Red Hat SummitChapter 8. Run a Red Hat JBoss Data Grid as a Node without Endpoints
Services send messages using channels to communicate with each other. An endpoint is a communications point for these services and is used to send and receive the messages sent through the channels. As a result, a node with no endpoints can communicate with other nodes in the same cluster, but not with clients.
8.1. Benefits of a Node Without Endpoints
The primary benefit for creating a node without endpoints in Red Hat JBoss Data Grid involves data replication.
A node without any endpoints cannot be accessed by the client directly. As a result, they are primarily used to replicate data from other nodes that can communicate with clients. The result is a node with a backup copy of the data that cannot be accessed by the client, which protects it from failure via an error sent by the client.
