The configuration file /opt/mapr/conf/mapr-clusters.conf specifies the CLDB nodes for one or more clusters that can be reached from the node or client on which it is installed.
Format:
clustername1 <CLDB> <CLDB> <CLDB> [ clustername2 <CLDB> <CLDB> <CLDB> ] [ ... ]
The <CLDB> string format can contain multiple space-separated instances of the following:
- host;ip:port - Host, IP, and port (uses DNS to resolve hostnames, or provided IP if DNS is down)
- host:port - Hostname and IP (uses DNS to resolve host, specifies port)
- ip:port - IP and port (avoids using DNS to resolve hosts, specifies port)
- host - Hostname only (default, uses DNS to resolve host, uses default port)
- ip - IP only (avoids using DNS to resolve hosts, uses default port)
You can edit mapr-clusters.conf manually to add more clusters. For example:
clustername2 <CLDB> <CLDB> <CLDB>
Adding multihomed CLDB entries to mapr-clusters.conf with configure.sh
In this example, the cluster my.cluster.com has CLDB servers at nodeA, nodeB, nodeC, and nodeD. The CLDB servers nodeB and nodeD have two NICs each at eth0 and eth1. The entries in mapr-clusters.conf are separated by spaces for each server's entry. Within a server's entry, individual interfaces are separated by semicolons (;).
The command
configure.sh -N my.cluster.com -C nodeAeth0,nodeCeth0 -M nodeBeth0,nodeBeth1 -M nodeDeth0,nodeDeth1 -Z zknodeA
generates the following entry in mapr-clusters.conf:
my.cluster.com nodeAeth0 nodeBeth0;nodeBeth1 nodeCeth0 nodeDeth0;nodeDeth1
