Understanding the Hazelcast Client Shutdown Issue on MacOS

If you're a developer using Hazelcast in your Spring Boot applications on MacOS, you may have encountered a frustrating problem: your Hazelcast client shuts down unexpectedly when starting the Hazelcast Docker container. This issue can be particularly puzzling when the same configuration works seamlessly on Ubuntu systems. In this post, we'll dive into the background of this issue and how to effectively resolve it.

The Problem: Hazelcast Client Shutdown

After starting the Hazelcast container in your Docker environment on MacOS using the command line, you may see logs indicating that the Hazelcast client is shutting down due to inability to connect to any cluster. The logs might look something like this:

Despite identical setups where Hazelcast runs fine on Ubuntu, MacOS users experience client shutdowns, leading to a frustrating development experience. But why does this happen?

Possible Causes of the Shutdown

Architecture Differences

As you may know, MacOS with M1 and ARM chips can behave differently than traditional x86 architectures. Certain versions of Hazelcast may not be optimized for ARM, leading to issues when trying to establish a connection.

Version Mismatches

It's important to ensure compatibility between the Hazelcast server version you are using and the Hazelcast client version. Running a Hazelcast client of an older version (such as 3.) with newer server versions (like 4. or 5.*) can lead to unforeseen disruptions.

The Solution: Ensuring Compatibility

Use Compatible Hazelcast Versions

To fix the issue with your Hazelcast setup on MacOS, follow these steps:

Upgrade or Downgrade Hazelcast Versions:

If you are using Hazelcast 3.12.12, which seems to work on ARM but not fully optimized, consider switching to versions that are compatible with your ARM architecture, such as 4.x or 5.x.

Note that you must use the corresponding compatible client version. For example, if you upgrade to Hazelcast version 4.x, you will also need to upgrade your client to match.

Check Docker Configuration:

Ensure your Docker is correctly set up for the ARM architecture. Check Docker's settings for CPU and memory allocation to ensure your environment is sufficiently resourced.

Test on Multiple Configurations:

If you have access to different machines or virtual setups, test your application to see if the problem persists across different configurations.

Consult Documentation and Community:

Check the official Hazelcast documentation for any specific notes regarding running on ARM architectures, and engage with online communities that may have reported similar issues.

Example Docker Compose Configuration

Ensure your docker-compose.yml is properly adjusted for the ARM architecture, like this:

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Hazelcast Client Shutdown issue on MacOS is often due to architecture incompatibilities or version mismatches. By ensuring you are using compatible and optimized versions of Hazelcast, you can maintain a stable and effective development environment. If you continue to encounter issues, don't hesitate to engage with the wider developer community for additional insights and support.

Now, you can keep your Hazelcast-powered applications running smoothly on MacOS, just as you would on Ubuntu!
