Configuring Hazelcast using Asadmin

Payara Server Community supports configuring Hazelcast through the Admin Console and asadmin commands. The Hazelcast configuration file can also be directly edited, but will not be covered in depth in this section.

Configuration of Hazelcast is divided into four sections. The first section applies to the whole domain, the second section applies to specific configurations and therefore to Payara Server Community instances that use that configuration, the third section covers how certain settings can be specified when a domain is created and the final section covers how to configure config specific Data Grid Start Port during or after the creation of an instance.

Using a Hazelcast configuration file will cause the settings set via the Admin Console and asadmin commands to be ignored. Any parameters not specified in the configuration file reverting to the Hazelcast defaults, even if they are specified in the Admin Console or domain.xml (Note - the Hazelcast defaults are not necessarily the same as the Payara Hazelcast defaults).

Since 4.1.2.172 Payara Server uses its own serializer instead of the default Hazelcast one. Setting a global serializer will not override it. This was created to avoid a bug that causes ClassNotFoundException errors.

Setting a Hazelcast Configuration File

Hazelcast configuration file can be either set using Admin Console or asadmin CLI.

Setting a Hazelcast Configuration File with the Admin Console

To set the Hazelcast configuration from a Hazelcast Configuration file:

Select the domain Data Grid configuration from the page tree and click the Configuration tab to view the "Hazelcast Configuration" page:
On the Hazelcast Configuration page, add the path to your Hazelcast Configuration file and click "Save". This path is relative to your domain configuration directory:

Setting a Hazelcast Configuration File using asadmin

The set-hazelcast-configuration command can be used to set the configuration file:

asadmin> set-hazelcast-configuration --hazelcastconfigurationfile /path/to/file

As with the admin console, this path is relative to your domain configuration directory.

Configuring Domain Wide Hazelcast Settings with the Admin Console

Some Hazelcast configuration settings apply to the whole domain. Navigate to the _Data Grid page for the domain wide settings.

The following configuration options are available here:

Property	Description
Restart Data Grid	Determines if the Hazelcast member embedded in Payara will be restarted to apply any changes made
DAS Bind Address	Explicity specifies the IP Address the DAS should bind the Hazelcast instance to. By default, Hazelcast will try to choose the correct bind address from the IP addresses available on the host. If you find the DAS is binding to an incorrect IP Address the correct address can be specified here.
DAS Public Address	This is the public IP Address that the DAS should use if the DAS is behind a NAT firewall and other Payara Server Instances need to connect via the public NAT address rather than the internal IP Address
Auto Increment Port	By default the cluster uses the next unoccupied port that is available starting with the start port. When auto-increment is turned off an occupied start port results in a startup failure instead.
DAS Start Port	The port the DAS uses to run Hazelcast on. If this port is busy, the port specified will be incremented until a valid port is found.
Network Interfaces	Similar to DAS Bind address by default Hazelcast will choose the correct IP Address to bind to. If you find Hazelcast is binding to the incorrect address a comma separated list of IP Addresses can be specified here.
Override Configuration File	Specifies the Hazelcast configuration file to use. The path specified is relative to the domain config directory. If you are using a custom GlassFish server configuration for a cluster or standalone instance (e.g. cluster-config), then the Hazelcast configuration file should be placed in the directory with the same name (e.g. <domain-root>/config/cluster-config). This will ensure it is replicated to the node during startup. Using this option to point to a valid Hazelcast configuration file will cause all other options set to be ignored. Any options unset within the Hazelcast configuration file will be set to the Hazelcast defaults.
Data Grid Group Name	Specifies the Hazelcast group name, to be optionally used to help divide clusters into logical, segregated groups (i.e. dev-group, prod-group).
Data Grid Group Password	Specifies the password used to access the Hazelcast group.
Start Port	The port the other Payara Server instances use to run Hazelcast on. If this port is busy, the port specified will be incremented until a valid port is found.
License Key	Enables Hazelcast Enterprise features.
Host Aware Partitioning	Whether or not to enable host-aware partitioning for the cluster. Host aware partitioning must be enabled on all members of the cluster (including Payara Micro instances) for this feature to work correctly. This is default in Payara Server 5.181 onwards for both Payara Server domains and Payara Micro instances.
Data Grid Discovery Mode	See Discovery Modes

Property

Description

Restart Data Grid

Determines if the Hazelcast member embedded in Payara will be restarted to apply any changes made

DAS Bind Address

Explicity specifies the IP Address the DAS should bind the Hazelcast instance to. By default, Hazelcast will try to choose the correct bind address from the IP addresses available on the host. If you find the DAS is binding to an incorrect IP Address the correct address can be specified here.

