| create-cluster is a small script used to easily start a big number of Redis |
| instances configured to run in cluster mode. Its main goal is to allow manual |
| testing in a condition which is not easy to replicate with the Redis cluster |
| unit tests, for example when a lot of instances are needed in order to trigger |
| a given bug. |
|
|
| The tool can also be used just to easily create a number of instances in a |
| Redis Cluster in order to experiment a bit with the system. |
|
|
| USAGE |
| --- |
|
|
| To create a cluster, follow these steps: |
|
|
| 1. Edit create-cluster and change the start / end port, depending on the |
| number of instances you want to create. |
| 2. Use "./create-cluster start" in order to run the instances. |
| 3. Use "./create-cluster create" in order to execute redis-cli --cluster create, so that |
| an actual Redis cluster will be created. (If you're accessing your setup via a local container, ensure that the CLUSTER_HOST value is changed to your local IP) |
| 4. Now you are ready to play with the cluster. AOF files and logs for each instances are created in the current directory. |
|
|
| In order to stop a cluster: |
|
|
| 1. Use "./create-cluster stop" to stop all the instances. After you stopped the instances you can use "./create-cluster start" to restart them if you change your mind. |
| 2. Use "./create-cluster clean" to remove all the AOF / log files to restart with a clean environment. |
|
|
| Use the command "./create-cluster help" to get the full list of features. |
