infinispan-ruby-client

Infinispan Ruby Client

Infinispan is a scalable, high-availability data grid. This is a native Ruby client implementation of Infinispan's Hotrod client/server protocol, allowing Ruby applications to natively store and retrieve strings and Ruby objects in the Infinispan data grid.

Introduction

This is a Level-1 client, meaning that it is a basic client and does not participate in the data grid clustering. The client currently only supports using the default cache, and all operations of the Hot Rod protocol are implemented except the server stats request.

Installation

$ gem install infinispan-ruby-client

Usage

Using the infinispan-ruby-client requires that you connect to an Infinispan server using the hotrod protocol.

• First start Infinispan, specifying hotrod for the protocol

  $INFINISPAN_DIR/bin/startServer.sh -r hotrod

• Then write code

  require 'infinispan-ruby-client' cache = Infinispan::RemoteCache.new => #<Infinispan::RemoteCache:0x100365a78 @name="", @host="localhost", @port=11222>

  Store and retrieve a string

  cache.put("Name", "Lance") => true cache.get("Name") => "Lance"

  Store and retrieve a ruby object

  cache.put("Time", Time.now) => true time = cache.get("Time") => Tue Jun 07 17:45:17 -0400 2011 time.class => Time

Todo

• Validate response headers
• Get server statistics
• Support for lifespanSeconds and maxIdleTimeSeconds
• Support for intelligent clients and topologies, and listeners
• Configuration files support
• Transaction support
