Hi Franz, Running an Ignite client node embedded into an application would be the best way to interact with the cluster. You will have all the APIs available and also it's the preferred option from performance standpoint.
Ignite already has thread pool pre configured, there is no need to specify anything explicitly unless you have specific performance concerns. I would start with creating a simple setup and running performance tests to see how it behaves. -Val -- Sent from: http://apache-ignite-users.70518.x6.nabble.com/
