Configuring a storm cluster with wirbelsturm

[Spico Florin <sp...@gmail.com>]

Hello!
  I have 4 GNU Linux machines (not in a cloud but in our own intranet) and
I would lie to use wirbelsturm to install a Storm cluster. From the
documentation I could not understand if is possible to use wirbelsturm for
configuring Storm when you have machines at your own disposition.
Is it possible to do such kind of thing? If yes, can you please describe
the steps that I should perfom to have my storm cluster done.

I'll look forward for your answers.

  Regards,
  Florin

Hello!
  Thank you very much for pointing me to the documentation that
theoretically should make the installation of storm cluster much more
easier. Unfortunately, this documentation doesn't mention how to setup a
fully Storm cluster. It only describes how to repeat the same configuration
for each machine from the cluster. This means that if I have 8 or 100
machines then I have to manually set up them. At least this is what I have
understood from the sentences:
"Normally you should inject at least the node_env Puppet fact to the shell
environment in which you run puppet apply so that the Hiera settings of
Wirbelsturm can be properly detected for the target machine. To achieve
this you must set an environment variable named FACTER_node_env, whose
value is the name of the target deployment environment you configured under"

No information about to set up the targeted MACHINES not just a single
machine. If the purpose of the project was to leverage the deployment
with "1-click
local and remote deployments", with this approach it misses this goal.

Perhaps it is a good tool but unfortunately either is missing the right
documentation either is good for different use cases (for deploying Storm
using VMs). Maybe the clients doesn't need the features that I need it
(deploying on bare metal machines) or they are so clever that they know to
read between the lines of the documentation (I'm a just a Java developer
that I need a faster environment setup).
   I look forward for other suggestions and solutions.

Thanks.
  Florin

I have only Wirbelstrum to deploy the base Virtualbox VMs with the plan to
move to AWS, but there is documentation on how to set up your own local
servers.  Take a look here:
https://github.com/miguno/wirbelsturm/blob/master/docs/Wirbelsturm-less_deployment.md

Hope that gives you a start!
