## Interface IgniteClient

- All Superinterfaces:
    AutoCloseable

      public interface IgniteClient
      extends AutoCloseable

  Ignite thin client.

  Unlike Ignite client nodes, thin clients do not start Ignite infrastructure and communicate with Ignite cluster over a fast and lightweight protocol.
