Ralph

Ralph is a service discovery for twemproxy on mesos. It allows you to run elastic clusters of memcached and redis and change cluster sizes on the fly without service interruption and with minimum cache loss.

Running

Ralph uses marathoner to update twemproxy configuration. You have to run marathoner updaters to use ralph.

Ralph is distributed as docker container, to run it:

docker run -d --net host --name ralph bobrik/ralph \
    -u marathoner-updater1:7676,marathoner-updater2:7676 -b 127.0.0.1 \
    -a '-a 0.0.0.0 -s 22222 -i 2000'

This would run ralph with two updaters. Ralph would publish twemproxy pools on 127.0.0.1. Twemproxy would publish stats on 0.0.0.0:22222.

Ralph is pretty lightweight to run it on every node.

Adding pools

Your pools are managed by marathon, here is an example of a pool:

{
  "app": {
    "id": "/twemproxy/one",
    "cmd": "exec redis-server --port $PORT",
    "instances": 2,
    "cpus": 0.1,
    "mem": 128,
    "ports": [
      12334
    ],
    "container": {
      "type": "DOCKER",
      "volumes": [],
      "docker": {
        "image": "redis:2.8"
      }
    },
    "healthChecks": [
      {
        "path": "/",
        "protocol": "TCP",
        "portIndex": 0,
        "gracePeriodSeconds": 15,
        "intervalSeconds": 2,
        "timeoutSeconds": 5,
        "maxConsecutiveFailures": 3
      }
    ],
    "labels": {
      "twemproxy_pool": "redis_one",
      "twemproxy_distribution": "ketama",
      "twemproxy_hash": "fnv1a_64",
      "twemproxy_server_failure_limit": "10",
      "twemproxy_hash_tag": "{}",
      "twemproxy_timeout": "500",
      "twemproxy_server_retry_timeout": "8000",
      "twemproxy_redis": "true",
      "twemproxy_auto_eject_hosts": "true"
    }
  }
}

To expose your application with a bunch of redis or memcached servers as twemproxy pool, you need to use application labels. To set configuration value for your pool, just add prefix twemproxy_ to the config key from twemproxy configuration and set it as application label. You should also set twemproxy_pool, otherwise your pool will be ignored.
