Hello We are currently using Ignition.Start to get the handle for thick client.
>> ignite = Ignition.start(cfg); As I understand, this API is a blocking API, unless the connection is successfully established. However, in some scenarios, where the thick client is unable to connect properly, it is preferable to have a timeout option as specified below. >> ignite = Ignition.start(cfg, timeout); is this already available today? If not, can you take it as an enhancement request for 2.8. The reason why I ask is, in some scenarios, when a thick client comes up for the very first time, we see thick client making an attempt to connect to ignite servers almost in an infinite loop. Previously, I raised this infinite loop connecting issue before. http://apache-ignite-users.70518.x6.nabble.com/client-reconnect-working-td28570.html regards mahesh
