Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Before we can migrate to multi-instance Cassandra, ansible-deploy needs to be capable of dealing with such a configuration.

Re-opening, as the current implementation is affecting RESTBase deploys. Those are iterating through all instances where really only a single deploy is needed.

We'll need to find a way to apply a list of tasks to a list of dynamically constructed instances / hosts. One way would be the new block support in Ansible 2.0 (about to be released). Another solution that would work in 1.8 is creating a separate multi-instance role that loops over the main cassandra role, as discussed in this stackoverflow post.

Eevans added a project: Cassandra.

See T132958: MVP: Cassandra (multi-instance) management tools, which includes a utility, c-foreach-restart, that reads local configuration to iterate over each instance, drains, stops, restarts, and blocks until the CQL port is open.

It looks like @Eevans is happy with the new tool and not using ansible any more, so closing this one.
