Mar 1, 2026March 2026 focused on stabilizing Ignite's distributed messaging and discovery stack, boosting reliability and observability. Delivered a comprehensive MessageSerializer-based and v2 messaging refresh across core discovery and storage paths, including TcpConnectionRequestDiscoveryMessage, TcpDiscoveryClientReconnectMessage (v3/codegen), TcpDiscoveryNodeAddedMessage (v2), GridDeploymentRequest (v2), GridIoMessage, GridEventStorageMessage, and discovery collections. Adopted MarshallableMessage for GridIoMessage/GridEventStorageMessage v2 and added a utility discovery collection message to streamline messaging. Fixed a critical cache concurrency bug and enhanced page eviction to prevent data loss under high contention, while introducing metrics for snapshot checks to improve visibility and troubleshooting. Additional serialization improvements include GridDeploymentRequest v2 serialization revamp and enabling TcpDiscoveryNode to implement message v2 to improve node join readiness. Overall impact: higher reliability, performance, and observability for large Ignite clusters.
