Hazelcast IMDG Standard Support has expired. Extended support for version 4.1 ends in April 2024. Extended support for version 4.2 ends in September 2024.

We recommend that you try Hazelcast Platform.

In Hazelcast Platform, we’ve combined the in-memory storage of IMDG with the stream processing power of Jet. Find out more in our Platform documentation.

The following topics are a good place to start:

Using the REST Endpoint Groups

4.2 4.1 4.0 3.12 3.11 3.10 3.9 3.8 3.7 3.6 3.5

Hazelcast members exposes various REST endpoints and these are grouped. REST endpoint groups are as follows:

  • CLUSTER_READ

  • CLUSTER_WRITE

  • HEALTH_CHECK

  • HOT_RESTART

  • WAN

  • DATA

  • CP

Using the REST service is disabled by default. To be able to use the REST endpoints, you need to enable the REST API as follows:

  • XML

  • YAML

<hazelcast>
    ...
    <network>
        <rest-api enabled="true">
        ...
        </rest-api>
    </network>
    ...
</hazelcast>
hazelcast:
  network:
    rest-api:
      enabled: true

The following table lists all the endpoints along with the groups they belong to.

You can enable or disable any REST endpoint group using the following declarative configuration (HEALTH_CHECK group is used as an example):

  • XML

  • YAML

<hazelcast>
    ...
    <network>
        <rest-api enabled="true">
            <endpoint-group name="HEALTH_CHECK" enabled="false"/>
        </rest-api>
    </network>
    ...
</hazelcast>
hazelcast:
  network:
    rest-api:
      enabled: true
      endpoint-groups:
        HEALTH_CHECK
          enabled: false

The following is the equivalent programmatic configuration:

RestApiConfig restApiConfig = new RestApiConfig()
        .setEnabled(true)
        .disableGroups(RestEndpointGroup.HEALTH_CHECK);
Config config = new Config();
config.getNetworkConfig().setRestApiConfig(restApiConfig);

Alternatively, you can also use the advanced-network element for the same purpose:

  • XML

  • YAML

<hazelcast>
    ...
    <advanced-network enabled="true">
        <rest-server-socket-endpoint-config>
            <endpoint-groups>
                <endpoint-group name="HEALTH_CHECK" enabled="false"/>
            </endpoint-groups>
        </rest-server-socket-endpoint-config>
    </advanced-network>
    ...
</hazelcast>
hazelcast:
  advanced-network:
    enabled: true
    rest-server-socket-endpoint-config:
      endpoint-groups:
        HEALTH_CHECK:
          enabled: false

And the following is the equivalent programmatic configuration:

RestServerEndpointConfig restServerEndpointConfig = new RestServerEndpointConfig().disableGroups(RestEndpointGroup.HEALTH_CHECK);
Config config = new Config();
config.getAdvancedNetworkConfig()
      .setEnabled(true)
      .setRestEndpointConfig(restServerEndpointConfig);
See the Advanced Network Configuration section for more information on the advanced-network element.

When you enable or disable a REST endpoint group, all the endpoints in that group are enabled or disabled, respectively. For the examples above, we disabled the endpoints belonging to the HEALTH_CHECK endpoint group.

REST client does not check permissions, that you may configure for the other clients. If you set permissions for the REST API, keep in mind that they will not be enforced.
