Thank you for the response. A couple of things: -From your first response, it seems like the db id should be included in the cache name. Currently we just included it in the Ignite instance, but not the cache name, which I believe led to some of the issues we have seen.
-What exactly would the node filter protect us from? Just the cache being explicitly restarted on a different node? Or any potential rebalancing as well? -The cluster will be explicitly set to active the first time that it is created. All new nodes will then need to join the baseline topology to use persistence. It seems like the way to do this is to use IgniteCluster.setBaselineTopology. Is this method equivalent to adding the specified BaselineNode objects to the already existing BaselineTopology? Or does it completely reset the BaselineTopology with the specified BaselineNode objects? If the second, then to update the BaselineTopology, currentBaselineTopology would have to be called, the new node would have to be added, and then the collection would have to be passed back to setBaselineTopology. This would have a race condition if two nodes are trying to join the baseline topology at the same time.

If the cache mode is local, why does IgniteCluster even come into play? All that we want to do is to read/write from the work directory corresponding to our db id. Is there a way to get persistence without activating the IgniteCluster? Cluster needs to make sure that all nodes in cluster know about this cache to avoid situations in future when other nodes will try to create a distributed cache with the same name, for example. 2. How do we achieve the cache isolation we are looking for? Currently, if I have db A and B, this would result in IgniteA and IgniteB in separate JVM instances, each with their own directory. If I start IgniteA, and then IgniteB, IgniteB will complain about not being part of the BaselineTopology and will not use persistence. It seems like there are two options: You can use NodeFilter for the cache: https://ignite.apache.org/releases/latest/javadoc/org/apache/ignite/configuration/CacheConfiguration.html#setNodeFilter-org.apache.ignite.lang.IgnitePredicate- It will define a subset of the nodes, which will store data for this cache. So, you can set there only one node. >-Have every node join the baseline topology when it comes up (I think there is >one per machine by default).

No, rebalancing won't happen, it will be skipped. However, before that, nodes should exchange an information regarding new topology ad partition distribution. Baseline topology should contains all nodes that will store the data. Evgenii пн, 30 дек. 2019 г. в 10:59, Mitchell Rathbun (BLOOMBERG/ 731 LEX) <mrathb...@bloomberg.net>: Any thoughts on this?

Each db has a unique id that we are using as part of the IgniteInstanceName and for the WorkDirectory path. We are running IgniteCache in Local mode with persistence enabled, as we effectively want to completely separate the Ignite caches for each db id. However, this is not working due to the IgniteCluster being shared and the BaselineTopology concept. So a couple of questions: 1. If the cache mode is local, why does IgniteCluster even come into play? All that we want to do is to read/write from the work directory corresponding to our db id. Is there a way to get persistence without activating the IgniteCluster? 2. How do we achieve the cache isolation we are looking for?

If it doesn't, then this seems like it would be an easy enough solution. Also, where is the cluster state stored (Members of baseline topology, etc.)? -If rebalancing does come into play even if all caches are local, then it seems like separate clusters would have to be specified when starting up. https://apacheignite.readme.io/docs/tcpip-discovery seems to provide a way to do that by making sure that TcpDiscoverySpi and TcpCommunicationSpi have different port ranges for every instance of the cluster. Again, this seems kind of like overkill if we know in advance that all of the caches will be local and will not need any of the cluster functionality. Are there any other simpler options? We are only interested in the IgniteCache functionality at a local per process level, at least for now. We might have 10-20 different caches on the same machine, and need these caches to be completely separated with no risk of any of the data being rebalanced/exposed to a different client instance. Ideally we would get persistence without having to activate IgniteCluster, but it does not seem like that is an option.
