Using the Infinispan Command Line Interface

1. Getting Started with the Infinispan CLI

The command line interface (CLI) lets you remotely connect to Infinispan servers to access data and perform administrative functions.

1.1. Creating and Modifying Users

Infinispan Server requires users to authenticate against a default property realm. Before you can access Infinispan Server, you must add credentials by creating at least one user and a password. You can also add and modify the security authorization groups to which users belong.

Procedure

Open a terminal in $ISPN_HOME.
Create and modify Infinispan users with the user command.

Run help user for more details about using the command.

Creating users and passwords

Linux

$ bin/cli.sh user create myuser -p "qwer1234!"

Microsoft Windows

$ bin\cli.bat user create myuser -p "qwer1234!"

Creating users with group membership

Linux

$ bin/cli.sh user create myuser -p "qwer1234!" -g supervisor,reader,writer

Microsoft Windows

$ bin\cli.bat user create myuser -p "qwer1234!" -g supervisor,reader,writer

1.2. Connecting to Infinispan Servers

Establish CLI connections to Infinispan.

Prerequisites

Add user credentials and have at least one running Infinispan server instance.

Procedure

Open a terminal in $ISPN_HOME.
Start the CLI.
- Linux:
  $ bin/cli.sh
- Microsoft Windows:
  $ bin\cli.bat
Run the connect command and enter your username and password when prompted.
- Infinispan Server on the default port of 11222:
  [disconnected]> connect
- Infinispan Server with a port offset of 100:
  [disconnected]> connect 127.0.0.1:11322

1.3. Navigating CLI Resources

The Infinispan CLI exposes a navigable tree that allows you to list, describe, and manipulate Infinispan cluster resources.

Press the tab key to display available commands and options. Use the -h option to display help text.

When you connect to a Infinispan cluster, it opens in the context of the default cache container.

[//containers/default]>

Use ls to list resources.

[//containers/default]> ls
caches
counters
configurations
schemas
tasks

Use cd to navigate the resource tree.

[//containers/default]> cd caches

Use describe to view information about resources.

[//containers/default]> describe
{
  "name" : "default",
  "version" : "xx.x.x-FINAL",
  "cluster_name" : "cluster",
  "coordinator" : true,
  "cache_configuration_names" : [ "org.infinispan.REPL_ASYNC", "___protobuf_metadata", "org.infinispan.DIST_SYNC", "org.infinispan.LOCAL", "org.infinispan.INVALIDATION_SYNC", "org.infinispan.REPL_SYNC", "org.infinispan.SCATTERED_SYNC", "org.infinispan.INVALIDATION_ASYNC", "org.infinispan.DIST_ASYNC" ],
  "physical_addresses" : "[192.0.2.0:7800]",
  "coordinator_address" : "<hostname>",
  "cache_manager_status" : "RUNNING",
  "created_cache_count" : "1",
  "running_cache_count" : "1",
  "node_address" : "<hostname>",
  "cluster_members" : [ "<hostname1>", "<hostname2>" ],
  "cluster_members_physical_addresses" : [ "192.0.2.0:7800", "192.0.2.0:7801" ],
  "cluster_size" : 2,
  "defined_caches" : [ {
    "name" : "mycache",
    "started" : true
  }, {
    "name" : "___protobuf_metadata",
    "started" : true
  } ]
}

1.3.1. CLI Resources

The Infinispan CLI exposes different resources to:

create, modify, and manage local or clustered caches.
perform administrative operations for Infinispan clusters.

Cache Resources

[//containers/default]> ls
caches
counters
configurations
schemas

caches: Infinispan cache instances. The default cache container is empty. Use the CLI to create caches from templates or infinispan.xml files.
counters: Strong or Weak counters that record the count of objects.
configurations: Infinispan configurations.
schemas: Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) schemas that structure data in the cache.
tasks: Remote tasks creating and managing Infinispan cache definitions.

Cluster Resources

[hostname@cluster/]> ls
containers
cluster
server

containers: Cache containers on the Infinispan cluster.
cluster: Lists Infinispan servers joined to the cluster.
server: Resources for managing and monitoring Infinispan servers.

1.4. Shutting Down Infinispan Server

Stop individually running servers or bring down clusters gracefully.

