[PROPOSAL] Removing clustering support in 7.0.0

There are a few features we are looking to remove in the ATS 7.0.0 release.  If you are using these features and require them, please respond to this email.  We also need to have people that are willing to invest time and fix some of the bugs for these features.   Your feedback is very important!

There are a number of bugs filed against clustering.  There are alternatives to using clustering, such as parent selection and the CARP plugin that Yahoo is open sourcing.  If we are going to keep clustering supporting we would need someone that is willing to work on the bugs.

The proposal is to remove the configurations options for clustering and remove the code for it.

-Bryan

Re: [PROPOSAL] Removing clustering support in 7.0.0

Posted by "Steven R. Feltner" <sf...@godaddy.com>.
We are considering using cluster management-only for shared configuration for our next project.  Currently, we have 12 ATS nodes all acting independently.  The next project will have double that number of nodes, and I was trying to get away from having to deploy configuration changes per node.  

I was also considering adding in functionality such that I could send a PURGE command to one node, and have that command be replicated across all of the nodes in the cluster, as opposed to having to send a PURGE command to each of the nodes individually.

Based on Bryan’s proposal, we are revisiting the idea of clustered ATS.  I am just giving feedback that we are considering using it.

If anyone has ideas on how to manage configs across this many nodes, or about how to trigger PURGE and similar cache commands to all nodes, please let me know.

Thanks,
Steven

they just would use a config management or just write some scripts to 
pull changes over SSH or https from a common source and genearte the 
local configs on the target machine as they do for every other software

why would anyone configure anything manually in the age of puppet, chef,

Posted by Thomas Jackson <ja...@gmail.com>.
Also late response... sorry about that.

I'm +1 on removing this, "clustering" as a concept is an okay thing-- but
clustering in ATS today requires L2 connectivity-- which in practice most
people can't really use.

Even if that was a viable option, the clustering doesn't give enough
controls for operability (canaries, etc.) so it ends up being more of a
problem.

Bryan,

  Some (more) late feedback for the proposal to remove clustering support... We are also using clustering for the management of configuration between multiple load balancing nodes using cluster.type = 1 (full), although we could get by with cluster.type = 2 (management only). We would certainly appreciate at least the configuration management being supported in 7.0.0+, we don't specifically need the clustered cache feature.

Aaron McClimont

After discussing with the other committers on the project we have decided to remove the clustering feature in ATS 7.0.0.

There are people in the community that are using configuration management (Puppet, Chef, Salt, etc.) for large installations.  If you need help on syncing configuration outside of ATS, there is a very good chance other people in the community would be willing to help.  This might be a great opportunity to add some tools or examples to ATS to help out other people in the community with configuration management.

Bryan,

  Some (more) late feedback for the proposal to remove clustering support... We are also using clustering for the management of configuration between multiple load balancing nodes using cluster.type = 1 (full), although we could get by with cluster.type = 2 (management only). We would certainly appreciate at least the configuration management being supported in 7.0.0+, we don't specifically need the clustered cache feature.

Aaron McClimont

Subject: [PROPOSAL] Removing clustering support in 7.0.0

After discussing with the other committers on the project we have decided to remove the clustering feature in ATS 7.0.0.

There are people in the community that are using configuration management (Puppet, Chef, Salt, etc.) for large installations.  If you need help on syncing configuration outside of ATS, there is a very good chance other people in the community would be willing to help.  This might be a great opportunity to add some tools or examples to ATS to help out other people in the community with configuration management.

Thank you,

[PROPOSAL] Removing clustering support in 7.0.0

Posted by Bryan Call <bc...@apache.org>.
After discussing with the other committers on the project we have decided to remove the clustering feature in ATS 7.0.0.

There are people in the community that are using configuration management (Puppet, Chef, Salt, etc.) for large installations.  If you need help on syncing configuration outside of ATS, there is a very good chance other people in the community would be willing to help.  This might be a great opportunity to add some tools or examples to ATS to help out other people in the community with configuration management.

Thank you,

-Bryan

There are a number of bugs filed against clustering.  There are alternatives to using clustering, such as parent selection and the CARP plugin that Yahoo is open sourcing.  If we are going to keep clustering supporting we would need someone that is willing to work on the bugs.

The proposal is to remove the configurations options for clustering and remove the code for it.

I've seen a few people asking about clustering recently, so it seems like there is interest. But it *really* needs a code owner to make it live. Count me as a +0.


A serious issue with the lack of developer support is that other areas of the code suffers. Meaning, we have a hard time making progress with other areas (like metrics, or configurations), because we don’t have anyone who’s testing and maintaining the clustering feature.

This is a tough one though, the general feature is useful, but we’re seriously crippling ourselves with an unsupported legacy system.

+0 from me as well.

We are using clustering to share configuration settings in environments that do load balancing across multiple proxies.  Administrators that have large deployments would need to configure every proxy manually.

There are a number of bugs filed against clustering.  There are alternatives to using clustering, such as parent selection and the CARP plugin that Yahoo is open sourcing.  If we are going to keep clustering supporting we would need someone that is willing to work on the bugs.

The proposal is to remove the configurations options for clustering and remove the code for it.

A serious issue with the lack of developer support is that other areas of the code suffers. Meaning, we have a hard time making progress with other areas (like metrics, or configurations), because we don’t have anyone who’s testing and maintaining the clustering feature.

This is a tough one though, the general feature is useful, but we’re seriously crippling ourselves with an unsupported legacy system.

RE: Re: [PROPOSAL] Removing clustering support in 7.0.0

Posted by "Nguyen, Hai" <hn...@forcepoint.com>.
I’m sorry for sending the feedback on this proposal late. Can we please keep the clustering feature? We’ve been using it extensively here.

Thanks,
-Hai

The proposal is to remove the configurations options for clustering and remove the code for it.

I've seen a few people asking about clustering recently, so it seems like there is interest. But it *really* needs a code owner to make it live. Count me as a +0.


A serious issue with the lack of developer support is that other areas of the code suffers. Meaning, we have a hard time making progress with other areas (like metrics, or configurations), because we don’t have anyone who’s testing and maintaining the clustering feature.

This is a tough one though, the general feature is useful, but we’re seriously crippling ourselves with an unsupported legacy system.

+0 from me as well.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Removing clustering support in 7.0.0

Posted by "Steven R. Feltner" <sf...@godaddy.com>.
We are considering using cluster management-only for shared configuration for our next project.  Currently, we have 12 ATS nodes all acting independently.  The next project will have double that number of nodes, and I was trying to get away from having to deploy configuration changes per node.  

I was also considering adding in functionality such that I could send a PURGE command to one node, and have that command be replicated across all of the nodes in the cluster, as opposed to having to send a PURGE command to each of the nodes individually.

Based on Bryan’s proposal, we are revisiting the idea of clustered ATS.  I am just giving feedback that we are considering using it.

If anyone has ideas on how to manage configs across this many nodes, or about how to trigger PURGE and similar cache commands to all nodes, please let me know.

Thanks,
Steven
