:page-source: components/camel-ignite/src/main/docs/ignite-cache-component.adoc

*Available as of Camel version 2.17*


The Ignite Cache endpoint is one of camel-ignite endpoints which allows you to interact with an https://apacheignite.readme.io/docs/data-grid[Ignite Cache].
This offers both a Producer (to invoke cache operations on an Ignite cache) and a Consumer (to consume changes from a continuous query).

The cache value is always the body of the message, whereas the cache key is always stored in the `IgniteConstants.IGNITE_CACHE_KEY` message header.

Even if you configure a fixed operation in the endpoint URI, you can vary it per-exchange by setting the `IgniteConstants.IGNITE_CACHE_OPERATION` message header.

== Options

// component options: START
The Ignite Cache component supports 4 options, which are listed below.



[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *ignite* (common) | Sets the Ignite instance. |  | Ignite
| *configurationResource* (common) | Sets the resource from where to load the configuration. It can be a: URI, String (URI) or an InputStream. |  | Object
| *igniteConfiguration* (common) | Allows the user to set a programmatic IgniteConfiguration. |  | IgniteConfiguration
| *resolveProperty Placeholders* (advanced) | Whether the component should resolve property placeholders on itself when starting. Only properties which are of String type can use property placeholders. | true | boolean

// component options: END

// endpoint options: START
The Ignite Cache endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

----
ignite-cache:cacheName
----

with the following path and query parameters:

=== Path Parameters (1 parameters):


[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *cacheName* | *Required* The cache name. |  | String
|===


=== Query Parameters (16 parameters):


[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *propagateIncomingBodyIfNo ReturnValue* (common) | Sets whether to propagate the incoming body if the return type of the underlying Ignite operation is void. | true | boolean
| *treatCollectionsAsCache Objects* (common) | Sets whether to treat Collections as cache objects or as Collections of items to insert/update/compute, etc. | false | boolean
| *autoUnsubscribe* (consumer) | Whether auto unsubscribe is enabled in the Continuous Query Consumer. | true | boolean
| *bridgeErrorHandler* (consumer) | Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. | false | boolean
| *fireExistingQueryResults* (consumer) | Whether to process existing results that match the query. Used on initialization of the Continuous Query Consumer. | false | boolean
| *oneExchangePerUpdate* (consumer) | Whether to pack each update in an individual Exchange, even if multiple updates are received in one batch. Only used by the Continuous Query Consumer. | true | boolean
| *pageSize* (consumer) | The page size. Only used by the Continuous Query Consumer. | 1 | int
| *query* (consumer) | The Query to execute, only needed for operations that require it, and for the Continuous Query Consumer. |  | Query
| *remoteFilter* (consumer) | The remote filter, only used by the Continuous Query Consumer. |  | CacheEntryEvent SerializableFilter
| *timeInterval* (consumer) | The time interval for the Continuous Query Consumer. | 0 | long
| *exceptionHandler* (consumer) | To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this option is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. |  | ExceptionHandler
| *exchangePattern* (consumer) | Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange. |  | ExchangePattern
| *cachePeekMode* (producer) | The CachePeekMode, only needed for operations that require it (IgniteCacheOperation#SIZE). | ALL | CachePeekMode
| *failIfInexistentCache* (producer) | Whether to fail the initialization if the cache doesn't exist. | false | boolean
| *operation* (producer) | The cache operation to invoke. Possible values: GET, PUT, REMOVE, SIZE, REBALANCE, QUERY, CLEAR. |  | IgniteCacheOperation
| *synchronous* (advanced) | Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported). | false | boolean

// spring-boot-auto-configure options: START
== Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

[source,xml]
----
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-ignite-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
----


The component supports 5 options, which are listed below.



[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *camel.component.ignite-cache.configuration-resource* | Sets the resource from where to load the configuration. It can be a: URI, String (URI) or an InputStream. The option is a java.lang.Object type. |  | String
| *camel.component.ignite-cache.enabled* | Enable ignite-cache component | true | Boolean
| *camel.component.ignite-cache.ignite* | Sets the Ignite instance. The option is a org.apache.ignite.Ignite type. |  | String
| *camel.component.ignite-cache.ignite-configuration* | Allows the user to set a programmatic IgniteConfiguration. The option is a org.apache.ignite.configuration.IgniteConfiguration type. |  | String
| *camel.component.ignite-cache.resolve-property-placeholders* | Whether the component should resolve property placeholders on itself when starting. Only properties which are of String type can use property placeholders. | true | Boolean

=== Headers used

This endpoint uses the following headers:
[width="100%",cols="1,1,1,4",options="header"]
|=======================================================================
| Header name | Constant | Expected type | Description
| CamelIgniteCacheKey | IgniteConstants.IGNITE_CACHE_KEY | String |
The cache key for the entry value in the message body.

| CamelIgniteCacheQuery | IgniteConstants.IGNITE_CACHE_QUERY | Query |
The query to run (producer) when invoking the QUERY operation.

| CamelIgniteCacheOperation | IgniteConstants.IGNITE_CACHE_OPERATION | IgniteCacheOperation enum |
Allows you to dynamically change the cache operation to execute (producer).

| CamelIgniteCachePeekMode | IgniteConstants.IGNITE_CACHE_PEEK_MODE | CachePeekMode enum |
Allows you to dynamically change the cache peek mode when running the SIZE operation.

| CamelIgniteCacheEventType | IgniteConstants.IGNITE_CACHE_EVENT_TYPE | int (EventType constants) |
This header carries the received event type when using the continuous query consumer.

| CamelIgniteCacheName | IgniteConstants.IGNITE_CACHE_NAME | String |
This header carries the cache name for which a continuous query event was received (consumer).
It does not allow you to dynamically change the cache against which a producer operation is performed. Use EIPs for that (e.g. recipient list, dynamic router).

| CamelIgniteCacheOldValue | IgniteConstants.IGNITE_CACHE_OLD_VALUE | Object |
This header carries the old cache value when passed in the incoming cache event (consumer).
