Key-value --------- Open connection =============== .. literalinclude:: ../examples/get_and_put.py :language: python :lines: 16-19 .. _create_cache: Create cache ============ .. literalinclude:: ../examples/get_and_put.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 20 Put value in cache ================== .. literalinclude:: ../examples/get_and_put.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 22 Get value from cache ==================== .. literalinclude:: ../examples/get_and_put.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 24-28 Get multiple values from cache ============================== .. literalinclude:: ../examples/get_and_put.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 30-35 Type hints usage ================ File: `type_hints.py`_ .. literalinclude:: ../examples/type_hints.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 23-47 As a rule of thumb: - when a `pyignite` method or function deals with a single value or key, it has an additional parameter, like `value_hint` or `key_hint`, which accepts a parser/constructor class, - nearly any structure element (inside dict or list) can be replaced with a two-tuple of (said element, type hint). Refer the :ref:`data_types` section for the full list of parser/constructor classes you can use as type hints. ExpiryPolicy ============ File: `expiry_policy.py`_. You can enable expiry policy (TTL) by two approaches. Firstly, expiry policy can be set for entire cache by setting :py:attr:`~pyignite.datatypes.prop_codes.PROP_EXPIRY_POLICY` in cache settings dictionary on creation. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/expiry_policy.py :language: python :dedent: 12 :lines: 33-36 .. literalinclude:: ../examples/expiry_policy.py :language: python :dedent: 12 :lines: 42-48 Secondly, expiry policy can be set for all cache operations, which are done under decorator. To create it use :py:meth:`~pyignite.cache.BaseCache.with_expire_policy` .. literalinclude:: ../examples/expiry_policy.py :language: python :dedent: 12 :lines: 55-62 Scan ==== File: `scans.py`_. Cache's :py:meth:`~pyignite.cache.Cache.scan` method queries allows you to get the whole contents of the cache, element by element. Let us put some data in cache. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/scans.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 22-31 :py:meth:`~pyignite.cache.Cache.scan` returns a cursor, that yields two-tuples of key and value. You can iterate through the generated pairs in a safe manner: .. literalinclude:: ../examples/scans.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 33-41 Or, alternatively, you can convert the cursor to dictionary in one go: .. literalinclude:: ../examples/scans.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 43-52 But be cautious: if the cache contains a large set of data, the dictionary may consume too much memory! .. _sql_examples: Object collections ------------------ File: `get_and_put_complex.py`_. Ignite collection types are represented in `pyignite` as two-tuples. First comes collection type ID or deserialization hint, which is specific for each of the collection type. Second comes the data value. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/get_and_put_complex.py :language: python :lines: 17 Map === For Python prior to 3.6, it might be important to distinguish between ordered (`collections.OrderedDict`) and unordered (`dict`) dictionary types, so you could use :py:attr:`~pyignite.datatypes.complex.Map.LINKED_HASH_MAP` for the former and :py:attr:`~pyignite.datatypes.complex.Map.HASH_MAP` for the latter. Since CPython 3.6 all dictionaries became de facto ordered. You can always use `LINKED_HASH_MAP` as a safe default. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/get_and_put_complex.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 22-36 Collection ========== See :class:`~pyignite.datatypes.complex.CollectionObject` and Ignite documentation on `Collection`_ type for the description of various Java collection types. Note that not all of them have a direct Python representative. For example, Python do not have ordered sets (it is indeed recommended to use `OrderedDict`'s keys and disregard its values). As for the `pyignite`, the rules are simple: pass any iterable as a data, and you always get `list` back. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/get_and_put_complex.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 38-52 Object array ============ :class:`~pyignite.datatypes.complex.ObjectArrayObject` has a very limited functionality in `pyignite`, since no type checks can be enforced on its contents. But it still can be used for interoperability with Java. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/get_and_put_complex.