[jira] [Commented] (WHIRR-332) Need to specify different instance
size/type depending on role
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-332?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13177024#comment-13177024 ]
Tom White commented on WHIRR-332:
---------------------------------
I would remove the deprecated role name aliases in a separate JIRA so that folks scanning release notes see it, since it's an incompatible change.
The test should check that roles that haven't been configured to use a particular type of hardware fall back to the default. Also, in testHardwareIdPerInstanceTemplate, what if only role1 has its hardware configured (i.e. not role1+role2) - it should fail or warn.
Looks good otherwise.

> When setting up Hadoop, whirr.hardware-id is used in the configuration to set a single instance size/type for both nn,jt and dn,tt roles, but there are workloads that benefit from having a different instance size/type for each role. This need is even greater for ensembles with Zookeeper and HBase.
> Without this, a small Whirr cluster underutilizes resources.
> whirr.hardware-id should be a used to set a default instance size/type, and variations like whirr.${role}.hardware-id could be used to set size/type more specifically. This is a simple, obvious, and easy to implement mechanism to provide this functionality.
