Igniters, With this vote, I'd like to formally wrap up our discussion on defining Ignite as a "distributed database" instead of an "in-memory computing" platform. See the following discussion for the rationale and context: http://apache-ignite-developers.2346864.n4.nabble.com/DISCUSSION-Renaming-Ignite-s-product-category-td49246.html
If the vote passes, the website will define Ignite as "a distributed database for in-memory speed at petabyte scale" to underscore our in-memory origins (and the primary reason why the project is selected) but not diminishing our persistence capabilities. All prominent use cases such as caching, high-performance computing, etc. will remain visible on the website. There is nothing wrong if a distributed database is used as a cache or high-performance compute cluster; it's up to an application developer to decide. Overall, please cast your vote for defining Ignite as a "distributed database": +1 - support the change -1 - disagree with the change, explain why 0 - neutral This is a majority vote that is open for the next 7 days and to be closed on Monday, Nov 30th: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/to?year=2020&month=11&day=30 - Denis
