Interface Cluster.Initializer

All Known Implementing Classes:

Cluster.Builder

Enclosing class:

Cluster

public static interface Cluster.Initializer

Initializer for Cluster instances.

If you want to create a new Cluster instance programmatically, then it is advised to use Cluster.Builder which can be obtained from the Cluster.builder() method.

But it is also possible to implement a custom Initializer that retrieves initialization from a web-service or from a configuration file.
