Ed, Why do we want to operate on CacheConfiguration so desperately? Your example raises even more questions: 1) What to do with thin clients? 2) What to do with aforementioned race conditions, when cache could be changed concurrently? 3) Why such trivial operation from user perspective is only supported from control.sh and not from the rest API (even Java client nodes will be affected - remember our plans to remove requirement to have cache classes on client nodes, which is yet to be implemented).
Compare it to alternative API: 1) Native call from any language without limitations: Ignite.changeCache(CacheConfigurationChange.create().setCacheMode(REPLICATED).setBackups(2)); 2) Call from control.sh in one line without race conditions with concurrent cache changes: control.sh --cache --change cacheMode=REPLICATED backups=2 On Wed, Nov 21, 2018 at 7:32 PM Eduard Shangareev < eduard.shangar...@gmail.com> wrote: > Vovan, > > user already is able to get cache configuration as xml. > control.sh --cache list '.' --config > > So, user could update it and run: > control.sh --cache --restart -cfg=xml.path > > > On Wed, Nov 21, 2018 at 7:06 PM Vladimir Ozerov <voze...@gridgain.com> > wrote: > > > Ed, > > > > He can do that programmatically.