Procedure

Create a CLI connection to Infinispan.
Shut down Infinispan Server in one of the following ways:
- Stop all nodes in a cluster with the shutdown cluster command, for example:
  [//containers/default]> shutdown cluster
  This command saves cluster state to the data folder for each node in the cluster. If you use a cache store, the shutdown cluster command also persists all data in the cache.
- Stop individual server instances with the shutdown server command and the server hostname, for example:
  [//containers/default]> shutdown server <my_server01>

The shutdown server command does not wait for rebalancing operations to complete, which can lead to data loss if you specify multiple hostnames at the same time.

Run help shutdown for more details about using the command.

Verification

Infinispan logs the following messages when you shut down servers:

ISPN080002: Infinispan Server stopping
ISPN000080: Disconnecting JGroups channel cluster
ISPN000390: Persisted state, version=<$version> timestamp=YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS
ISPN080003: Infinispan Server stopped

1.4.1. Restarting Infinispan Clusters

When you bring Infinispan clusters back online after shutting them down, you should wait for the cluster to be available before adding or removing nodes or modifying cluster state.

If you shutdown clustered nodes with the shutdown server command, you must restart each server in reverse order.
For example, if you shutdown server1 and then shutdown server2, you should first start server2 and then start server1.

If you shutdown a cluster with the shutdown cluster command, clusters become fully operational only after all nodes rejoin.
You can restart nodes in any order but the cluster remains in DEGRADED state until all nodes that were joined before shutdown are running.

2. Performing Cache Operations with the Infinispan CLI

The command line interface (CLI) lets you remotely connect to Infinispan servers to access data and perform administrative functions.

2.1. Creating Caches with the Infinispan Command Line Interface (CLI)

Use the Infinispan CLI to add caches from templates or configuration files in XML or JSON format.

Prerequisites

Create a user and start at least one Infinispan server instance.

Procedure

Create a CLI connection to Infinispan.
Add cache definitions with the create cache command.
- Add a cache definition from an XML or JSON file with the --file option.
  [//containers/default]> create cache --file=configuration.xml mycache
- Add a cache definition from a template with the --template option.
  [//containers/default]> create cache --template=org.infinispan.DIST_SYNC mycache
  Press the tab key after the --template= argument to list available cache templates.
Verify the cache exists with the ls command.
```
[//containers/default]> ls caches
mycache
```
Retrieve the cache configuration with the describe command.
```
[//containers/default]> describe caches/mycache
```

Reference

2.1.1. XML Configuration

Infinispan configuration in XML format must conform to the schema and include:

<infinispan> root element.
<cache-container> definition.

Example XML Configuration

<infinispan>
    <cache-container>
        <distributed-cache name="myCache" mode="SYNC">
          <encoding media-type="application/x-protostream"/>
          <memory max-count="1000000" when-full="REMOVE"/>
        </distributed-cache>
    </cache-container>
</infinispan>

2.1.2. JSON Configuration

Infinispan configuration in JSON format:

Requires the cache definition only.
Must follow the structure of an XML configuration.
- XML elements become JSON objects.
- XML attributes become JSON fields.

Example JSON Configuration

{
  "distributed-cache": {
    "name": "myCache",
    "mode": "SYNC",
    "encoding": {
      "media-type": "application/x-protostream"
      },
    "memory": {
      "max-count": 1000000,
      "when-full": "REMOVE"
    }
  }
}

2.2. Adding Cache Entries

Create key:value pair entries in the data container.

Prerequisites

Create a Infinispan cache that can store your data.

Procedure

Create a CLI connection to Infinispan.
Add entries into your cache as follows:
- Use the put command from the context of a cache:
  [//containers/default/caches/mycache]> put hello world
- Use the --cache= with the put command:
  [//containers/default]> put --cache=mycache hello world

Use the get command to verify entries.

[//containers/default/caches/mycache]> get hello
world

2.3. Clearing Caches and Deleting Entries

Remove data from caches with the Infinispan CLI.

Procedure

Create a CLI connection to Infinispan.
Do one of the following:
- Delete all entries with the clearcache command.
  [//containers/default]> clearcache mycache
- Remove specific entries with the remove command.
  [//containers/default]> remove --cache=mycache hello

2.4. Deleting Caches

Drop caches to remove them and delete all data they contain.