DAS Public Address

This is the public IP Address that the DAS should use if the DAS is behind a NAT firewall and other Payara Server Instances need to connect via the public NAT address rather than the internal IP Address

Auto Increment Port

By default the cluster uses the next unoccupied port that is available starting with the start port. When auto-increment is turned off an occupied start port results in a startup failure instead.

DAS Start Port

The port the DAS uses to run Hazelcast on. If this port is busy, the port specified will be incremented until a valid port is found.

Network Interfaces

Similar to DAS Bind address by default Hazelcast will choose the correct IP Address to bind to. If you find Hazelcast is binding to the incorrect address a comma separated list of IP Addresses can be specified here.

Override Configuration File

Specifies the Hazelcast configuration file to use. The path specified is relative to the domain config directory.

If you are using a custom GlassFish server configuration for a cluster or standalone instance (e.g. cluster-config), then the Hazelcast configuration file should be placed in the directory with the same name (e.g. <domain-root>/config/cluster-config). This will ensure it is replicated to the node during startup.

Using this option to point to a valid Hazelcast configuration file will cause all other options set to be ignored. Any options unset within the Hazelcast configuration file will be set to the Hazelcast defaults.

Data Grid Group Name

Specifies the Hazelcast group name, to be optionally used to help divide clusters into logical, segregated groups (i.e. dev-group, prod-group).

Data Grid Group Password

Specifies the password used to access the Hazelcast group.

Start Port

The port the other Payara Server instances use to run Hazelcast on. If this port is busy, the port specified will be incremented until a valid port is found.

License Key

Enables Hazelcast Enterprise features.

Host Aware Partitioning

Whether or not to enable host-aware partitioning for the cluster. Host aware partitioning must be enabled on all members of the cluster (including Payara Micro instances) for this feature to work correctly. This is default in Payara Server 5.181 onwards for both Payara Server domains and Payara Micro instances.

Configuring Hazelcast on Domain Creation

Since Payara Server 5.194 and 5.193.2

The following options can be used with the create-domain command to specify certain Hazelcast settings when a domain is created:

Option Type Description Default Mandatory

Option	Type	Description	Default	Mandatory
`--hazelcastdasport`	Port Number	The port to run Hazelcast on for the DAS. If this port is busy and auto-increment option is enabled, the port specified will be incremented until a valid port is found.

`--hazelcaststartport`	Port Number	The port the other Payara Server instances use to run Hazelcast on. If this port is busy and auto-increment option is enabled, the port specified will be incremented until a valid port is found. The `--hazelcaststartport` option cannot be used with the `--portbase` option. The `--hazelcaststartport` option overrides the hazelcast.start.port property of the `--domainproperties` option.	5900	No
`--hazelcastautoincrement`	Boolean	By default the Data Grid uses the next unoccupied port that is available starting with the start port. When auto-increment is turned off an occupied start port results in a startup failure instead. The `--hazelcastautoincrement` option overrides the `hazelcast.auto.increment` property of the `--domainproperties` option.	5900	No

--hazelcastdasport

Port Number

The port to run Hazelcast on for the DAS. If this port is busy and auto-increment option is enabled, the port specified will be incremented until a valid port is found. The --hazelcastdasport option cannot be used with the --portbase option. The --hazelcastdasport option overrides the hazelcast.das.port property of the --domainproperties option.

