## Class Ignition

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.ignite.Ignition

-     public class Ignition
      extends Object

  This class defines a factory for the main Ignite API. It controls Grid life cycle and allows listening for grid events.

  # Grid Loaders

  Although user can apply grid factory directly to start and stop grid, grid is often started and stopped by grid loaders. Grid loaders can be found in `org.apache.ignite.startup` package, for example:
  - `CommandLineStartup`
  - `ServletStartup`

  # Examples

  Use `start()` method to start grid with default configuration. You can also use `IgniteConfiguration` to override some default configuration. Below is an example on how to start grid with custom configuration for URI deployment.

       IgniteConfiguration cfg = new IgniteConfiguration();

       GridUriDeployment deploySpi = new GridUriDeployment();

       deploySpi.setUriList(Collections.singletonList("classes://tmp/output/classes"));

       cfg.setDeploymentSpi(deploySpi);

       Ignition.start(cfg);

  Here is how a grid instance can be configured from Spring XML configuration file. The example below configures a grid instance with additional user attributes (see `ClusterNode.attributes()`) and specifies a Ignite instance name:

       <bean id="grid.cfg" class="org.apache.ignite.configuration.IgniteConfiguration">
           ...
           <property name="igniteInstanceName" value="grid"/>
           <property name="userAttributes">
               <map>
                   <entry key="group" value="worker"/>
               </map>
           </property>
           ...
       </bean>

  A grid instance with Spring configuration above can be started as following. Note that you do not need to pass path to Spring XML file if you are using `IGNITE_HOME/config/default-config.xml`. Also note, that the path can be absolute or relative to IGNITE_HOME.

       ...
       Ignition.start("/path/to/spring/xml/file.xml");
       ...

  You can also instantiate grid directly from Spring without using `Ignition`. For more information refer to `IgniteSpringBean` documentation.

    - #### RESTART_EXIT_CODE

          public static final int RESTART_EXIT_CODE

      This is restart code that can be used by external tools, like Shell scripts, to auto-restart the Ignite JVM process. Note that there is no standard way for a JVM to restart itself from Java application and therefore we rely on external tools to provide that capability.

      Note that standard `ignite.{sh|bat}` scripts support restarting when JVM process exits with this code.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setDaemon

          public static void setDaemon(boolean daemon)

      Sets daemon flag.

      If daemon flag is set then all grid instances created by the factory will be daemon, i.e. the local node for these instances will be a daemon node. Note that if daemon flag is set - it will override the same settings in `IgniteConfiguration.isDaemon()`. Note that you can set on and off daemon flag at will.

      Parameters:
        `daemon` - Daemon flag to set.

    - #### isDaemon

          public static boolean isDaemon()

      Gets daemon flag.

      If daemon flag it set then all grid instances created by the factory will be daemon, i.e. the local node for these instances will be a daemon node. Note that if daemon flag is set - it will override the same settings in `IgniteConfiguration.isDaemon()`. Note that you can set on and off daemon flag at will.

      Returns:
        Daemon flag.

    - #### setClientMode

          public static void setClientMode(boolean clientMode)

      Sets client mode thread-local flag.

      This flag used when node is started if `IgniteConfiguration.isClientMode()` is `null`. When `IgniteConfiguration.isClientMode()` is set this flag is ignored.

      Parameters:
        `clientMode` - Client mode flag.
      See Also:
        `IgniteConfiguration.isClientMode()`

    - #### isClientMode

          public static boolean isClientMode()

      Gets client mode thread-local flag.

      This flag used when node is started if `IgniteConfiguration.isClientMode()` is `null`. When `IgniteConfiguration.isClientMode()` is set this flag is ignored.

      Returns:
        Client mode flag.
      See Also:
        `IgniteConfiguration.isClientMode()`

    - #### state

          public static IgniteState state()

      Gets state of grid default grid.
      Returns:
        Default grid state.

    - #### state

          public static IgniteState state(@Nullable
                                          @Nullable String name)

      Gets states of named Ignite instance. If name is `null`, then state of default no-name Ignite instance is returned.
      Parameters:
        `name` - Ignite instance name. If name is `null`, then state of default no-name Ignite instance is returned.
      Returns:
        Ignite instance state.

    - #### stop

          public static boolean stop(boolean cancel)

      Stops default grid. This method is identical to `G.stop(null, cancel)` apply. Note that method does not wait for all tasks to be completed.
      Parameters:
        `cancel` - If `true` then all jobs currently executing on default grid will be cancelled by calling `ComputeJob.cancel()` method. Note that just like with `Thread.interrupt()`, it is up to the actual job to exit from execution
      Returns:
        `true` if default grid instance was indeed stopped, `false` otherwise (if it was not started).