Procedure

Create a CLI connection to Infinispan.

Remove caches with the drop command.

[//containers/default]> drop cache mycache

3. Performing Batch Operations

Process operations in groups, either interactively or using batch files.

Prerequisites

A running Infinispan cluster.

3.1. Performing Batch Operations with Files

Create files that contain a set of operations and then pass them to the Infinispan CLI.

Procedure

Create a file that contains a set of operations.

For example, create a file named batch that creates a cache named mybatch, adds two entries to the cache, and disconnects from the CLI.
```
$ cat > batch<<EOF
create cache --template=org.infinispan.DIST_SYNC mybatch
put --cache=mybatch hello world
put --cache=mybatch hola mundo
disconnect
EOF
```
Run the CLI and specify the file as input.
```
$ bin/cli.sh -c localhost:11222 -f batch
```

Create a new Infinispan CLI connection and verify mybatch.

[//containers/default]> ls caches
___protobuf_metadata
mybatch
[//containers/default]> ls caches/mybatch
hola
hello
[//containers/default]> disconnect
[disconnected]>

CLI batch files support system property expansion. Strings that use the ${property} format are replaced with the value of the property system property.

3.2. Performing Batch Operations Interactively

Use the standard input stream, stdin, to perform batch operations interactively.

Procedure

Start the Infinispan CLI in interactive mode.
```
$ bin/cli.sh -c localhost:11222 -f -
```
If you do not use the -c flag, you must run the connect command.

$ bin/cli.sh -f - connect

Run batch operations, for example:

create cache --template=org.infinispan.DIST_SYNC mybatch
put --cache=mybatch hello world
put --cache=mybatch hola mundo
disconnect
quit

Use echo to add commands in interactive mode.

The following example shows how to use echo describe to get cluster information:

$ echo describe|bin/cli.sh -c localhost:11222 -f -
{
  "name" : "default",
  "version" : "10.0.0-SNAPSHOT",
  "coordinator" : false,
  "cache_configuration_names" : [ "org.infinispan.REPL_ASYNC", "___protobuf_metadata", "org.infinispan.DIST_SYNC", "qcache", "org.infinispan.LOCAL", "dist_cache_01", "org.infinispan.INVALIDATION_SYNC", "org.infinispan.REPL_SYNC", "org.infinispan.SCATTERED_SYNC", "mycache", "org.infinispan.INVALIDATION_ASYNC", "mybatch", "org.infinispan.DIST_ASYNC" ],
  "cluster_name" : "cluster",
  "physical_addresses" : "[192.168.1.7:7800]",
  "coordinator_address" : "thundercat-34689",
  "cache_manager_status" : "RUNNING",
  "created_cache_count" : "4",
  "running_cache_count" : "4",
  "node_address" : "thundercat-47082",
  "cluster_members" : [ "thundercat-34689", "thundercat-47082" ],
  "cluster_members_physical_addresses" : [ "10.36.118.25:7801", "192.168.1.7:7800" ],
  "cluster_size" : 2,
  "defined_caches" : [ {
    "name" : "___protobuf_metadata",
    "started" : true
  }, {
    "name" : "mybatch",
    "started" : true
  } ]
}

4. Configuring the Infinispan CLI

Define configuration properties for the Infinispan CLI.

4.1. Setting Infinispan CLI Properties and Persistent Storage

Configure Infinispan CLI startup operations and customize the location for persistent storage.

Prerequisites

Create at least one Infinispan user.

Procedure

Optionally set a custom path to the Infinispan CLI storage directory in one of the following ways:
- Using the cli.dir system property:
  $ bin/cli.sh -Dcli.dir=/path/to/cli/storage ...
- Using the ISPN_CLI_DIR environment variable:
  export ISPN_CLI_DIR=/path/to/cli/storage $ bin/cli.sh ...
Set values for configuration properties with the config set command.
Verify configuration properties with the config get command.

Run help config to review available configuration properties and get example usage.

4.2. Creating Command Aliases

Create aliases for Infinispan CLI commands to define custom shortcuts.

