Data Grid documentation
Documentation for Data Grid is available on the Red Hat customer portal.
Data Grid downloads
Access the Data Grid Software Downloads on the Red Hat customer portal.
You must have a Red Hat account to access and download Data Grid software.
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 Data Grid CLI
The command line interface (CLI) lets you remotely connect to Data Grid Server to access data and perform administrative functions. Complete the following procedures to learn basic CLI usage such as creating users, connecting to Data Grid, and navigating resources.
1.1. Creating and modifying Data Grid 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).
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
-
Open a terminal in
$RHDG_HOME
. Create an
admin
user with theuser create
command.Add a user assigned to the
admin
group.bin/cli.sh user create myuser -p changeme -g admin
Use implicit authorization to gain
admin
permissions.bin/cli.sh user create admin -p changeme
Open
user.properties
andgroups.properties
with any text editor to verify users and groups.$ 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
Start a CLI session with an
admin
user.$ bin/cli.sh
Assign the
deployer
role to "katie".[//containers/default]> user roles grant --roles=deployer katie
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
-
Start a CLI session with an
admin
user. Use the
user create
command to create a group.-
Specify "developers" as the group name with the
--groups
argument. 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
-
Specify "developers" as the group name with the
List groups.
[//containers/default]> user ls --groups ["developers"]
Assign the
application
role to the "developers" group.[//containers/default]> user roles grant --roles=application developers
List roles for the "developers" group.
[//containers/default]> user roles ls developers ["application"]
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.
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.
Role | Permissions | Description |
---|---|---|
| ALL | Superuser with all permissions including control of the Cache Manager lifecycle. |
| ALL_READ, ALL_WRITE, LISTEN, EXEC, MONITOR, CREATE |
Can create and delete Data Grid resources in addition to |
| ALL_READ, ALL_WRITE, LISTEN, EXEC, MONITOR |
Has read and write access to Data Grid resources in addition to |
| ALL_READ, MONITOR |
Has read access to Data Grid resources in addition to |
| MONITOR |
Can view statistics via JMX and the |
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
-
Open a terminal in
$RHDG_HOME
. Start the CLI.
Linux:
bin/cli.sh
Microsoft Windows:
bin\cli.bat
Run the
connect
command and enter your username and password when prompted.Data Grid Server on the default port of
11222
:[disconnected]> connect
Data Grid Server with a port offset of
100
:[disconnected]> connect 127.0.0.1:11322
1.4. Shutting down Data Grid Server
Stop individually running servers or bring down clusters gracefully.
Procedure
- Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
Shut down Data Grid Server in one of the following ways:
Stop all nodes in a cluster with the
shutdown cluster
command, for example:shutdown cluster
This command saves cluster state to the
data
folder for each node in the cluster. If you use a cache store, theshutdown cluster
command also persists all data in the cache.Stop individual server instances with the
shutdown server
command and the server hostname, for example:shutdown server <my_server01>
The shutdown server
command does not wait for rebalancing operations to complete, which can lead to data loss if you specify multiple hostnames at the same time.
Run help shutdown
for more details about using the command.
Verification
Data Grid logs the following messages when you shut down servers:
ISPN080002: Data Grid Server stopping ISPN000080: Disconnecting JGroups channel cluster ISPN000390: Persisted state, version=<$version> timestamp=YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS ISPN080003: Data Grid Server stopped
1.4.1. Data Grid cluster restarts
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
Use the command line interface (CLI) to perform operations on remote caches such as creating caches, manipulating data, and rebalancing.
2.1. Creating remote caches with the Data Grid CLI
Use the Data Grid Command Line Interface (CLI) to add remote caches on Data Grid Server.
Prerequisites
-
Create a Data Grid user with
admin
permissions. - Start at least one Data Grid Server instance.
- Have a Data Grid cache configuration.
Procedure
Start the CLI and enter your credentials when prompted.
bin/cli.sh
Use the
create cache
command to create remote caches.For example, create a cache named "mycache" from a file named
mycache.xml
as follows:create cache --file=mycache.xml mycache
Verification
List all remote caches with the
ls
command.ls caches mycache
View cache configuration with the
describe
command.describe caches/mycache
2.1.1. Cache configuration
You can create declarative cache configuration in XML, JSON, and YAML format.
All declarative caches must conform to the Data Grid schema. Configuration in JSON format must follow the structure of an XML configuration, elements correspond to objects and attributes correspond to fields.
Data Grid restricts characters to a maximum of 255
for a cache name or a cache template name. If you exceed this character limit, the Data Grid server might abruptly stop without issuing an exception message. Write succinct cache names and cache template names.
A file system might set a limitation for the length of a file name, so ensure that a cache’s name does not exceed this limitation. If a cache name exceeds a file system’s naming limitation, general operations or initialing operations towards that cache might fail. Write succinct cache names and cache template names.

