Apache Ignite is an open source memory-centric distributed database, caching and comput- ing platform. From the beginning, it was designed as an in-memory data grid for developing a high-performance software system. So, it’s core architecture design is slightly different from the traditional NoSQL databases, which can simplify building modern applications with a flexible data model and simpler high availability, high scalability. Moreover, to understand how to design application with any databases or framework properly, you must understand the architecture of the database or framework itself. By getting a better idea of the system, you can solve different problems in your enterprise architecture landscape, can select a comprehensive database or framework that is appropriate for your application and get the maximum benefits from the system. In this article we are going to explore the Apache Ignite SQL engine. Under the hood, Apache Ignite uses H2 database for executing
