Hello Łukasz,

Nice to meet you!

Currently there are some known issues with the Apache Ignite OSGi
integration. We have a lack of time and knowledg to support it, so any
help are very appreciated. I also have a a plan to move this
integration to the Apache Ignite Extensions project [1] and release it
when all the issues are resolved. Here is an umbrella ticket for it
[2].

What do you think if I move the OSGi to the Apache Ignite Extensions
first and after it we will resolve the issue you mentioned above? I
can help with a review and try to do the best I can here.
Anyway if this plan wouldn't work for you, please, feel free to create
an issue here [3] with your PR.