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 54-63 Transactions ------------ File: `transactions.py`_. Client transactions are supported for caches with :py:attr:`~pyignite.datatypes.cache_config.CacheAtomicityMode.TRANSACTIONAL` mode. Let's create transactional cache: .. literalinclude:: ../examples/transactions.py :language: python :dedent: 8 :lines: 84-87 Let's start a transaction and commit it: .. literalinclude:: ../examples/transactions.py :language: python :dedent: 8 :lines: 90-96 Let's check that the transaction was committed successfully: .. literalinclude:: ../examples/transactions.py :language: python :dedent: 8 :lines: 98-99 Let's check that raising exception inside `with` block leads to transaction's rollback .. literalinclude:: ../examples/transactions.py :language: python :dedent: 8 :lines: 102-113 Let's check that timed out transaction is successfully rolled back .. literalinclude:: ../examples/transactions.py :language: python :dedent: 8 :lines: 116-126 See more info about transaction's parameters in a documentation of :py:meth:`~pyignite.client.Client.tx_start` SQL --- File: `sql.py`_. These examples are similar to the ones given in the Apache Ignite SQL Documentation: `Getting Started`_. Setup ===== First let us establish a connection. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/sql.py :language: python :lines: 20-21 Then create tables. Begin with `Country` table, than proceed with related tables `City` and `CountryLanguage`. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/helpers/sql_helper.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 27-43, 53-60, 68-74 .. literalinclude:: ../examples/sql.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 23-28 Create indexes. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/helpers/sql_helper.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 62, 76 .. literalinclude:: ../examples/sql.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 31-32 Fill tables with data. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/helpers/sql_helper.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 45-51, 64-66, 78-80 .. literalinclude:: ../examples/sql.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 35-42 Data samples are taken from `PyIgnite GitHub repository`_. That concludes the preparation of data. Now let us answer some questions. What are the 10 largest cities in our data sample (population-wise)? ==================================================================== .. literalinclude:: ../examples/sql.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 45-59 The :py:meth:`~pyignite.client.Client.sql` method returns a generator, that yields the resulting rows. What are the 10 most populated cities throughout the 3 chosen countries? ======================================================================== If you set the `include_field_names` argument to `True`, the :py:meth:`~pyignite.client.Client.sql` method will generate a list of column names as a first yield. You can access field names with Python built-in `next` function. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/sql.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 62-88 Display all the information about a given city ============================================== .. literalinclude:: ../examples/sql.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 92-103 Finally, delete the tables used in this example with the following queries: .. literalinclude:: ../examples/helpers/sql_helper.py :language: python :lines: 82 .. literalinclude:: ../examples/sql.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 106-107 .. _complex_object_usage: Complex objects --------------- File: `binary_basics.py`_. `Complex object`_ (that is often called ‘Binary object’) is an Ignite data type, that is designed to represent a Java class. It have the following features: - have a unique ID (type id), which is derives from a class name (type name), - have one or more associated schemas, that describes its inner structure (the order, names and types of its fields). Each schema have its own ID, - have an optional version number, that is aimed towards the end users to help them distinguish between objects of the same type, serialized with different schemas. Unfortunately, these distinctive features of the Complex object have few to no meaning outside of Java language. Python class can not be defined by its name (it is not unique), ID (object ID in Python is volatile; in CPython it is just a pointer in the interpreter's memory heap), or complex of its fields (they do not have an associated data types, moreover, they can be added or deleted in run-time). For the `pyignite` user it means that for all purposes of storing native Python data it is better to use Ignite :class:`~pyignite.datatypes.complex.CollectionObject` or :class:`~pyignite.datatypes.complex.MapObject` data types. However, for interoperability purposes, `pyignite` has a mechanism of creating special Python classes to read or write Complex objects. These classes have an interface, that simulates all the features of the Complex object: type name, type ID, schema, schema ID, and version number. Assuming that one concrete class for representing one Complex object can severely limit the user's data manipulation capabilities, all the functionality said above is implemented through the metaclass: :class:`~pyignite.binary.GenericObjectMeta`. This metaclass is used automatically when reading Complex objects. