## Interface DeploymentSpi

All Superinterfaces:
  IgniteSpi

All Known Implementing Classes:
  LocalDeploymentSpi

    public interface DeploymentSpi
    extends IgniteSpi

Grid deployment SPI is in charge of deploying tasks and classes from different sources.

Class loaders that are in charge of loading task classes (and other classes) can be deployed directly by calling `register(ClassLoader, Class)` method or by SPI itself, for example by asynchronously scanning some folder for new tasks. When method `findResource(String)` is called by the system, SPI must return a class loader associated with given class. Every time a class loader gets (re)deployed or released, callbacks `DeploymentListener.onUnregistered(ClassLoader)`} must be called by SPI.

If peer class loading is enabled (which is default behavior, see `IgniteConfiguration.isPeerClassLoadingEnabled()`), then it is usually enough to deploy class loader only on one grid node. Once a task starts executing on the grid, all other nodes will automatically load all task classes from the node that initiated the execution. Hot redeployment is also supported with peer class loading. Every time a task changes and gets redeployed on a node, all other nodes will detect it and will redeploy this task as well. Note that peer class loading comes into effect only if a task was not locally deployed, otherwise, preference will always be given to local deployment.

Ignite provides the following `GridDeploymentSpi` implementations:

- `LocalDeploymentSpi`
- `UriDeploymentSpi`

NOTE: this SPI (i.e. methods in this interface) should never be used directly. SPIs provide internal view on the subsystem and is used internally by Ignite kernal. In rare use cases when access to a specific implementation of this SPI is required - an instance of this SPI can be obtained via `Ignite.configuration()` method to check its configuration properties or call other non-SPI methods. Note again that calling methods from this interface on the obtained instance can lead to undefined behavior and explicitly not supported.

### Method Summary

Methods
`DeploymentResource` `findResource(String rsrcName)` Finds class loader for the given class.
`boolean` `register(ClassLoader ldr, Class<?> rsrc)` Registers a class loader with this SPI.
`void` `setListener(DeploymentListener lsnr)` Sets or unsets deployment event listener.
`boolean` `unregister(String rsrcName)` Unregisters all class loaders that have a class with given name or have a class with give `ComputeTaskName` value.

### Method Detail

#### findResource

    DeploymentResource findResource(String rsrcName)

Finds class loader for the given class.

Parameters:
  `rsrcName` - Class name or class alias to find class loader for.
Returns:
  Deployed class loader, or `null` if not deployed.

#### register

    boolean register(ClassLoader ldr,
                   Class<?> rsrc)
                     throws IgniteSpiException

Registers a class loader with this SPI. This method exists to be able to add external class loaders to deployment SPI. Deployment SPI may also have its own class loaders. For example, in case of GAR deployment, every GAR file is loaded and deployed with a separate class loader maintained internally by the SPI.

The array of classes passed in should be checked for presence of `ComputeTaskName` annotations. The classes that have this annotation should be accessible by this name from `findResource(String)` method.

Parameters:
  `ldr` - Class loader to register.
  `rsrc` - Class that should be checked for aliases. Currently the only alias in the system is `ComputeTaskName` for task classes; in future, there may be others.
Returns:
  `True` if resource was registered.
Throws:
  `IgniteSpiException` - If registration failed.

#### unregister

    boolean unregister(String rsrcName)

Unregisters all class loaders that have a class with given name or have a class with give `ComputeTaskName` value.

Parameters:
  `rsrcName` - Either class name or `ComputeTaskName` value for a class whose class loader needs to be unregistered.
Returns:
  `True` if resource was unregistered.

#### setListener

    void setListener(@Nullable
                   DeploymentListener lsnr)

Sets or unsets deployment event listener. Grid implementation will use this listener to properly add and remove various deployments.

Parameters:
  `lsnr` - Listener for deployment events. `null` to unset the listener.
