Interface ClusterNode

All Superinterfaces:

BaselineNode

All Known Implementing Classes:

IsolatedNode

public interface ClusterNode
extends BaselineNode

Interface representing a single cluster node. Use attribute(String) or metrics() to get static and dynamic information about cluster nodes. ClusterNode list, which includes all nodes within task topology, is provided to ComputeTask.map(List, Object) method.

Cluster Node Attributes

You can use cluster node attributes to provide static information about a node. This information is initialized once within a cluster, during the node startup, and remains the same throughout the lifetime of a node. Use IgniteConfiguration.getUserAttributes() method to initialize your custom node attributes at startup. Here is an example of how to assign an attribute to a node at startup:

 <bean class="org.apache.ignite.configuration.IgniteConfiguration">
     ...
     <property name="userAttributes">
         <map>
             <entry key="worker" value="true"/>
         </map>
     </property>
     ...
 </bean>
 

The system adds the following attributes automatically:

• {@link System#getProperties()} - All system properties.
• {@link System#getenv(String)} - All environment properties.
• org.ignite.build.ver - Ignite build version.
• org.apache.ignite.jit.name - Name of JIT compiler used.
• org.apache.ignite.net.itf.name - Name of network interface.
• org.apache.ignite.user.name - Operating system user name.
• org.apache.ignite.ignite.name - Ignite name (see Ignite.name()).
• spiName.org.apache.ignite.spi.class - SPI implementation class for every SPI, where spiName is the name of the SPI (see IgniteSpi.getName().
• spiName.org.apache.ignite.spi.ver - SPI version for every SPI, where spiName is the name of the SPI (see IgniteSpi.getName().

Note that all System and Environment properties for all nodes are automatically included into node attributes. This gives you an ability to get any information specified in System.getProperties() about any node. So for example, in order to print out information about Operating System for all nodes you would do the following:

 for (ClusterNode node : ignite.cluster().nodes()) {
     System.out.println("Operating system name: " + node.getAttribute("os.name"));
     System.out.println("Operating system architecture: " + node.getAttribute("os.arch"));
     System.out.println("Operating system version: " + node.getAttribute("os.version"));
 }
 

Cluster Node Metrics

Cluster node metrics (see metrics()) are updated frequently for all nodes and can be used to get dynamic information about a node. The frequency of update is controlled by IgniteConfiguration.getMetricsUpdateFrequency() parameter. The metrics data will be updated every 2 seconds by default.

Grid node metrics provide information that can frequently change, such as Heap and Non-Heap memory utilization, CPU load, number of active and waiting grid jobs, etc... This information can become useful during job collision resolution or ComputeTask.map(List, Object) operation when jobs are assigned to remote nodes for execution.

Local node metrics are registered as MBean and can be accessed from any JMX management console. The simplest way is to use standard jconsole that comes with JDK as it also provides ability to view any node parameter as a graph.

Method Detail

id

UUID id()

Gets globally unique node ID. A new ID is generated every time a node restarts.

Returns:

Globally unique node ID.

consistentId

Object consistentId()

Gets consistent globally unique node ID. Unlike id() method, this method returns consistent node ID which survives node restarts.

Specified by:

consistentId in interface BaselineNode

Returns:

Consistent globally unique node ID.

attribute

@Nullable
<T> T attribute(String name)

Gets a node attribute. Attributes are assigned to nodes at startup via IgniteConfiguration.getUserAttributes() method.

The system adds the following attributes automatically:

• {@link System#getProperties()} - All system properties.
• {@link System#getenv(String)} - All environment properties.
• All attributes defined in IgniteNodeAttributes

Note that attributes cannot be changed at runtime.

Specified by:

attribute in interface BaselineNode

Type Parameters:

T - Attribute Type.

Parameters:

name - Attribute name. Note that attribute names starting with org.apache.ignite are reserved for internal use.

Returns:

Attribute value or null.

metrics

ClusterMetrics metrics()

Gets metrics snapshot for this node. Note that node metrics are constantly updated and provide up to date information about nodes. For example, you can get an idea about CPU load on remote node via ClusterMetrics.getCurrentCpuLoad() method and use it during ComputeTask.map(List, Object) or during collision resolution.

Node metrics are updated with some delay which is controlled by IgniteConfiguration.getMetricsUpdateFrequency() parameter. By default the update will happen every 2 seconds.

Returns:

Runtime metrics snapshot for this node.

attributes

Map<String,Object> attributes()

Gets all node attributes. Attributes are assigned to nodes at startup via IgniteConfiguration.getUserAttributes() method.

The system adds the following attributes automatically:

• {@link System#getProperties()} - All system properties.
• {@link System#getenv(String)} - All environment properties.
• All attributes defined in IgniteNodeAttributes

Note that attributes cannot be changed at runtime.

Specified by:

attributes in interface BaselineNode

Returns:

All node attributes.

addresses

Collection<String> addresses()

Gets collection of addresses this node is known by.

If IgniteConfiguration.getLocalHost() value isn't null node will try to use that address for all communications and returned collection will contain only that address. If it is null then local wildcard address will be used, and Ignite will make the best effort to supply all addresses of that node in returned collection.

Returns:

Collection of addresses.

hostNames

Collection<String> hostNames()

Gets collection of host names this node is known by.

If IgniteConfiguration.getLocalHost() value isn't null node will try to use the host name of that resolved address for all communications and returned collection will contain only that host name. If that host name can not be resolved then ip address returned by method addresses() is used.

If IgniteConfiguration.getLocalHost() value is null then local wildcard address will be used, and this method returns host names of all addresses of that node.

Note: the loopback address will be omitted in results.

Returns:

Collection of host names.

order

long order()

Node order within grid topology. Discovery SPIs that support node ordering will assign a proper order to each node and will guarantee that discovery event notifications for new nodes will come in proper order. All other SPIs not supporting ordering may choose to return node startup time here.

NOTE: in cases when discovery SPI doesn't support ordering Ignite cannot guarantee that orders on all nodes will be unique or chronologically correct. If such guarantee is required - make sure use discovery SPI that provides ordering.

Returns:

Node startup order.

version

IgniteProductVersion version()

Gets node version.

Returns:

Node version.

isLocal

boolean isLocal()

Tests whether or not this node is a local node.

Returns:

True if this node is a local node, false otherwise.

isClient

boolean isClient()

Whether this node is cache client (see IgniteConfiguration.isClientMode()).

Returns:

True if client.
