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.

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.

[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
