2.1. Creating and Managing Caches Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Create and manage Data Grid caches and perform operations on data.
2.1.1. Creating Caches Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Create named caches across Data Grid clusters with POST requests that include XML or JSON configuration in the payload.
POST /rest/v2/caches/{cacheName}
POST /rest/v2/caches/{cacheName}
| Header | Required or Optional | Parameter |
|---|---|---|
|
| REQUIRED |
Sets the MediaType for the Data Grid configuration payload; either |
|
| OPTIONAL | Used to set AdminFlags |
2.1.1.1. XML Configuration Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Data Grid configuration in XML format must conform to the schema and include:
-
<infinispan>root element. -
<cache-container>definition.
Example XML Configuration
2.1.1.2. JSON Configuration Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Data Grid 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
2.1.2. Verifying Caches Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Check if caches are available in Data Grid clusters with HEAD requests.
HEAD /rest/v2/caches/{cacheName}
HEAD /rest/v2/caches/{cacheName}
2.1.3. Creating Caches with Templates Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Create caches from Data Grid templates with POST requests and the ?template= parameter.
POST /rest/v2/caches/{cacheName}?template={templateName}
POST /rest/v2/caches/{cacheName}?template={templateName}
2.1.4. Retrieving Cache Configuration Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Retrieve Data Grid cache configurations with GET requests.
GET /rest/v2/caches/{name}?action=config
GET /rest/v2/caches/{name}?action=config
| Header | Required or Optional | Parameter |
|---|---|---|
|
| OPTIONAL |
Sets the required format to return content. Supported formats are |
2.1.5. Converting Cache Configurations to JSON Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Invoke a POST request with valid XML configuration and the ?action=toJSON parameter. Data Grid responds with the equivalent JSON representation of the configuration.
POST /rest/v2/caches?action=toJSON
POST /rest/v2/caches?action=toJSON
2.1.6. Retrieving All Cache Details Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Invoke a GET request to retreive all details for Data Grid caches.
GET /rest/v2/caches/{name}
GET /rest/v2/caches/{name}
Data Grid provides a JSON response such as the following:
-
statscurrent stats of the cache. -
sizethe estimated size for the cache. -
configurationthe cache configuration. -
rehash_in_progresstrue when a rehashing is in progress. -
indexing_in_progresstrue when indexing is in progress. -
boundedwhen expiration is enabled. -
indexedtrue if the cache is indexed. -
persistenttrue if the cache is persisted. -
transactionaltrue if the cache is transactional. -
securedtrue if the cache is secured. -
has_remote_backuptrue if the cache has remote backups.
2.1.7. Adding Entries Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Add entries to caches with POST requests.
POST /rest/v2/caches/{cacheName}/{cacheKey}
POST /rest/v2/caches/{cacheName}/{cacheKey}
The preceding request places the payload, or request body, in the cacheName cache with the cacheKey key. The request replaces any data that already exists and updates the Time-To-Live and Last-Modified values, if they apply.
If a value already exists for the specified key, the POST request returns an HTTP CONFLICT status and does not modify the value. To update values, you should use PUT requests. See Replacing Entries.
| Header | Required or Optional | Parameter |
|---|---|---|
|
| OPTIONAL | Sets the content type for the key in the request. See Key-Content-Type for more information. |
|
| OPTIONAL | Sets the MediaType of the value for the key. |
|
| OPTIONAL | Sets the number of seconds before the entry is automatically deleted. If you do not set this parameter, Data Grid uses the default value from the configuration. If you set a negative value, the entry is never deleted. |
|
| OPTIONAL | Sets the number of seconds that entries can be idle. If a read or write operation does not occur for an entry after the maximum idle time elapses, the entry is automatically deleted. If you do not set this parameter, Data Grid uses the default value from the configuration. If you set a negative value, the entry is never deleted. |
|
| OPTIONAL | The flags used to add the entry. See Flag for more information. |
The flags header also applies to all other operations involving data manipulation on the cache,
If both timeToLiveSeconds and maxIdleTimeSeconds have a value of 0, Data Grid uses the default lifespan and maxIdle values from the configuration.