Procedure

Create aliases with the alias <alias>=<command> command.

For example, set q as an alias for the quit command:
```
[//containers/default]> alias q=quit
```
Run the alias command to check the defined aliases.
```
[//containers/default]> alias
alias q='quit'
```
Delete aliases with the unalias command, for example:
```
[//containers/default]> unalias q
```

4.3. Trusting Infinispan Server Connections

Secure Infinispan CLI connections to Infinispan Server with SSL/TLS certificates. If you create a key store as an SSL identity for Infinispan Server, the CLI can validate server certificates to verify the identity.

Prerequisites

Set up an SSL identity for Infinispan Server.
Create at least one Infinispan user.

Procedure

Specify the location of the server key store, as in the following example:
```
$ bin/cli.sh config set truststore /home/user/my-trust-store.jks
```
Define the key store password, if necessary, as follows:
```
$ bin/cli.sh config set truststore-password secret
```

Verify your CLI configuration.

$ bin/cli.sh config get truststore
truststore=/home/user/my-trust-store.jks

$ bin/cli.sh config get truststore-password
truststore-password=secret

Reference

4.4. Infinispan CLI Storage Directory

Infinispan CLI stores configuration in the following default directory:

Operating System Default Path

Operating System	Default Path
Linux/Unix	`$HOME/.config/infinispan`
Microsoft Windows	`%APPDATA%/Sun/Java/infinispan`
Mac OS	`$HOME/Library/Java/infinispan`

Linux/Unix

$HOME/.config/infinispan

Microsoft Windows

%APPDATA%/Sun/Java/infinispan

Mac OS

$HOME/Library/Java/infinispan

This directory contains the following files:

cli.properties: Stores values for CLI configuration properties.
aliases: Stores command aliases.
history: Stores CLI history.

5. Working with Counters

Counters provide atomic increment and decrement operations that record the count of objects.

Prerequisites

Start the Infinispan CLI.
Connect to a running Infinispan cluster.

5.1. Creating Counters

Create strong and weak counters with the Infinispan CLI.

Procedure

Create a CLI connection to Infinispan.

Run the create counter command with the appropriate arguments.

Create my-weak-counter.

[//containers/default]> create counter --concurrency-level=1 --initial-value=5 --storage=PERSISTENT --type=weak my-weak-counter

Create my-strong-counter.

[//containers/default]> create counter --initial-value=3 --storage=PERSISTENT --type=strong my-strong-counter

List available counters.

[//containers/default]> ls counters
my-strong-counter
my-weak-counter

Verify counter configurations.

Describe my-weak-counter.

[//containers/default]> describe counters/my-weak-counter

{
    "weak-counter":{
        "initial-value":5,
        "storage":"PERSISTENT",
        "concurrency-level":1
    }
}

Describe my-strong-counter.

[//containers/default]> describe counters/my-strong-counter

{
    "strong-counter":{
        "initial-value":3,
        "storage":"PERSISTENT",
        "upper-bound":5
    }
}

5.2. Adding Deltas to Counters

Increment or decrement counters with arbitrary values.

Procedure

Select a counter.

[//containers/default]> counter my-weak-counter

List the current count.

[//containers/default/counters/my-weak-counter]> ls
5

Increment the counter value by 2.

[//containers/default/counters/my-weak-counter]> add --delta=2

Decrement the counter value by -4.

[//containers/default/counters/my-weak-counter]> add --delta=-4

Strong counters return values after the operation is applied. Use --quiet=true to hide the return value.

For example, my-strong-counter]> add --delta=3 --quiet=true.

Weak counters return empty responses.

6. Querying Caches with Protobuf Metadata

Infinispan supports using Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) to structure data in the cache so that you can query it.

Prerequisites

Start the Infinispan CLI.
Connect to a running Infinispan cluster.

6.1. Configuring Media Types

Encode cache entries with different media types to store data in a format that best suits your requirements.

For example, the following procedure shows you how to configure the application/x-protostream media type.

Procedure

Create a Infinispan configuration file that adds a distributed cache named qcache and configures the media type, for example:

<infinispan>
   <cache-container>
      <distributed-cache name="qcache">
         <encoding>
            <key media-type="application/x-protostream"/>
            <value media-type="application/x-protostream"/>
         </encoding>
      </distributed-cache>
   </cache-container>
</infinispan>

Create qcache from pcache.xml with the --file= option.

