Infinispan 10.0.0.Alpha1 is the first release from our development branch. It currently includes the following features on top of what is in 9.4.2.Final:
