Chapter 3. Configuring the Hot Rod C++ client


Hot Rod C++ clients interact with remote Data Grid clusters via the RemoteCache API.

3.1. Configuration and Remote Cache Manager APIs

Use the ConfigurationBuilder API to configure Hot Rod C++ client connections and the RemoteCacheManager API to obtain and configure remote caches.

Configuration builder

#include "infinispan/hotrod/ConfigurationBuilder.h"
#include "infinispan/hotrod/RemoteCacheManager.h"
#include <infinispan/hotrod/RemoteCache.h>
#include <iostream>
int main () {
  ConfigurationBuilder builder;
    // Configure a cache manager to connect with Hot Rod version 2.8
    builder.protocolVersion(Configuration::PROTOCOL_VERSION_28);
    // Connect to a server at localhost with the default port.
    builder.addServer().host("127.0.0.1").port(11222);
    // Create and start a RemoteCacheManager to interact with caches.
    RemoteCacheManager cacheManager(builder.build(), false);
    cacheManager.start();
    ...
}

Cross-site replication

ConfigurationBuilder builder;
  builder.addServer().host("127.0.0.1").port(11222);
  // Configure a remote cluster and node when using cross-site replication.
  builder.addCluster("NYC").addClusterNode("192.0.2.0", 11322);

Near caching

ConfigurationBuilder builder;
  builder.addServer().host("127.0.0.1").port(11222);
  // Enable near-caching for the client.
  builder.nearCache().mode(NearCacheMode::INVALIDATED).maxEntries(4);