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/binary_basics.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 36-38, 40-43, 45-46 Here you can see how :class:`~pyignite.binary.GenericObjectMeta` uses `attrs`_ package internally for creating nice `__init__()` and `__repr__()` methods. In this case the autogenerated dataclass's name `Person` is exactly matches the type name of the Complex object it represents (the content of the :py:attr:`~pyignite.datatypes.base.IgniteDataTypeProps.type_name` property). But when Complex object's class name contains characters, that can not be used in a Python identifier, for example: - `.`, when fully qualified Java class names are used, - `$`, a common case for Scala classes, - `+`, internal class name separator in C#, then `pyignite` can not maintain this match. In such cases `pyignite` tries to sanitize a type name to derive a “good” dataclass name from it. If your code needs consistent naming between the server and the client, make sure that your Ignite cluster is configured to use `simple class names`_. Anyway, you can reuse the autogenerated dataclass for subsequent writes: .. literalinclude:: ../examples/binary_basics.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 50, 32-34 :class:`~pyignite.binary.GenericObjectMeta` can also be used directly for creating custom classes: .. literalinclude:: ../examples/binary_basics.py :language: python :lines: 20-25 Note how the `Person` class is defined. `schema` is a :class:`~pyignite.binary.GenericObjectMeta` metaclass parameter. Another important :class:`~pyignite.binary.GenericObjectMeta` parameter is a `type_name`, but it is optional and defaults to the class name (‘Person’ in our example). Note also, that `Person` do not have to define its own attributes, methods and properties (`pass`), although it is completely possible. Now, when your custom `Person` class is created, you are ready to send data to Ignite server using its objects. The client will implicitly register your class as soon as the first Complex object is sent. If you intend to use your custom class for reading existing Complex objects' values before all, you must register said class explicitly with your client: .. literalinclude:: ../examples/binary_basics.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 48 Now, when we dealt with the basics of `pyignite` implementation of Complex Objects, let us move on to more elaborate examples. .. _sql_cache_read: Read ==== File: `read_binary.py`_. Ignite SQL uses Complex objects internally to represent keys and rows in SQL tables. Normally SQL data is accessed via queries (see `SQL`_), so we will consider the following example solely for the demonstration of how Binary objects (not Ignite SQL) work. In the :ref:`previous examples ` we have created some SQL tables. Let us do it again and examine the Ignite storage afterwards. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/read_binary.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 49-51 We can see that Ignite created a cache for each of our tables. The caches are conveniently named using ‘`SQL__`’ pattern. Now let us examine a configuration of a cache that contains SQL data using a :py:attr:`~pyignite.cache.Cache.settings` property. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/read_binary.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 53-103 The values of `value_type_name` and `key_type_name` are names of the binary types. The `City` table's key fields are stored using `key_type_name` type, and the other fields − `value_type_name` type. Now when we have the cache, in which the SQL data resides, and the names of the key and value data types, we can read the data without using SQL functions and verify the correctness of the result. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/read_binary.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 106-115 What we see is a tuple of key and value, extracted from the cache. Both key and value are represent Complex objects. The dataclass names are the same as the `value_type_name` and `key_type_name` cache settings. The objects' fields correspond to the SQL query. .. _sql_cache_create: Create ====== File: `create_binary.py`_. Now, that we aware of the internal structure of the Ignite SQL storage, we can create a table and put data in it using only key-value functions. For example, let us create a table to register High School students: a rough equivalent of the following SQL DDL statement: :: CREATE TABLE Student ( sid CHAR(9), name VARCHAR(20), login CHAR(8), age INTEGER(11), gpa REAL ) These are the necessary steps to perform the task. 1. Create table cache. