Dear Ignite community, Apache Apex is a data in-motion processing platform. It was developed since 2012 and recently became an ASF top level project:
http://apex.apache.org/docs.html The Apex engine can process large scale, high throughput streams with very low latency. It is a stateful system with strong processing guarantees. A unique feature of Apex is the ability to recover from failures without resetting the entire topology and also the ability to scale or change the application dynamically. Apex also has a large library of connectors, supporting integration with many well known projects in the wider big data ecosystem out of the box. It would be great to add Ignite to the list. I think Apex as processing engine and Ignite as storage layer would be a very powerful combination. Here are some use cases for such integration: - Connectors to read from Ignite or land data in Ignite ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-3131) - Checkpointing backend (alternative implementation for Apex StorageAgent) - Backend for operator specific state management It would be great if someone in Ignite community wants to take this up and collaborate. There is also a ticket in the Apex JIRA to track this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXMALHAR-2091 Thanks, Thomas
