A new press release reports, “GridGain Systems, provider of enterprise-grade in-memory computing platform solutions based on Apache® Ignite™, today announced GridGain 8.1. The solution expands the bounds of in-memory computing with a new memory-centric architecture, which leverages ongoing advancements in memory and storage technologies to provide distributed in-memory computing performance with the cost and durability of disk storage. GridGain 8.1 extends the unique SQL capabilities of the GridGain platform, with expanded SQL Data Definition Language (DDL) capabilities added to its existing DML and ACID transaction support. The new release provides optimal performance on hybrid memory/disk infrastructures using a new Persistent Store feature. For organizations using Persistent Store in production, the new GridGain Ultimate Edition includes a cluster snapshot backup feature, which is highly recommended when utilizing the memory-centric architecture in mission-critical environments.”

The release goes on, “DDL support was announced in the previous version of GridGain, including the ability to create and drop SQL indexes in runtime. Now users can manage caches and SQL schema with commands like CREATE and DROP table. This provides the ability to connect to GridGain using JDBC or ODBC drivers and fully configure the cluster using those well-known DDL statements. This eliminates the need to deal with Spring XML, Java or .NET-specific configuration options for the cluster. Instead, users can now communicate with the ANSI SQL-99 compliant GridGain platform using standard DDL and DML commands.”
