Using Apache Ignite from a Rust Agent

SkillDatabases & data

Using golem:rdbms/ignite2 from a Rust Golem agent. Use when the user asks to connect to Apache Ignite 2, run SQL over Ignite, or use Ignite from Rust agent code.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Using Apache Ignite from a Rust Agent skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by golemcloud/golem in golem-skills/skills/rust/golem-add-ignite-rust/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

golem-rust already exposes the host bindings for golem:rdbms/ignite2@1.5.0, so you do not need an extra crate.

Imports

use golem_rust::bindings::golem::rdbms::ignite2::{
    DbConnection,
    DbValue,
};

Open a Connection

Ignite uses thin-client URLs like ignite://host:10800.

let conn = DbConnection::open("ignite://127.0.0.1:10800")
    .map_err(|err| format!("{err:?}"))?;

If the user asks for a method that returns a plain String, keep the public method signature as String and handle host errors inside the method with expect(...) or panic!(...) rather than changing the signature to Result<String, _>.

Query Data

Ignite placeholders use ?.

let result = conn
    .query(
        "SELECT ?",
        vec![DbValue::DbString("hello".to_string())],
    )
    .map_err(|err| format!("{err:?}"))?;

let row = result.rows.first().ok_or("query returned no rows")?;
let value = row.values.first().ok_or("query returned no columns")?;

let message = match value {
    DbValue::DbString(value) => value.clone(),
    other => return Err(format!("unexpected Ignite value: {other:?}")),
};

Execute Statements

conn.execute(
    r#"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS notes (
           id INT PRIMARY KEY,
           body VARCHAR
       ) WITH "CACHE_NAME=notes""#,
    vec![],
)
.map_err(|err| format!("{err:?}"))?;

When creating Ignite tables through SQL, include WITH "CACHE_NAME=...".

Transactions

let tx = conn.begin_transaction().map_err(|err| format!("{err:?}"))?;

tx.execute(
    "INSERT INTO notes (id, body) VALUES (?, ?)",
    vec![DbValue::DbInt(1), DbValue::DbString("hello".to_string())],
)
.map_err(|err| format!("{err:?}"))?;

tx.commit().map_err(|err| format!("{err:?}"))?;

If you need transactional tables, create them with ATOMICITY=TRANSACTIONAL in the table options.
