I have a 5 machine ignite grid deployed on EC2 (still very much in testing but would like to move to becoming more serious about using it in research at least and eventually in production). In order to be able to cache various Scala/java classes, I created a fat jar of my Scala app and put it in the ignite/libs/ subdirectory. Then I start ignite on each node by running the ignite.sh script.
When I add new classes, I recompile the app and create a new fat jar. How does one deploy this new code so that the already running ignite becomes aware of it? I am not much of a Java programmer (jumped straight to Scala) - are there any ways Java allows for loading new classes/jars "on the fly" into running JVMs? If so, does Ignite support them? If not, what do people do to deploy new jars so they can become usable to an already running cache grid? Thanks! Ognen