If only maxIdleTimeSeconds has a value of 0, Data Grid uses:
-
the default
maxIdlevalue from the configuration. -
the value for
timeToLiveSecondsthat you pass as a request parameter or a value of-1if you do not pass a value.
If only timeToLiveSeconds has a value of 0, Data Grid uses:
-
the default
lifespanvalue from the configuration. -
the value for
maxIdlethat you pass as a request parameter or a value of-1if you do not pass a value.
2.1.8. Replacing Entries Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Replace entries in caches with PUT requests.
PUT /rest/v2/caches/{cacheName}/{cacheKey}
PUT /rest/v2/caches/{cacheName}/{cacheKey}
If a value already exists for the specified key, the PUT request updates the value. If you do not want to modify existing values, use POST requests that return HTTP CONFLICT status instead of modifying values. See Adding Values.
2.1.9. Retrieving Data By Keys Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Retrieve data for specific keys with GET requests.
GET /rest/v2/caches/{cacheName}/{cacheKey}
GET /rest/v2/caches/{cacheName}/{cacheKey}
The server returns data from the given cache, cacheName, under the given key, cacheKey, in the response body. Responses contain Content-Type headers that correspond to the MediaType negotiation.
Browsers can also access caches directly, for example as a content delivery network (CDN). Data Grid returns a unique ETag for each entry along with the Last-Modified and Expires header fields.
These fields provide information about the state of the data that is returned in your request. ETags allow browsers and other clients to request only data that has changed, which conserves bandwidth.
| Header | Required or Optional | Parameter |
|---|---|---|
|
| OPTIONAL |
Sets the content type for the key in the request. The default is |
|
| OPTIONAL | Sets the required format to return content. See Accept for more information. |
Append the extended parameter to the query string to get additional information:
GET /rest/v2/caches/{cacheName}/{cacheKey}?extended
GET /rest/v2/caches/{cacheName}/{cacheKey}?extended
The preceding request returns custom headers:
-
Cluster-Primary-Ownerreturns the node name that is the primary owner of the key. -
Cluster-Node-Namereturns the JGroups node name of the server that handled the request. -
Cluster-Physical-Addressreturns the physical JGroups address of the server that handled the request.
2.1.10. Checking if Entries Exist Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Verify that specific entries exists with HEAD requests.
HEAD /rest/v2/caches/{cacheName}/{cacheKey}
HEAD /rest/v2/caches/{cacheName}/{cacheKey}
The preceding request returns only the header fields and the same content that you stored with the entry. For example, if you stored a String, the request returns a String. If you stored binary, base64-encoded, blobs or serialized Java objects, Data Grid does not de-serialize the content in the request.
HEAD requests also support the extended parameter.
| Header | Required or Optional | Parameter |
|---|---|---|

Chapter 3. Data Grid REST Endpoint Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Data Grid servers provide RESTful HTTP access to data through a REST endpoint built on Netty.
3.1. REST Authentication Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Configure authentication to the REST endpoint with the bin/user-tool.sh script in the Data Grid server distribution.
3.2. Supported Protocols Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
The Data Grid REST endpoint supports HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 protocols.
You can do either of the following to use HTTP/2:
- Perform an HTTP/1.1 upgrade.
- Negotiate the communication protocol using a TLS/ALPN extension.
TLS/ALPN with JDK8 requires additional client configuration. Refer to the appropriate documentation for your REST client. In most cases you need to use either the Jetty ALPN Agent or OpenSSL bindings.
3.3. Data Formats and the REST API Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Data Grid caches store data in formats that you can define with a MediaType.
The following example configures storage format for entries:
If you do not configure a MediaType, Data Grid defaults to application/octet-stream for both keys and values. However, if the cache is indexed, Data Grid defaults to application/x-protostream.
3.3.1. Supported Formats Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
You can write and read data in different formats and Data Grid can convert between those formats when required.
The following "standard" formats are interchangeable:
- application/x-java-object
- application/octet-stream
- application/x-www-form-urlencoded
- text/plain
You can also convert the preceding data formats into the following formats:
- application/xml
- application/json
- application/x-jboss-marshalling
- application/x-protostream
- application/x-java-serialized
Data Grid also lets you convert between application/x-protostream and application/json.
