The API provided by the thin client is located under the ignite::thin namespace.The main entry point to the API is the IgniteClient::Start(IgniteClientConfiguration) method, which returns an instance of the client.
Without partition awareness, an application that is connected to the cluster via a thin client executes all queries and operations via a single server node that acts as a proxy for the incoming requests.These operations are then re-routed to the node that stores the data that is being requested.This results in a bottleneck that could prevent the application from scaling linearly.
