The Coherence Go Client allows Go applications to act as cache clients to a Coherence Cluster using gRPC for the network transport.

Coherence is a scalable, fault-tolerant, cloud-ready, distributed platform for building grid-based applications and reliably storing data. The product is used at scale, for both compute and raw storage, in a vast array of industries such as critical financial trading systems, high performance telecommunication products and eCommerce applications.

• Familiar Map-like interface for manipulating cache entries including but not limited to:
  • Put, PutWithExpiry, PutIfAbsent, PutAll, Get, GetAll, Remove, Clear, GetOrDefault, Replace, ReplaceMapping, Size, IsEmpty, ContainsKey, ContainsValue, ContainsEntry
• Cluster-side querying, aggregation and filtering of map entries
• Cluster-side manipulation of map entries using EntryProcessors
• Registration of listeners to be notified of:
  • mutations such as insert, update and delete on Maps
  • map lifecycle events such as truncated, released or destroyed
  • session lifecycle events such as connected, disconnected, reconnected and closed
• Support for storing Go structs as JSON as well as the ability to serialize to Java objects on the server for access from other Coherence language API's
• Near cache support to cache frequently accessed data in the Go client to avoid sending requests across the network
• Support for simple and double-ended queues in Coherence Community Edition 25.03+ and commercial version 14.1.2.0+
• Full support for Go generics in all Coherence API's

• Coherence CE 22.06.4+, 25.03+ or Coherence 14.1.1.2206.4+ Commercial edition with a configured gRPCProxy.
• Go 1.23.+

Note: If you wish to use the queues API in the latest release, you must use CE 24.09 or commercial version 14.1.2.0.x.

Note: If you wish to use Go versions < 1.23 you can use v2.0.0 of the client.

Before testing the Go client, you must ensure a Coherence cluster is available. For local development, we recommend using the Coherence CE Docker image; it contains everything necessary for the client to operate correctly.

For a comprehensive set of Go client API examples, please see examples.

The following example connects to a Coherence cluster running gRPC Proxy on default port of 1408, creates a new NamedMap with key int and value of a string and issues Put(), Get() and Size() operations.

Note: Keys and values can also be Go structs. See detailed examples here.

package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"
    "github.com/oracle/coherence-go-client/v2/coherence"
)

func main() {
    var (
        value *string
        ctx   = context.Background()
    )

    // create a new Session to the default gRPC port of 1408
    session, err := coherence.NewSession(ctx, coherence.WithPlainText())
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    defer session.Close()

    // get a NamedMap with key of int and value of string
    namedMap, err := coherence.GetNamedMap[int, string](session, "my-map")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // put a new key / value
    if _, err = namedMap.Put(ctx, 1, "one"); err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
	
    // get the value for key 1
    if value, err = namedMap.Get(ctx, 1); err != nil {
       panic(err)
    }
    fmt.Println("Value for key 1 is", *value)

    // update the value for key 1
    if _, err = namedMap.Put(ctx, 1, "ONE"); err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // get the updated value for key 1
    if value, err = namedMap.Get(ctx, 1); err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    fmt.Println("Updated value is", *value)

    // remove the entry
    if _, err = namedMap.Remove(ctx, 1); err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
}
