FWIW, on ubuntu you can drop a file in /etc/security/limits.d/ called 'riak.conf' with the appropriate stanzas you would normally include in limits.conf and it will get read. If you use chef or puppet, this is much easier than trying to have multiple resources attempt to manage limits.conf togethe

Re: Node cannot join

2012-08-21 Thread John E. Vincent
It might be worth looking at the Chef cookbook for how it does it. As I see it on a fresh install with no data, there's probably not much major risk in concurrent joins. On an existing install, however, I'd think you would want to go serially. We stand up all of our riak clusters from scratch usin

I would highly suggest you upgrade to 1.2 when possible. We were, up until recently, running on 1.4 and seeing the same problems you describe. Take a look at this graph: http://i.imgur.com/0RtsU.png That's just one of our nodes but all of them exhibited the same behavior. The falloffs are where w

Re: Receiving ulimit warning despite setting it

As an opposing viewpoint, I'd argue that it's NOT the requirement of Riak to go automatically changing things outside of its domain. Ulimits and tunables in the same class are not things that should be blindly tweaked by an incoming package. These are things the system administrator needs to be awa

Re: Riak on SAN

2013-10-02 Thread John E. Vincent
I'm going to take a competing view here. SAN is a bit overloaded of a term at this point. Nothing precludes a SAN from being performant or having SSDs. Yes the cost is overkill for fiber but iSCSI is much more realistic. Alternately you can even do ATAoE. >From a hardware perspective, if I have 5

One option, if you are using a config management tool like Chef is to use the Node name in Chef as the vm.args name and add entries to the hosts file mapping those names to current ips. On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 9:24 AM, Grant Schofield wrote: > > On May 2, 2011, at 7:58 PM, Jeff Pollard wrote: > >

ElasticSearch has this feature as well. When using the Java transport client (as opposed to the HTTP/JSON interface), you actually become a cluster member as a non-data node. You can also add any number of nodes to the cluster as non-data nodes that then participate in general processing. http://
