Partition Awareness in thin clients

[gigabot <mw...@gmail.com>]

The documentation here lists the benefits of enabling Partition Awareness in
thin clients:

https://ignite.apache.org/docs/latest/thin-clients/java-thin-client#partition-awareness

It doesn't say if there are any drawbacks.

1. Are there any drawbacks?

2. If not, why is this not enabled by default?

Thanks

Increased resource usage, since multiple connections are established.
Some use cases look like "connect, get a small piece of data, disconnect",
and in those cases partition awareness may be suboptimal.

Mostly due to backwards compatibility so the behavior does not change
unexpectedly.
