Spark
• There is only one container per Ingres instance.
• The container is started by ingstart and stopped by ingstop.
• The container uses a name which includes the Ingres instance ID.
• ingstatus displays information about the container (running/not running/…)
• The container is NOT run with the ‘-rm’ flag, This ensures that if an expected shutdown occurs, diagnostic data can still be retrieved via ‘docker inspect’ or ‘podman inspect’. The instop process handles stopping and removal of the container.
• The ingstop process will stop and then remove the container.
