Accessing GemFire Regions from JRuby

Here is a quick demo showing how easy it is to access GemFire regions from JRuby clients. It's assumed you have cache servers started and in this example the cache servers and JRuby client use a locator for connection. It's worth noting the JRuby client is setup as a PROXY client with no client side cache.

Our cache server nodes use a config file as follows - server.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE cache PUBLIC
    "-//GemStone Systems, Inc.//GemFire Declarative Caching 6.6//EN" 
"http://www.gemstone.com/dtd/cache6_6.dtd">
<cache>
  <disk-store name="ds1" auto-compact="true" max-oplog-size="1024" queue-size="10000" time-interval="15">
 <disk-dirs>
  <disk-dir dir-size="4096">persistData</disk-dir>
 </disk-dirs>
  </disk-store>
  <region name="AllObjectRegion"> 
    <region-attributes refid="PARTITION_PERSISTENT" disk-store-name="ds1">
      <partition-attributes redundant-copies="1" />
      <eviction-attributes>
        <lru-heap-percentage action="overflow-to-disk" />
      </eviction-attributes>
    </region-attributes>
    <index name="ownerIdx">
      <functional from-clause="/AllObjectRegion" expression="owner"/>
    </index>
  </region>
  <function-service>
 <function>
   <class-name>vmware.au.se.demo.SizeFunction</class-name>
 </function>
  </function-service> 
  <resource-manager critical-heap-percentage="75" eviction-heap-percentage="65"/>
</cache>

Our JRuby client uses a client config as follows - client.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE client-cache PUBLIC
    "-//GemStone Systems, Inc.//GemFire Declarative Caching 6.6//EN" 
"http://www.gemstone.com/dtd/cache6_6.dtd"> 
<client-cache>
 <pool name="client" subscription-enabled="true">
     <locator host="localhost" port="41111"/>
 </pool>
 <!-- No cache storage in the client region because of the PROXY client region shortcut setting. -->
    <region name="AllObjectRegion">
  <region-attributes refid="PROXY" />
    </region>
    <resource-manager critical-heap-percentage="75" eviction-heap-percentage="65"/>
</client-cache> 

Our JRuby code is as follows - gemfire-caching-proxy-client.rb

require 'java'
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/lib/gemfire.jar'
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/lib/antlr.jar'
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/lib/gemfire-quickstart.jar'

import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.Iterator;

import "vmware.au.se.demo.domain.AllDBObject";

import com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.Region;
import com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.client.ClientCache;
import com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.client.ClientCacheFactory;
import com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.query.Query;
import com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.query.QueryService;
import com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.query.SelectResults;

puts "*********************************************************"
puts "GemFire 6.6 Proxy Client Example from JRUBY"
puts "*********************************************************"

print "Started at ", Time.now, "\n"

begin

 ccf = ClientCacheFactory.new
 ccf.set("cache-xml-file", "client.xml")
 cache = ccf.create
 
 allObjectRegion = cache.getRegion("AllObjectRegion")
 queryService = cache.getQueryService
 
 query = queryService.newQuery("SELECT * FROM /AllObjectRegion where owner = 'SCOTT'")
 print "\n** All OBJECTS with owner = 'SCOTT'\n"
 
 result = query.execute
 collection = result.asList
 iter = collection.iterator
 i = 0
 
 while iter.hasNext
   i = i + 1
   entry = iter.next
   print "Entry ", i , " : " , entry , " \n"
   
 end
 
    cache.close
    
rescue 
  print "\n** Error occured **\n"
  print "Failed to obtian data from gemfire region ", $!, "\n\n"
  
end

print "\nEnded at ", Time.now, "\n"

Output as follows

Note: Some of the gemfire output is omitted to make it a little more readable.
