hazelcast-client

Connecting to a Hazelcast Cluster has never been easier! Hazelcast::Client is a little gem that wraps the Java Hazelcast Client library into a more comfortable JRuby package.

Hazelcast is an open source clustering and highly scalable data distribution platform for Java, which is:

Lightning-fast; thousands of operations/sec.
Fail-safe; no losing data after crashes.
Dynamically scales as new servers added.
Super-easy to use; include a single jar.

Getting started

Let’s get the gem installed and test out the interactive console. Make sure you have a hazelcast cluster running in localhost and that is using the default username and password.

shell> rvm jruby
shell> gem install hazelcast-client
shell> hazelcast-client-console

hash = @client.map :test
hash[:a] = 1
hash[:b] = 2

Let’s open another console to check how this distributed hash works:

shell> hazelcast-client-console

hash = @client.map :test
hash[:a]

>> 1

Client

You can get your own client by providing the group name, password and hosts:

client = Hazelcast::Client.new 'dev', 'dev-pass', 'localhost'

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