4900

--hazelcaststartport

Port Number

The port the other Payara Server instances use to run Hazelcast on. If this port is busy and auto-increment option is enabled, the port specified will be incremented until a valid port is found. The --hazelcaststartport option cannot be used with the --portbase option. The --hazelcaststartport option overrides the hazelcast.start.port property of the --domainproperties option.

5900

--hazelcastautoincrement

Boolean

By default the Data Grid uses the next unoccupied port that is available starting with the start port. When auto-increment is turned off an occupied start port results in a startup failure instead. The --hazelcastautoincrement option overrides the hazelcast.auto.increment property of the --domainproperties option.

5900

The following domain properties have been added to the 'create-domain' command to make it possible to configure certain Hazelcast setting when a domain is created:

Property Description

Property	Description
`hazelcast.das.port`	This property specifies the port number of the port the DAS use to run Hazelcast on. The `hazelcast.das.port` property is overridden by the `--hazelcastdasport` option.
`hazelcast.start.port`	This property specifies the port number of the port the other Payara Server instances use to run Hazelcast on. The hazelcast.start.port property is overridden by the `--hazelcaststartport` option.
`hazelcast.auto.increment`	This property specifies whether or not to use the next unoccupied port that is available starting with the start port. When auto-increment is turned off an occupied start port results in a startup failure instead. The hazelcast.auto.increment property is overridden by the `--hazelcastautoincrement` option.

hazelcast.das.port

This property specifies the port number of the port the DAS use to run Hazelcast on. The hazelcast.das.port property is overridden by the --hazelcastdasport option.

hazelcast.start.port

This property specifies the port number of the port the other Payara Server instances use to run Hazelcast on. The hazelcast.start.port property is overridden by the --hazelcaststartport option.

hazelcast.auto.increment

This property specifies whether or not to use the next unoccupied port that is available starting with the start port. When auto-increment is turned off an occupied start port results in a startup failure instead. The hazelcast.auto.increment property is overridden by the --hazelcastautoincrement option.

If the portbase options are used, the values for the ports of the Hazelcast DAS start port and the Hazelcast start Port are calculated as follows: Hazelcast DAS start port: portbase + 49 and Hazelcast start port: portbase + 59.

The following examples demonstrate creating a domain with all of the Hazelcast related options:

Configuring Config Specific Data Grid Start Port

@Since Payara Server 5.194

It is possible to configure the port used by Hazelcast to bind the corresponding instance to the Data Grid by letting users set its value during or after the creation of an instance.

Configuring Config Specific Data Grid Start Port on Instance Creation

The following option can be used with the create-instance or the create-local-instance commands to specify config Specific Data Grid Start Port when an instance is created:

Option Type Description Default Mandatory

Option	Type	Description	Default	Mandatory
`--dataGridStartPort`	Port Number	Sets Data Grid Start Port to the instance. If set to 0 the Domain wide start port will be used instead	0	No

--dataGridStartPort

Port Number

Sets Data Grid Start Port to the instance. If set to 0 the Domain wide start port will be used instead

The following examples demonstrate creating an instance with --dataGridStartPort options:

An example of create-instance command:

asadmin> asadmin create-instance --dataGridStartPort 2900 --node localhost-domain1 instance1

Command _create-instance-filesystem executed successfully.
Port Assignments for server instance instance1:

Configuring Config Specific Data Grid Start Port After Instance Creation

Config Specific Data Grid Start Port can be either set using Admin Console or asadmin CLI after an instance has been created.

Setting Config Specific Data Grid Start Port with the Admin Console

Select the Configuration from the page tree, click on the relevant instance and finally click on the Data Grid.
On the Configuration Specific Data Grid Configuration, set your Data Grid Start Port and click Save.

Config Specific Data Grid Start Port Option

Setting a Config Specific Data Grid Start Port using asadmin CLI

The set-hazelcast-configuration command can be used to set the Config Specific Data Grid Start Port:

asadmin> set-hazelcast-configuration --dynamic=true --configSpecificDataGridStartPort=2900 --target=instance1-config

Configuring Hazelcast using Asadmin

As noted in the enable Hazelcast section, the set-hazelcast-configuration asadmin command is used to both enable/disable Hazelcast, and to configure it.
