Chapter 1. Remote caches

Deploy multiple Data Grid Server instances to create remote cache clusters that give you a fault-tolerant and scalable data tier with high-speed access from Hot Rod and REST clients.

1.1. Remote cache tutorials

To run these tutorials you need at least one locally running instance of Data Grid Server.

You can download the distribution and run the following commands: 

$ ./bin/cli.sh user create admin -p "password"
$ ./bin/server.sh
Note

Data Grid Server enables authentication and authorization by default. Creating a user named admin gives you administrative access to Infinispan Server.

Building and running remote cache tutorials

You can build and run remote cache tutorials directly in your IDE or from the command line as follows: 

$ mvn -s /path/to/maven-settings.xml clean package exec:exec

1.2. Hot Rod Java client tutorials

  • Hot Rod Java clients require JDK 8 or later. However, Data Grid recommends using Java 11 at a minimum.
