Igniters, Partition Awareness (PA) is implemented in 5 out of 6 thin clients [1].
However, this feature is disabled by default in most clients for compatibility reasons: initially we only used one connection to the cluster, but with PA enabled we establish connections to every server node, which may be not desirable in some use cases. I expect those scenarios to be rare, and in most cases it makes sense to enable PA by default. Thoughts, objections? [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IGNITE/Thin+clients+features