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/create_binary.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 31-69 2. Define Complex object data class. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/create_binary.py :language: python :lines: 21-26 3. Insert row. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/create_binary.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 71-75 Now let us make sure that our cache really can be used with SQL functions. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/create_binary.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 77-82 Note, however, that the cache we create can not be dropped with DDL command. It should be deleted as any other key-value cache. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/create_binary.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 84-91 Migrate ======= File: `migrate_binary.py`_. Suppose we have an accounting app that stores its data in key-value format. Our task would be to introduce the following changes to the original expense voucher's format and data: - rename `date` to `expense_date`, - add `report_date`, - set `report_date` to the current date if `reported` is True, None if False, - delete `reported`. First get the vouchers' cache. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/migrate_binary.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 109 If you do not store the schema of the Complex object in code, you can obtain it as a dataclass property with :py:meth:`~pyignite.client.Client.query_binary_type` method. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/migrate_binary.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :lines: 115-119 Let us modify the schema and create a new Complex object class with an updated schema. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/migrate_binary.py :language: python :lines: 121-137 Now migrate the data from the old schema to the new one. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/migrate_binary.py :language: python :lines: 140-190 At this moment all the fields, defined in both of our schemas, can be available in the resulting binary object, depending on which schema was used when writing it using :py:meth:`~pyignite.cache.Cache.put` or similar methods. Ignite Binary API do not have the method to delete Complex object schema; all the schemas ever defined will stay in cluster until its shutdown. This versioning mechanism is quite simple and robust, but it have its limitations. The main thing is: you can not change the type of the existing field. If you try, you will be greeted with the following message: ```org.apache.ignite.binary.BinaryObjectException: Wrong value has been set [typeName=SomeType, fieldName=f1, fieldType=String, assignedValueType=int]``` As an alternative, you can rename the field or create a new Complex object. Failover -------- File: `failover.py`_. When connection to the server is broken or timed out, :class:`~pyignite.client.Client` object propagates an original exception (`OSError` or `SocketError`), but keeps its constructor's parameters intact and tries to reconnect transparently. When :class:`~pyignite.client.Client` detects that all nodes in the list are failed without the possibility of restoring connection, it raises a special :class:`~pyignite.exceptions.ReconnectError` exception. Gather 3 Ignite nodes on `localhost` into one cluster and run: .. literalinclude:: ../examples/failover.py :language: python :lines: 16-52 Then try shutting down and restarting nodes, and see what happens. .. literalinclude:: ../examples/failover.py :language: python :lines: 54-66 Client reconnection do not require an explicit user action, like calling a special method or resetting a parameter. It means that instead of checking the connection status it is better for `pyignite` user to just try the supposed data operations and catch the resulting exception. SSL/TLS ------- There are some special requirements for testing SSL connectivity. The Ignite server must be configured for securing the binary protocol port. The server configuration process can be split up into these basic steps: 1. Create a key store and a trust store using `Java keytool`_. When creating the trust store, you will probably need a client X.509 certificate. You will also need to export the server X.509 certificate to include in the client chain of trust. 2. Turn on the `SslContextFactory` for your Ignite cluster according to this document: `Securing Connection Between Nodes`_. 