Feature request: API for server/cluster info
mprimi opened this issue · comments
I would find useful to have an API to learn about the cluster state, not specific to any streams or consumers.
JSM seems like a good place for it.
Looking at the natscli
, I see that the implementation of server list
is doing this via PING
(source).
I could duplicate this code, but that seems like a fragile approach.
Could the natscli implementation get pushed down to JSM, where it can be reused?
I have considered it :) but these things like PING isn’t well managed under semver and often breaking changes so I don’t really wanted to build public APIs around them :(
Makes sense, looks like a lot of refactoring for relatively small set of use cases.
For anyone stumbling upon this.
I wanted that API to block until a newly created cluster is "ready".
As a workaround, manager.IsJetStreamEnabled seems to work well for the specific use case.
Yeah probsbly ok since account info api depends on meta.
Elsewhere I check like this https://github.com/ripienaar/nats-integration/blob/0b6e12360b30bd358479125769102436cd830455/suites/streams/suite_test.go#L103 I really really dislike these server info responses since they require the silly multi unmarshal to use. Really unfriendly
