Rackspace CloudServers?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Has anybody succesfully deployed a cluster on Rackspace CloudServers? Any pointers? I have fund out by way of trying and failing that the old plugin doesn't work anymore. Any work being done on getting RS support?

Since they don't have multicast enabled, you need to configure elasticsearch with unicast discovery and have some of the servers in the list of unicast hosts.

The "old" cloud plugin was discontinued and replaced with just the aws plugin, I plan to work on it again post 0.16.

there's this: Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic

or you can take a look at my config (I don't have the servers on RS
cloud, but it should be close enough)

cluster:
name: production
routing:
operation:
use_type: true
allocation:
concurrent_recoveries: 2

network:
host: 10.8.49.114
gateway:
type: local
recover_after_nodes: 9
recover_after_time: 5m
expected_nodes: 10

discovery:

unicast:
hosts:
"10.8.49.114:9300,10.8.49.94:9300,10.16.69.88:9300,10.16.69.90:9300"

Note that the use_type setting is only applicable when upgrading from a pre 0.13 version. If thats not the case, make sure not to set it.

Good to know, thanks. BTW it might be a good idea to update the blog posts
about the jcloud integration. It kinda makes you think that RS is supported
out of the box in the current release.
