I mean is -- I do this; ignite.compute().withTimeout(timeout).execute(computeTask, request); Up-front. Before I execute the Affinity part. Like so public Map<? extends ComputeJob, ClusterNode> map(List<ClusterNode> subgrid, @Nullable TRequest request) throws IgniteException { Map<ComputeJob, ClusterNode> jobMap = new HashMap<>(); try { List<UUID> cacheKeys = getIgniteAffinityCacheKeys(request); Map<ClusterNode, Collection<UUID>> nodeToKeysMap = ignite.<UUID>affinity(getIgniteAffinityCacheName()).mapKeysToNodes(cacheKeys); >> Correct me, if I'm wrong, but you are trying to choose a node to run a >> compute task on, >> depending on where a needed key is stored (just like affinityRun). >> And at the same time you want to make sure, that the corresponding node >> is already initialized. >> And if a node, that you chose by affinity, is not ready yet, then there >> will be no suitable nodes. We need the existing Grid to keep computing as Nodes come and go, which is often the case in the Cloud. As in; NodeA somehow die, and consequently another; NodeB, soon replaces it. Meanwhile, there are 3 other, additional copies of the data that was on NodeA available. (1 Primary & 3 Backups) What I want is that the compute load, which is constant and high, to not be sent to NodeB until it is truly ready to accept load. And that is not when NodeB starts Ignite, but sometime afterwards – which can, possibly, be a few minutes. >> Another thing I don't understand is why you need a ComputeTask#map >> method. >> Why ClusterGroup-specific compute is not enough for you? As shown above. I execute each ComputeTask against a large batch of Keys. These are then mapped to many different Nodes -- those with the data for that Key. And I send the ComputeJob to the appropriate Node using the map() function Thank you for all your help Denis. Cheers, -- Chris -- Sent from: http://apache-ignite-users.70518.x6.nabble.com/
