akka-zk-cluster-seed extension

[Scott Clasen]

Hey all

  Just whipped this up today for those who have easy access to zookeeper, it lets you bootstrap your cluster without configuring seed nodes.

https://github.com/sclasen/akka-zk-cluster-seed

  instead of `Cluster(system).join(address) or joinSeedNodes(seeds)`  just `ZookeeperClusterSeed(system).join()`

Cheers

Hey,

Does it really make a difference if you provide nodes to ZooKeeper nodes rather than to cluster seed nodes in you config?

For me it's one more component to maintain.

btw I think that if you use ZooKeeper then you may not need cluster extension at all.

Thanks for the contribution Scott!

Would be awesome to add this to community contributions on http://akka.io/community you can do this via pull requesting here: https://github.com/akka/akka.github.com

I think that when starting new projects with akka only it's quite east to manage seed nodes in an akka-only way, via cheffing/puppeting etc,

but if you're in an existing environment where some other applications and/or infrastructure tooling is already hooked into zoo-keeper it this may be a pretty interesting option.

This is fantastic! We've been looking at exactly this problem. Something like this will help us a lot.

Hey Pawel-

  This is really only if you have an existing zk cluster in your environment, and you are say in AWS where (unless you use elastic IP) ip addresses and machines come and go.

If you dont meet this description I would not recommend using this extension.

Scott,
Thank you for explanation. I wanted to know use case for that
extension, sorry if it sounded offensive to you.
However, your extension is very nice and simple example how to write
integration and multijvm tests for Akka cluster.
Thank you.