    - #### stop

          public static boolean stop(String name,
                                     boolean cancel)

      Stops named Ignite instance. If `cancel` flag is set to `true` then all jobs currently executing on local node will be interrupted. If Ignite instance name is `null`, then default no-name Ignite instance will be stopped. If wait parameter is set to `true` then Ignite instance will wait for all tasks to be finished.
      Parameters:
        `name` - Ignite instance name. If `null`, then default no-name Ignite instance will be stopped.
        `cancel` - If `true` then all jobs currently will be cancelled by calling `ComputeJob.cancel()` method. Note that just like with `Thread.interrupt()`, it is up to the actual job to exit from execution. If `false`, then jobs currently running will not be canceled. In either case, grid node will wait for completion of all jobs running on it before stopping.
      Returns:
        `true` if named Ignite instance was indeed found and stopped, `false` otherwise (the instance with given `name` was not found).

    - #### stopAll

          public static void stopAll(boolean cancel)

      Stops all started grids in current JVM. If `cancel` flag is set to `true` then all jobs currently executing on local node will be interrupted. If wait parameter is set to `true` then grid will wait for all tasks to be finished.

      Note: it is usually safer and more appropriate to stop grid instances individually instead of blanket operation. In most cases, the party that started the grid instance should be responsible for stopping it.

      Parameters:
        `cancel` - If `true` then all jobs currently executing on all grids will be cancelled by calling `ComputeJob.cancel()` method. Note that just like with `Thread.interrupt()`, it is up to the actual job to exit from execution

    - #### restart

          public static void restart(boolean cancel)

      Restarts all started grids. If `cancel` flag is set to `true` then all jobs currently executing on the local node will be interrupted. If `wait` parameter is set to `true` then grid will wait for all tasks to be finished.

      Note: it is usually safer and more appropriate to stop grid instances individually instead of blanket operation. In most cases, the party that started the grid instance should be responsible for stopping it.

      Note also that restarting functionality only works with the tools that specifically support Ignite's protocol for restarting. Currently only standard `ignite.{sh|bat}` scripts support restarting of JVM Ignite's process.

      Parameters:
        `cancel` - If `true` then all jobs currently executing on all grids will be cancelled by calling `ComputeJob.cancel()` method. Note that just like with `Thread.interrupt()`, it is up to the actual job to exit from execution.
      See Also:
        `RESTART_EXIT_CODE`

    - #### kill

          public static void kill(boolean cancel)

      Stops all started grids. If `cancel` flag is set to `true` then all jobs currently executing on the local node will be interrupted. If `wait` parameter is set to `true` then grid will wait for all tasks to be finished.

      Note: it is usually safer and more appropriate to stop grid instances individually instead of blanket operation. In most cases, the party that started the grid instance should be responsible for stopping it.

      Note that upon completion of this method, the JVM with forcefully exist with exit code `KILL_EXIT_CODE`.

      Parameters:
        `cancel` - If `true` then all jobs currently executing on all grids will be cancelled by calling `ComputeJob.cancel()` method. Note that just like with `Thread.interrupt()`, it is up to the actual job to exit from execution.
      See Also:
        `KILL_EXIT_CODE`

                                      @Nullable String name)
                               throws IgniteIllegalStateException

      Gets a named Ignite instance. If Ignite instance name is `null` or empty string, then default no-name Ignite instance will be returned. Note that caller of this method should not assume that it will return the same instance every time.

      The name allows having multiple Ignite instances with different names within the same Java VM.

                                           IllegalArgumentException

      This method is used to address a local `Ignite` instance, principally from closure.

      According to contract this method has to be called only under `IgniteThread`. An `IllegalArgumentException` will be thrown otherwise.

      Returns:
        A current `Ignite` instance to address from closure.
      Throws:
        `IgniteIllegalStateException` - Thrown if grid was not properly initialized or grid instance was stopped or was not started

    - #### addListener

          public static void addListener(IgnitionListener lsnr)

      Adds a lsnr for grid life cycle events.

      Note that unlike other listeners in Ignite this listener will be notified from the same thread that triggers the state change. Because of that it is the responsibility of the user to make sure that listener logic is light-weight and properly handles (catches) any runtime exceptions, if any are expected.

      Parameters:
        `lsnr` - Listener for grid life cycle events. If this listener was already added this method is no-op.

    - #### removeListener

          public static boolean removeListener(IgnitionListener lsnr)

      Removes lsnr added by `addListener(IgnitionListener)` method.
      Parameters:
        `lsnr` - Listener to remove.
      Returns:
        `true` if lsnr was added before, `false` otherwise.

    - #### startClient

                                          throws ClientException

      Initializes new instance of `IgniteClient`.
      Parameters:
        `cfg` - Thin client configuration.
      Returns:
        Client with successfully opened thin client connection.
      Throws:
        `ClientException`
