Making open source more inclusive

Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases. For more details, see our CTO Chris Wright’s message.

Chapter 1. Getting Started with the Data Grid CLI

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

1.1. Creating and Modifying Users

Add Data Grid user credentials and assign permissions to control access to data.

Data Grid server installations use a property realm to authenticate users for the Hot Rod and REST endpoints. This means you need to create at least one user before you can access Data Grid.

By default, users also need roles with permissions to access caches and interact with Data Grid resources. You can assign roles to users individually or add users to groups that have role permissions.

You create users and assign roles with the user command in the Data Grid command line interface (CLI).

Tip

Run help user from a CLI session to get complete command details.

1.1.1. Adding Credentials

You need an admin user for the Data Grid Console and full control over your Data Grid environment. For this reason you should create a user with admin permissions the first time you add credentials.

Procedure

  1. Open a terminal in $RHDG_HOME.
  2. Create an admin user with the user create command in the CLI.

    $ bin/cli.sh user create myuser -p changeme -g admin

    Alternatively, the username "admin" automatically gets admin permissions.

    $ bin/cli.sh user create admin -p changeme
  3. Open user.properties and groups.properties with any text editor to verify users and groups.

    $ cat server/conf/users.properties
    
    #$REALM_NAME=default$
    #$ALGORITHM=encrypted$
    myuser=scram-sha-1\:BYGcIAwvf6b...
    
    $ cat server/conf/groups.properties
    
    myuser=admin

1.1.2. Assigning Roles to Users

Assign roles to users so they have the correct permissions to access data and modify Data Grid resources.

Procedure

  1. Start a CLI session with an admin user.

    $ bin/cli.sh
  2. Assign the deployer role to "katie".

    [//containers/default]> user roles grant --roles=deployer katie
  3. List roles for "katie".

    [//containers/default]> user roles ls katie
    ["deployer"]

1.1.3. Adding Users to Groups

Groups let you change permissions for multiple users. You assign a role to a group and then add users to that group. Users inherit permissions from the group role.

Procedure

  1. Start a CLI session with an admin user.
  2. Use the user create command to create a group.

    1. Specify "developers" as the group name with the --groups argument.
    2. Set a username and password for the group.

      In a property realm, a group is a special type of user that also requires a username and password.

      [//containers/default]> user create --groups=developers developers -p changeme
  3. List groups.

    [//containers/default]> user ls --groups
    ["developers"]
  4. Assign the application role to the "developers" group.

    [//containers/default]> user roles grant --roles=application developers
  5. List roles for the "developers" group.

    [//containers/default]> user roles ls developers
    ["application"]
  6. Add existing users, one at a time, to the group as required.

    [//containers/default]> user groups john --groups=developers

1.1.4. User Roles and Permissions

Data Grid includes a default set of roles that grant users with permissions to access data and interact with Data Grid resources.

ClusterRoleMapper is the default mechanism that Data Grid uses to associate security principals to authorization roles.

Important

ClusterRoleMapper matches principal names to role names. A user named admin gets admin permissions automatically, a user named deployer gets deployer permissions, and so on.

RolePermissionsDescription

admin

ALL

Superuser with all permissions including control of the Cache Manager lifecycle.

deployer

ALL_READ, ALL_WRITE, LISTEN, EXEC, MONITOR, CREATE

Can create and delete Data Grid resources in addition to application permissions.

application

ALL_READ, ALL_WRITE, LISTEN, EXEC, MONITOR

Has read and write access to Data Grid resources in addition to observer permissions. Can also listen to events and execute server tasks and scripts.

observer

ALL_READ, MONITOR

Has read access to Data Grid resources in addition to monitor permissions.

monitor

MONITOR

Can view statistics via JMX and the metrics endpoint.

1.2. Connecting to Data Grid Servers

Establish CLI connections to Data Grid.

Prerequisites

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

Procedure

  1. Open a terminal in $RHDG_HOME.
  2. Start the CLI.

    • Linux:

      $ bin/cli.sh
    • Microsoft Windows:

      $ bin\cli.bat
  3. Run the connect command and enter your username and password when prompted.

    • Data Grid Server on the default port of 11222:

      [disconnected]> connect
    • Data Grid Server with a port offset of 100:

      [disconnected]> connect 127.0.0.1:11322

1.4. Shutting Down Data Grid Server

Stop individually running servers or bring down clusters gracefully.

Procedure

  1. Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
  2. Shut down Data Grid 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>
Important

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.