3. Tell Ignite to encrypt data on its thin client port, using the settings for `ClientConnectorConfiguration`_. If you only want to encrypt connection, not to validate client's certificate, set `sslClientAuth` property to `false`. You'll still have to set up the trust store on step 1 though. Client SSL settings is summarized here: :class:`~pyignite.client.Client`. To use the SSL encryption without certificate validation just `use_ssl`. .. code-block:: python3 from pyignite import Client client = Client(use_ssl=True) client.connect('127.0.0.1', 10800) To identify the client, create an SSL keypair and a certificate with `openssl`_ command and use them in this manner: .. code-block:: python3 from pyignite import Client client = Client( use_ssl=True, ssl_keyfile='etc/.ssl/keyfile.key', ssl_certfile='etc/.ssl/certfile.crt', ) client.connect('ignite-example.com', 10800) To check the authenticity of the server, get the server certificate or certificate chain and provide its path in the `ssl_ca_certfile` parameter. .. code-block:: python3 import ssl from pyignite import Client client = Client( use_ssl=True, ssl_ca_certfile='etc/.ssl/ca_certs', ssl_cert_reqs=ssl.CERT_REQUIRED, ) client.connect('ignite-example.com', 10800) You can also provide such parameters as the set of ciphers (`ssl_ciphers`) and the SSL version (`ssl_version`), if the defaults (:py:obj:`ssl._DEFAULT_CIPHERS` and TLS 1.1) do not suit you. Password authentication ----------------------- To authenticate you must set `authenticationEnabled` property to `true` and enable persistance in Ignite XML configuration file, as described in `Authentication`_ section of Ignite documentation. Be advised that sending credentials over the open channel is greatly discouraged, since they can be easily intercepted. Supplying credentials automatically turns SSL on from the client side. It is highly recommended to secure the connection to the Ignite server, as described in `SSL/TLS`_ example, in order to use password authentication. Then just supply `username` and `password` parameters to :class:`~pyignite.client.Client` constructor. .. code-block:: python3 from pyignite import Client client = Client(username='ignite', password='ignite') client.connect('ignite-example.com', 10800) If you still do not wish to secure the connection is spite of the warning, then disable SSL explicitly on creating the client object: .. code-block:: python3 client = Client(username='ignite', password='ignite', use_ssl=False) Note, that it is not possible for Ignite thin client to obtain the cluster's authentication settings through the binary protocol. Unexpected credentials are simply ignored by the server. In the opposite case, the user is greeted with the following message: .. code-block:: python3 # pyignite.exceptions.HandshakeError: Handshake error: Unauthenticated sessions are prohibited. .. _get_and_put.py: https://github.com/apache/ignite-python-thin-client/blob/master/examples/get_and_put.py .. _async_key_value.py: https://github.com/apache/ignite-python-thin-client/blob/master/examples/async_key_value.py .. _type_hints.py: https://github.com/apache/ignite-python-thin-client/blob/master/examples/type_hints.py .. _failover.py: https://github.com/apache/ignite-python-thin-client/blob/master/examples/failover.py .. _scans.py: https://github.com/apache/ignite-python-thin-client/blob/master/examples/scans.py .. _expiry_policy.py: https://github.com/apache/ignite-python-thin-client/blob/master/examples/expiry_policy.py .. _sql.py: https://github.com/apache/ignite-python-thin-client/blob/master/examples/sql.py .. _async_sql.py: https://github.com/apache/ignite-python-thin-client/blob/master/examples/async_sql.py .. _binary_basics.py: https://github.com/apache/ignite-python-thin-client/blob/master/examples/binary_basics.py .. _read_binary.py: https://github.com/apache/ignite-python-thin-client/blob/master/examples/read_binary.py .. _create_binary.py: https://github.com/apache/ignite-python-thin-client/blob/master/examples/create_binary.py .. _migrate_binary.py: https://github.com/apache/ignite-python-thin-client/blob/master/examples/migrate_binary.py .. _transactions.py: https://github.com/apache/ignite-python-thin-client/blob/master/examples/transactions.py .. _Getting Started: https://ignite.apache.org/docs/latest/thin-clients/python-thin-client .. _PyIgnite GitHub repository: https://github.com/apache/ignite-python-thin-client/blob/master .. _Complex object: https://ignite.apache.org/docs/latest/binary-client-protocol/data-format#complex-object .. _Java keytool: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/keytool.html .. _Securing Connection Between Nodes: https://ignite.apache.org/docs/latest/security/ssl-tls#ssltls-for-nodes .. _ClientConnectorConfiguration: https://ignite.apache.org/releases/latest/javadoc/org/apache/ignite/configuration/ClientConnectorConfiguration.html .. _openssl: https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man1/openssl.html .. _Authentication: https://ignite.apache.org/docs/latest/security/authentication .. _attrs: https://pypi.org/project/attrs/ .. _get_and_put_complex.py: https://github.com/apache/ignite-python-thin-client/blob/master/examples/get_and_put.py .. _Collection: https://ignite.apache.org/docs/latest/binary-client-protocol/data-format#collection .. _simple class names: https://ignite.apache.org/docs/latest/data-modeling/binary-marshaller#binary-name-mapper-and-binary-id-mapper
