Hi all, I'm not sure what's the best way to extend/reduce an elasticsearch cluster in networks like rackspace or other. I was thinking to a system that would allow me to tell to one node I added a machine and let this node ring others about it since I can't do multicast. Is this actually possible ? How ? - benoît ---

This is possible using unicast discovery. Actually, elasticsearch takes discovery a step further for cloud platforms by integrating with the cloud API to provide discovery, but its only enabled for AWS now (rackspace is the next one to support).

When do you expect RackSpace Cloudfiles to be supported? ...Thanks, ...Ken On Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 4:00 AM, Shay Banon [shay.banon@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com)wrote: > This is possible using unicast discovery.

We can add it post 0.13, both cloudfiles and rackspace (cloudservers) based disco. They don't have good Java libraries like AWS does (an official SDK), which is annoying... -shay.banon On Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 7:27 PM, Kenneth Loafman [kenneth@loafman.com](mailto:kenneth@loafman.com)wrote: > When do you expect RackSpace Cloudfiles to be supported? > > ...Thanks, > ...Ken > > On Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 4:00 AM, Shay Banon [shay.banon@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com)wrote: > > > This is possible using unicast discovery.