Tip

Run help shutdown for more details about using the command.

Verification

Data Grid logs the following messages when you shut down servers:

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

1.4.1. Restarting Data Grid Clusters

When you bring Data Grid 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.

Chapter 2. Performing Cache Operations with the Data Grid CLI

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

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

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

Prerequisites

Create a user and start at least one Data Grid server instance.

Procedure

  1. Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
  2. 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
      Tip

      Press the tab key after the --template= argument to list available cache templates.

  3. Verify the cache exists with the ls command.

    [//containers/default]> ls caches
    mycache
  4. Retrieve the cache configuration with the describe command.

    [//containers/default]> describe caches/mycache

2.1.1. Cache Configuration

You can provide cache configuration in XML or JSON format.

XML

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

JSON

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

JSON format

Cache configuration in JSON format must follow the structure of an XML configuration. * XML elements become JSON objects. * XML attributes become JSON fields.

2.2. Adding Cache Entries

Create key:value pair entries in the data container.

Prerequisites

Create a Data Grid cache that can store your data.

Procedure

  1. Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
  2. 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
  3. 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 Data Grid CLI.

Procedure

  1. Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
  2. 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

  1. Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
  2. Remove caches with the drop command.

    [//containers/default]> drop cache mycache

Chapter 3. Performing Batch Operations

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

Prerequisites

  • A running Data Grid cluster.

3.1. Performing Batch Operations with Files

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

Procedure

  1. 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.

    connect --username=<username> --password=<password> <hostname>:11222
    create cache --template=org.infinispan.DIST_SYNC mybatch
    put --cache=mybatch hello world
    put --cache=mybatch hola mundo
    ls caches/mybatch
    disconnect
    Tip

    Configure the CLI with the autoconnect-url property instead of using the connect command directly in your batch files.

  2. Run the CLI and specify the file as input.

    $ bin/cli.sh -f batch
Note

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

  1. Start the Data Grid CLI in interactive mode.

    $ bin/cli.sh -c localhost:11222 -f -
    Tip

    You can configure the CLI connection with the autoconnect-url property instead of using the -c argument.

  2. 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
Tip

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
  } ]
}

Chapter 4. Configuring the Data Grid CLI

Define configuration properties for the Data Grid CLI.

4.1. Setting Data Grid CLI Properties and Persistent Storage

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

Prerequisites

Create at least one Data Grid user.

Procedure

  1. Optionally set a custom path to the Data Grid 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 ...
  2. Set values for configuration properties with the config set command.

    For example, set the autoconnect-url property so that the CLI automatically connects to that URL.

    Note

    For remote connections, specify the URL and provide credentials:

    • http[s]://<username>:<password>@<hostname>:<port> for basic authentication.
    • http[s]://<token>@<hostname>:<port> for OAuth authentication.
    $ bin/cli.sh config set autoconnect-url http://<username>:<password>@<hostname>:11222
  3. Verify configuration properties with the config get command.

    Tip

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

4.2. Creating Command Aliases

Create aliases for Data Grid CLI commands to define custom shortcuts.

Procedure

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

    For example, set q as an alias for the quit command:

    [//containers/default]> alias q=quit
  2. Run the alias command to check the defined aliases.

    [//containers/default]> alias
    alias q='quit'
  3. Delete aliases with the unalias command, for example:

    [//containers/default]> unalias q

4.3. Trusting Data Grid Server Connections

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

Prerequisites

  • Set up an SSL identity for Data Grid Server.
  • Create at least one Data Grid user.

Procedure

  1. 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
  2. Define the key store password, if necessary, as follows:

    $ bin/cli.sh config set truststore-password secret
  3. 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

4.4. Data Grid CLI Storage Directory

Data Grid CLI stores configuration in the following default directory:

Operating SystemDefault Path

Linux/Unix

$HOME/.config/red_hat_data_grid

Microsoft Windows

%APPDATA%/Sun/Java/red_hat_data_grid

Mac OS

$HOME/Library/Java/red_hat_data_grid

This directory contains the following files:

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

Chapter 5. Working with Counters

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

Prerequisites

  • Start the Data Grid CLI.
  • Connect to a running Data Grid cluster.

5.1. Creating Counters

Create strong and weak counters with the Data Grid CLI.

Procedure

  1. Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
  2. Run the create counter command with the appropriate arguments.

    1. Create my-weak-counter.

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

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

    [//containers/default]> ls counters
    my-strong-counter
    my-weak-counter
  4. Verify counter configurations.

