Configuring Queues
Hazelcast distributed queue is an implementation of java.util.concurrent.BlockingQueue. Being distributed, Hazelcast distributed queue enables all cluster members to interact with it. Using Hazelcast distributed queue, you can add an item in one cluster member and remove it from another one. You can create and configure queue using the Queue custom resource.
Configuring a Queue Resource
You can use any of the following configuration options in the Queue resource. For more information, see the API Reference.

The following Queue custom resource creates a queue configuration for the Hazelcast custom resource that is defined in the hazelcastResourceName field.
apiVersion: hazelcast.com/v1alpha1
kind: Queue
metadata:
name: queue-sample
spec:
hazelcastResourceName: hazelcast
backupCount: 1
asyncBackupCount: 0
emptyQueueTTLSeconds: -1
maxSize: 0
priorityComparatorClassName: "com.hazelcast.collection.impl.queue.model.PriorityElementComparator"After creating the Queue resource, use the following command to check its status:
kubectl get queue queue-sample -o wideNAME STATUS HAZELCAST-RESOURCE MESSAGE
queue-sample Success hazelcast
