Dmitriy,

From my point of view, invoking stop(true) is correct behaviour.

Stopping node in the middle of checkpoint is absolutely valid case. That's how persistence works - node will restore memory state if stopped at any moment. On the other hand, checkpoint may last for a long time. Thread hanging on Ignite.close() may confuse user much more than "crashed in the middle of checkpoint" message.

Ivan Rakov

Hi Igniters,

I’ve created the simplest example using Ignite 2.1 and persistence (see the
code below). I've included Ignite instance into try-with-resources (I think
it is default approach for AutoCloseable inheritors).

But next time when I started this server I got message: “Ignite node
crashed in the middle of checkpoint. Will restore memory state and enforce
checkpoint on node start.”

This happens because in close() method we don’t wait checkpoint to end. I
am afraid this behaviour may confuse users on the first use of the product.

What do you think if we change Ignite.close() functioning from stop(true)
to stop(false)? This will allow to wait checkpoints to finish by default.

Alternatively, we may improve example to show how to shutdown server node
correctly. Current PersistentStoreExample does not cover server node
shutdown.

Any concerns on close() method change?

Sincerely,
Dmitriy Pavlov


IgniteConfiguration cfg = new IgniteConfiguration();
cfg.setPersistentStoreConfiguration(new PersistentStoreConfiguration());

try (Ignite ignite = Ignition.start(cfg)){
    ignite.active(true);
    IgniteCache<String, String> cache = ignite.getOrCreateCache("test");

    for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
          cache.put("Key" + i, "Value" + i);
}