All calls to the REST API can provide headers describing the content written or the required format of the content when reading. Data Grid supports the standard HTTP/1.1 headers "Content-Type" and "Accept" that are applied for values, plus the "Key-Content-Type" with similar effect for keys.
3.3.2. Accept Headers Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
The Data Grid REST endpoint is compliant with the RFC-2616 Accept header and negotiates the correct MediaType based on the conversions supported.
For example, send the following header when reading data:
Accept: text/plain;q=0.7, application/json;q=0.8, */*;q=0.6
Accept: text/plain;q=0.7, application/json;q=0.8, */*;q=0.6
The preceding header causes Data Grid to first return content in JSON format (higher priority 0.8). If it is not possible to convert the storage format to JSON, Data Grid attempts the next format of text/plain (second highest priority 0.7). Finally, Data Grid falls back to */*, which picks a suitable format based on the cache configuration.
3.3.3. Names with Special Characters Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
The creation of any REST resource requires a name that is part of the URL, and in case this name contains any special characters as defined in Section 2.2 of the RFC 3986 spec, it is necessary to encode it with the Percent encoding mechanism.
3.3.4. Key-Content-Type Headers Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Most REST API calls have the Key included in the URL. Data Grid assumes the Key is a java.lang.String when handling those calls, but you can use a specific header Key-Content-Type for keys in different formats.
Key-Content-Type Header Examples
- Specifying a byte[] Key as a Base64 string:
API call:
`PUT /my-cache/AQIDBDM=`
`PUT /my-cache/AQIDBDM=`
Headers:
Key-Content-Type: application/octet-stream
- Specifying a byte[] Key as a hexadecimal string:
API call:
GET /my-cache/0x01CA03042F
Headers:
Key-Content-Type: application/octet-stream; encoding=hex
Key-Content-Type: application/octet-stream; encoding=hex
- Specifying a double Key:
API call:
POST /my-cache/3.141456
Headers:
Key-Content-Type: application/x-java-object;type=java.lang.Double
Key-Content-Type: application/x-java-object;type=java.lang.Double
The type parameter for application/x-java-object is restricted to:
- Primitive wrapper types
- java.lang.String
- Bytes, making application/x-java-object;type=Bytes equivalent to application/octet-stream;encoding=hex
3.3.5. JSON/Protostream Conversion Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
When caches are indexed, or specifically configured to store application/x-protostream, you can send and receive JSON documents that are automatically converted to and from Protostream.
You must register a protobuf schema for the conversion to work.
To register protobuf schemas via REST, invoke a POST or PUT in the ___protobuf_metadata cache as in the following example:
curl -u user:password -X POST --data-binary @./schema.proto http://127.0.0.1:11222/rest/v2/caches/___protobuf_metadata/schema.proto
curl -u user:password -X POST --data-binary @./schema.proto http://127.0.0.1:11222/rest/v2/caches/___protobuf_metadata/schema.proto
When writing JSON documents, a special field _type must be present in the document to identity the protobuf Message that corresponds to the document.
For example, consider the following schema:
message Person {
required string name = 1;
required int32 age = 2;
}
message Person {
required string name = 1;
required int32 age = 2;
}
The corresponding JSON document is as follows:
{
"_type": "Person",
"name": "user1",
"age": 32
}
{
"_type": "Person",
"name": "user1",
"age": 32
}
3.4. Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) Requests Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
The Data Grid REST connector supports CORS, including preflight and rules based on the request origin.
The following shows an example REST connector configuration with CORS rules:
Data Grid evaluates CORS rules sequentially based on the "Origin" header set by the browser.
In the preceding example, if the origin is either "http://host1" or "https://host1", then the rule "restrict host1" applies. If the origin is different, then the next rule is tested.
Because the "allow ALL" rule permits all origins, any script that has an origin other than "http://host1" or "https://host1" can perform the allowed methods and use the supplied headers.
For information about configuring CORS rules, see the Data Grid Server Configuration Schema.