[//containers/default]> create cache --file=pcache.xml pcache

Verify pcache.

[//containers/default]> ls caches
pcache
___protobuf_metadata
[//containers/default]> describe caches/pcache
{
  "distributed-cache" : {
    "mode" : "SYNC",
    "encoding" : {
      "key" : {
        "media-type" : "application/x-protostream"
      },
      "value" : {
        "media-type" : "application/x-protostream"
      }
    },
    "transaction" : {
      "mode" : "NONE"
    }
  }
}

Add an entry to pcache and check the encoding.

[//containers/default]> put --cache=pcache good morning
[//containers/default]> cd caches/pcache
[//containers/default/caches/pcache]> get good
{
  "_type" : "string",
  "_value" : "morning"
}

6.2. Registering Protobuf Schemas

Protobuf schemas contain data structures known as messages in .proto definition files.

Procedure

Create a schema file named person.proto with the following messages:

package org.infinispan.rest.search.entity;

message Address {
    required string street = 1;
    required string postCode = 2;
}

message PhoneNumber {
    required string number = 1;
}

message Person {
    optional int32 id = 1;
    required string name = 2;
    required string surname = 3;
    optional Address address = 4;
    repeated PhoneNumber phoneNumbers = 5;
    optional uint32 age = 6;
    enum Gender {
        MALE = 0;
        FEMALE = 1;
    }

    optional Gender gender = 7;
}

[//containers/default]> schema --upload=person.proto person.proto

Verify person.proto.

[//containers/default]> cd caches/___protobuf_metadata
[//containers/default/caches/___protobuf_metadata]> ls
person.proto
[//containers/default/caches/___protobuf_metadata]> get person.proto

6.3. Querying Caches with Protobuf Schemas

Infinispan automatically converts JSON to Protobuf so that you can read and write cache entries in JSON format and use Protobuf schemas to query them.

For example, consider the following JSON documents:

lukecage.json

{
  "_type":"org.infinispan.rest.search.entity.Person",
  "id":2,
  "name":"Luke",
  "surname":"Cage",
  "gender":"MALE",
  "address":{"street":"38th St","postCode":"NY 11221"},
  "phoneNumbers":[{"number":4444},{"number":5555}]
}

jessicajones.json

{
  "_type":"org.infinispan.rest.search.entity.Person",
  "id":1,
  "name":"Jessica",
  "surname":"Jones",
  "gender":"FEMALE",
  "address":{"street":"46th St","postCode":"NY 10036"},
  "phoneNumbers":[{"number":1111},{"number":2222},{"number":3333}]
}

matthewmurdock.json

{
  "_type":"org.infinispan.rest.search.entity.Person",
  "id":3,
  "name":"Matthew",
  "surname":"Murdock",
  "gender":"MALE",
  "address":{"street":"57th St","postCode":"NY 10019"},
  "phoneNumbers":[]
}

Each of the preceding JSON documents contains:

A _type field that identifies the Protobuf message to which the JSON document corresponds.
Several fields that correspond to datatypes in the person.proto schema.

Procedure

Navigate to the pcache cache.

[//containers/default/caches]> cd pcache

Add each JSON document as an entry to the cache, for example:

[//containers/default/caches/pcache]> put --encoding=application/json --file=jessicajones.json jessicajones
[//containers/default/caches/pcache]> put --encoding=application/json --file=matthewmurdock.json matthewmurdock
[//containers/default/caches/pcache]> put --encoding=application/json --file=lukecage.json lukecage

Verify that the entries exist.

[//containers/default/caches/pcache]> ls
lukecage
matthewmurdock
jessicajones

Query the cache to return entries from the Protobuf Person entity where the gender datatype is MALE.

