[jira] [Created] (WHIRR-309) Start/Stop Cluster Support

Start/Stop Cluster Support
--------------------------

                 Key: WHIRR-309
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-309
             Project: Whirr
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: cli
         Environment: Amazon: Instances with an EBS root drive.
            Reporter: Travis Bolinger
            Priority: Minor


As per the discussion on IRC May 17, 2011.

Add the ability for clusters be stopped and started later while preserving data.  AWS instances with an ebs root drive can be stopped and started again later while preserving data.

Ideally, the Start/Stop ability will be available to other services besides Amazon.

A note for amazon ebs instances (and possibly other services): when each node is started up again, it will receive a new IP address. Thus, the configuration files on each node may need to be changed to reflect the new IP addresses.

---------------------------------------

That is certainly an option. Do many of the other services not provide start/stop abilities for individual instances?

My only worry with this approach is the size of the data. For example, I will have over 100tb worth of hbase data. I certainly wouldn't want to import/export to a local machine (would take forever). A blob store might work though.

-----------------------------------

We could also implement this in terms of import / export data to / from local machine or blob store. I believe this approach is more portable than EBS.