    1. Describe my-weak-counter.

      [//containers/default]> describe counters/my-weak-counter
      
      {
          "weak-counter":{
              "initial-value":5,
              "storage":"PERSISTENT",
              "concurrency-level":1
          }
      }
    2. 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

  1. Select a counter.

    [//containers/default]> counter my-weak-counter
  2. List the current count.

    [//containers/default/counters/my-weak-counter]> ls
    5
  3. Increment the counter value by 2.

    [//containers/default/counters/my-weak-counter]> add --delta=2
  4. Decrement the counter value by -4.

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

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.

Chapter 6. Querying Caches with Protobuf Metadata

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

Prerequisites

  • Start the Data Grid CLI.
  • Connect to a running Data Grid 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

  1. Create a Data Grid configuration file that adds a distributed cache named qcache and configures the media type, for example:

    <distributed-cache name="pcache">
       <encoding>
          <key media-type="application/x-protostream"/>
          <value media-type="application/x-protostream"/>
       </encoding>
    </distributed-cache>
  2. Create pcache from pcache.xml with the --file= option.

    [//containers/default]> create cache --file=pcache.xml pcache
  3. 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"
        }
      }
    }
  4. 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

  1. 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;
    }
  2. Register person.proto.

    [//containers/default]> schema --upload=person.proto person.proto
  3. 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

Data Grid 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

  1. Navigate to the pcache cache.

    [//containers/default/caches]> cd pcache
  2. 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
  3. Verify that the entries exist.

    [//containers/default/caches/pcache]> ls
    lukecage
    matthewmurdock
    jessicajones
  4. 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",

Chapter 7. Performing Cross-Site Replication Operations

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

Prerequisites

  • Start the Data Grid CLI.
  • Connect to a running Data Grid cluster.

7.1. Bringing Backup Locations Offline and Online

Take backup locations offline manually and bring them back online.

Procedure

  1. Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
  2. Check if backup locations are online or offline with the site status command:

    [//containers/default]> site status --cache=cacheName --site=NYC
    Note

    --site is an optional argument. If not set, the CLI returns all backup locations.

  3. 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. Configuring Cross-Site State Transfer Modes

You can configure cross-site state transfer operations to happen automatically when Data Grid detects that backup locations come online. Alternatively you can use the default mode, which is to manually perform state transfer through the CLI or via JMX or REST.

Procedure

  1. Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
  2. Use the site command to configure state transfer modes, as in the following examples:

    • Retrieve the current state transfer mode.

      [//containers/default]> site state-transfer-mode get --cache=cacheName --site=NYC
      "MANUAL"
    • Configure automatic state transfer operations for a cache and backup location.
[//containers/default]> site state-transfer-mode set --cache=cacheName --site=NYC --mode=AUTO
Tip

Run the help site command for more information and examples.

7.3. Pushing State to Backup Locations

Transfer cache state to remote backup locations.

Procedure

  1. Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
  2. 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.

Chapter 8. Backing Up and Restoring Data Grid Clusters

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

Prerequisites

  • Start the Data Grid CLI.
  • Connect to a running Data Grid cluster.

8.1. Backing Up Data Grid Clusters

Create backup archives in .zip format that you can download or store on Data Grid 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

  1. Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
  2. 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
  3. List available backup archives on the server.

    [//containers/default]> backup ls
  4. 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
  5. Optionally delete the example-backup archive from the server.

    [//containers/default]> backup delete example-backup

8.2. Restoring Data Grid Clusters from Backup Archives

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

Prerequisites

  • Create a backup archive that is either local to the Data Grid CLI or stored on Data Grid 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

  1. Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
  2. 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=*

9.4. BENCHMARK(1)

9.4.1. NAME

benchmark - runs a performance benchmark against a cache.

You can run performance benchmarks for the following HTTP and Hot Rod protocols: http, https, hotrod, and hotrods. You specify the protocol for the benchmark with a URI. If you do not specify a protocol, the benchmark uses the URI of the current CLI connection.

Benchmarks for Hot Rod URIs connect to the entire cluster. For HTTP URIs, benchmarks connect to a single node only.

Benchmarks test performance against an existing cache. Before you run a benchmark, you should create a cache with the capabilities you want to measure. For example, if you want to evaluate the performance of cross-site replication, you should create a cache that has backup locations. If you want to test the performance of persistence, create a cache that uses an appropriate cache store.
