MYID
joshskains opened this issue · comments
Am I missing something or am I required to write into a wrapper cookbook a method of populating the MYID on all the servers?
@joshskains that would be something your wrapper should do. This cookbook makes no attempts to write the MYID anywhere. Partly, that owes to it originally being tightly coupled to the exhibitor cookbook, which handles that for you (amongst other things).
Of course, not everyone wants to use Exhibitor to manage their cluster, but method for managing IDs differ, so we never included this functionality.
Pull requests are welcome, as I have very limited time to work on this cookbook.
Ok. Thanks. I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing redundant work and was going to suggest more documentation on clustering. I'm not good at making highly flexible patterns, so any contribution I would have would be limited by that. IE: my wrapper that is feeding in data has three attributes for the three servers I am patterning all our clusters on. I have not learned ruby enough to make it flexible for alternate patterns (IE: a hash). I'm a perl person, so I'd have a while() or a for statement going through the hash. :)
No worries, @joshskains. Perhaps someone else will come along & add the functionality, but that should work for you!