2.2. Modifying Data Grid cache configuration
Make changes to your remote cache configuration with the Data Grid CLI. You can modify attributes in your cache configuration either one at a time or provide a cache configuration in XML, JSON or YAML format to modify several attributes at once.
Prerequisites
- Create at least one remote cache on your Data Grid cluster.
Procedure
- Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
Modify the cache configuration with the
alter
command in one of the following ways:-
Use the
--file
option to specify a configuration file with one or more attribute modifications. Use the
--attribute
and--value
option to modify a specific configuration attribute.TipFor more information and examples, run the
help alter
command.
-
Use the
Verify your changes with the
describe
command, for example:describe caches/mycache
2.3. Adding Cache Entries
Create key:value
pair entries in the data container.
Prerequisites
Create a Data Grid cache that can store your data.
Procedure
- Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
Add entries into your cache as follows:
Use the
--cache=
with theput
command:put --cache=mycache hello world
Use the
put
command from the context of a cache:[//containers/default/caches/mycache]> put hello world
Use the
get
command to verify entries.[//containers/default/caches/mycache]> get hello world
2.4. Clearing Caches and Deleting Entries
Remove data from caches with the Data Grid CLI.
Procedure
- Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
Do one of the following:
Delete all entries with the
clearcache
command.clearcache mycache
Remove specific entries with the
remove
command.remove --cache=mycache hello
2.5. Deleting Caches
Drop caches to remove them and delete all data they contain.
Procedure
- Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
Remove caches with the
drop
command.drop cache mycache
2.6. Configuring Automatic Cache Rebalancing
By default, Data Grid automatically rebalances caches as nodes join and leave the cluster. You can configure automatic cache rebalancing by disabling or enabling it at the Cache Manager level or on a per-cache basis.
Procedure
- Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
Disable automatic rebalancing for all caches with the
rebalance disable
command.rebalance disable
Enable automatic rebalancing for a specific cache with the
rebalance enable
command.The following example enables rebalancing for the cache named "mycache" only.
rebalance enable caches/mycache
Re-enable automatic rebalancing for all caches.
rebalance enable
For more information about the rebalance
command, run help rebalance
.
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
Create a file that contains a set of operations.
For example, create a file named
batch
that creates a cache namedmybatch
, 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
TipConfigure the CLI with the
autoconnect-url
property instead of using theconnect
command directly in your batch files.Run the CLI and specify the file as input.
bin/cli.sh -f batch
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 Data Grid CLI in interactive mode.
bin/cli.sh -c localhost:11222 -f -
TipYou can configure the CLI connection with the
autoconnect-url
property instead of using the-c
argument.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 } ] }
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
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 ...
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.NoteFor 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
-
Verify configuration properties with the
config get
command.TipRun
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
Create aliases with the
alias <alias>=<command>
command.For example, set
q
as an alias for thequit
command:alias q=quit
Run the
alias
command to check the defined aliases.alias alias q='quit'
Delete aliases with the
unalias
command, for example: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
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
bin/cli.sh config get truststore-password

Back up named Protobuf schemas only.
backup create --proto-schemas=schema1,schema2
List available backup archives on the server.
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.
backup get example-backup
Optionally delete the
example-backup
archive from the server.backup delete example-backup
7.2. 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
- Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.
Run the
backup restore
command with the appropriate options.Restore all content from a backup archive accessible on the server.
backup restore /some/path/on/the/server
Restore all content from a local backup archive.
backup restore -u /some/local/path
Restore only cache content from a backup archive on the server.
backup restore /some/path/on/the/server --caches=*

8.3. ALTER(1)
8.3.1. NAME
alter - modifies the configuration of caches on Data Grid Server.
8.3.2. SYNOPSIS
alter cache ['OPTIONS'] CACHE_NAME
You can modify a cache with the alter

For example you cannot use a replicated cache configuration to modify a distributed cache. Likewise if you create a cache configuration with a specific attribute, you cannot modify the configuration to use a different attribute instead. For example, attempting to modify cache configuration by specifying a value for the max-count
attribute results in invalid configuration if the max-size
is already set.

8.6. BENCHMARK(1)
8.6.1. 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

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.
