This document provides an overview of Apache Ignite 1.5, an in-memory data fabric for high performance computing. It discusses key components including the distributed in-memory data grid, caching APIs, distributed SQL queries, off-heap storage, eviction policies, persistence, data rebalancing, and different types of cache queries. The data grid implements JCache and allows for distributed transactions on large datasets in real-time. It provides a unified architecture for distributed caching, processing, and analytics.
