There is no particular reason why we cannot use the regular one, so this is not a blocker for us.
The Thin Client was attractive in that it allowed client contexts to be very lightweight which aids aspects such as fine grained container scalability (think AWS::Fargate/EKS). -----Original Message----- From: Denis Magda [mailto:dma...@apache.org] Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2018 9:32 AM To: dev@ignite.apache.org Subject: Re: Timeline for support of compute functions by thin clients Raymond, Then I would suggest you keep using the regular .NET client that supports and optimized for computations.
