The console tool enables you execute commands on the cluster. You can read or write on instances but first you should set namespace. For example if you have a map with name "mapCustomers". To get a customer with key "Jack" you should first set the namespace with command "ns mapCustomers". Then you can take the object by "m.get Jack" Here is the command list:

-- General commands
echo true|false                      //turns on/off echo of commands (default false)
silent true|false                    //turns on/off silent of command output (default false)
#<number> <command>                  //repeats <number> time <command>, replace $i in <command> with current iteration (0..<number-1>)
&<number> <command>                  //forks <number> threads to execute <command>, replace $t in <command> with current thread number (0..<number-1>
     When using #x or &x, is is advised to use silent true as well.
     When using &x with m.putmany and m.removemany, each thread will get a different share of keys unless a start key index is specified
jvm                                  //displays info about the runtime
who                                  //displays info about the cluster
whoami                               //displays info about this cluster member
ns <string>                          //switch the namespace for using the distributed queue/map/set/list <string> (defaults to "default"
@<file>                              //executes the given <file> script. Use '//' for comments in the script

-- Queue commands
q.offer <string>                     //adds a string object to the queue
q.poll                               //takes an object from the queue
q.offermany <number> [<size>]        //adds indicated number of string objects to the queue ('obj<i>' or byte[<size>])
q.pollmany <number>                  //takes indicated number of objects from the queue
q.iterator [remove]                  //iterates the queue, remove if specified
q.size                               //size of the queue
q.clear                              //clears the queue

-- Set commands
s.add <string>                       //adds a string object to the set
s.remove <string>                    //removes the string object from the set
s.addmany <number>                   //adds indicated number of string objects to the set ('obj<i>')
s.removemany <number>                //takes indicated number of objects from the set
s.iterator [remove]                  //iterates the set, removes if specified
s.size                               //size of the set
s.clear                              //clears the set

-- Lock commands
lock <key>                           //same as Hazelcast.getLock(key).lock()
tryLock <key>                        //same as Hazelcast.getLock(key).tryLock()
tryLock <key> <time>                 //same as tryLock <key> with timeout in seconds
unlock <key>                         //same as Hazelcast.getLock(key).unlock()

-- Map commands
m.put <key> <value>                  //puts an entry to the map
m.remove <key>                       //removes the entry of given key from the map
m.get <key>                          //returns the value of given key from the map
m.putmany <number> [<size>] [<index>]//puts indicated number of entries to the map ('key<i>':byte[<size>], <index>+(0..<number>)
m.removemany <number> [<index>]      //removes indicated number of entries from the map ('key<i>', <index>+(0..<number>)
     When using &x with m.putmany and m.removemany, each thread will get a different share of keys unless a start key <index> is specified
m.keys                               //iterates the keys of the map
m.values                             //iterates the values of the map
m.entries                            //iterates the entries of the map
m.iterator [remove]                  //iterates the keys of the map, remove if specified
m.size                               //size of the map
m.clear                              //clears the map
m.destroy                            //destroys the map
m.lock <key>                         //locks the key
m.tryLock <key>                      //tries to lock the key and returns immediately
m.tryLock <key> <time>               //tries to lock the key within given seconds
m.unlock <key>                       //unlocks the key