[//containers/default/caches/pcache]> query "from org.infinispan.rest.search.entity.Person p where p.gender = 'MALE'"
{
  "total_results" : 2,
  "hits" : [ {
    "hit" : {
      "_type" : "org.infinispan.rest.search.entity.Person",
      "id" : 2,
      "name" : "Luke",
      "surname" : "Cage",
      "gender" : "MALE",
      "address" : {
        "street" : "38th St",
        "postCode" : "NY 11221"
      },
      "phoneNumbers" : [ {
        "number" : "4444"
      }, {
        "number" : "5555"
      } ]
    }
  }, {
    "hit" : {
      "_type" : "org.infinispan.rest.search.entity.Person",
      "id" : 3,
      "name" : "Matthew",
      "surname" : "Murdock",
      "gender" : "MALE",
      "address" : {
        "street" : "57th St",
        "postCode" : "NY 10019"
      }
    }
  } ]
}

7. Performing Cross-Site Replication Operations

Infinispan clusters running in different locations can discover and communicate with each other to backup data.

Prerequisites

Start the Infinispan CLI.
Connect to a running Infinispan cluster.

7.1. Bringing Backup Locations Offline and Online

Take backup locations offline manually and bring them back online.

Procedure

Create a CLI connection to Infinispan.
Check if backup locations are online or offline with the site status command:
```
//containers/default]> site status --cache=cacheName --site=NYC
```
--site is an optional argument. If not set, the CLI returns all backup locations.
Manage backup locations as follows:
- Bring backup locations online with the bring-online command:
  //containers/default]> site bring-online --cache=customers --site=NYC
- Take backup locations offline with the take-offline command:
  //containers/default]> site take-offline --cache=customers --site=NYC

For more information and examples, run the help site command.

7.2. Pushing State to Backup Locations

Transfer cache state to remote backup locations.

Procedure

Create a CLI connection to Infinispan.

Use the site command to push state transfer, as in the following example:

//containers/default]> site push-site-state --cache=cacheName --site=NYC

For more information and examples, run the help site command.

8. Backing Up and Restoring Infinispan Clusters

Create archives of Infinispan resources that include cached entries, cache configurations, Protobuf schemas, and server scripts. You can then use the backup archives to restore Infinispan Server clusters after a restart or migration.

Prerequisites

Start the Infinispan CLI.
Connect to a running Infinispan cluster.

8.1. Backing Up Infinispan Clusters

Create backup archives in .zip format that you can download or store on Infinispan Server.

Prerequisites

Backup archives should reflect the most recent cluster state. For this reason you should ensure the cluster is no longer accepting write requests before you create backup archives.

Procedure

Create a CLI connection to Infinispan.
Run the backup create command with the appropriate options, for example:
- Back up all resources with an automatically generated name.
  [//containers/default]> backup create
- Back up all resources in a backup archive named example-backup.
  [//containers/default]> backup create -n example-backup
- Back up all resources to the /some/server/dir path on the server.
  [//containers/default]> backup create -d /some/server/dir
- Back up only caches and cache templates.
  [//containers/default]> backup create --caches=* --templates=*
- Back up named Protobuf schemas only.
  [//containers/default]> backup create --proto-schemas=schema1,schema2
List available backup archives on the server.
```
[//containers/default]> backup ls
```
Download the example-backup archive from the server.

If the backup operation is still in progress, the command waits for it to complete.
```
[//containers/default]> backup get example-backup
```
Optionally delete the example-backup archive from the server.
```
[//containers/default]> backup delete example-backup
```

8.2. Restoring Infinispan Clusters from Backup Archives

Apply the content of backup archives to Infinispan clusters to restore them to the backed up state.

Prerequisites

Create a backup archive that is either local to the Infinispan CLI or stored on Infinispan Server.
Ensure that the target container matches the container name in the backup archive. You cannot restore backups if the container names do not match.

Procedure

Create a CLI connection to Infinispan.
Run the backup restore command with the appropriate options.
- Restore all content from a backup archive accessible on the server.
  [//containers/default]> backup restore /some/path/on/the/server
- Restore all content from a local backup archive.
  [//containers/default]> backup restore -u /some/local/path
- Restore only cache content from a backup archive on the server.
  [//containers/default]> backup restore /some/path/on/the/server --caches=*

9. Command Reference

Review manual pages for Infinispan CLI commands.

Use help command to access manual pages directly from your CLI session.

For example, to view the manual page for the get command do the following:

$ help get
