Diagram Distributed Apache Ignite Cache Schemas

Build a clearer workflow for Apache Ignite: reverse engineer existing schemas into interactive ER diagrams, model changes visually, and generate reviewed SQL scripts before deployment.

DbSchema is built for visual modeling, schema documentation, and deployment. Keep an offline model in Git, collaborate across teams, and publish documentation that developers, analysts, and stakeholders can navigate in minutes.

Visual Schema Browsing for Apache Ignite Distributed Caches

Apache Ignite is a distributed in-memory computing platform that exposes a SQL layer over partitioned key-value caches. Caches in Ignite are projected as SQL schemas and tables, enabling standard JDBC-based tooling to connect to the cluster and query distributed data. DbSchema connects via the Ignite JDBC thin driver, reads the cache-table mappings across the cluster, and renders them as an interactive entity-relationship diagram — giving your team a clear view of what data is stored and how the schema is structured across the distributed nodes.

ER Diagrams for Ignite Cache-Table Mappings

DbSchema reads the Ignite SQL catalog and displays cache-backed tables with their column definitions and primary key mappings on a visual canvas. This helps distributed systems teams audit the data model stored across an Ignite cluster without querying system views directly or parsing Ignite configuration XML.

Explore Ignite Cache Data Interactively

The DbSchema data explorer connects to Ignite and lets you browse, filter, and paginate through cache data exposed via the SQL layer. This provides a practical alternative to writing SELECT queries in the Ignite control center or Visor tool when you need to inspect specific data entries in a running cluster.

SQL Editor for Distributed Ignite Queries

DbSchema's SQL editor connects to Apache Ignite and supports its distributed SQL dialect, including collocated joins, distributed aggregations, and cross-cache queries. Run SQL against your Ignite cluster from a desktop GUI without deploying a separate Ignite client application or using the Ignite shell.

How to Connect DbSchema to an Ignite Cluster

1. Pick the DbSchema build for your platform and install it — the download asks for no account.
2. Download the Ignite JDBC thin driver from the Apache Ignite download page and add it to DbSchema via Connections > Manage Drivers.
3. Point a new connection at jdbc:ignite:thin://host:10800/schema, where 10800 is Ignite's default thin JDBC port.
4. For a multi-node cluster, list every address instead of one: jdbc:ignite:thin://host1,host2:10800/schema.
5. Connect — because the thin client driver does not embed an Ignite node in the client process, DbSchema connects the same way an external tool would, and immediately lists the cache-backed tables.

What You Get Pairing DbSchema with Apache Ignite

• Visualize Ignite cache-table SQL mappings as an interactive schema diagram
• Run distributed SQL queries against Ignite from a desktop client
• Browse and filter cache data through the data explorer without writing queries
• Document the Ignite SQL schema for distributed systems and backend teams
• Connect to multi-node Ignite clusters using the JDBC thin driver with failover addresses
