RethinkDB Cluster on Kubernetes
==============================
Setting up a [rethinkdb](http://rethinkdb.com/) cluster on [kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io)
**Features**
* Auto configuration cluster by querying info from k8s
* Simple
Quick start
-----------
**Step 1**
antmanler/rethinkdb will discover peer using endpoints provided by kubernetes_ro service,
so first create a service so the following pod can query its endpoint
```shell
kubectl create -f driver-service.yaml
```
check out:
```shell
$kubectl get se
NAME LABELS SELECTOR IP PORT
rethinkdb-driver db=influxdb db=rethinkdb 10.241.105.47 28015
```
**Step 2**
start fist server in cluster
```shell
kubectl create -f rc.yaml
```
Actually, you can start servers as many as you want at one time, just modify the `replicas` in `rc.ymal`
check out again:
```shell
$kubectl get po
POD IP CONTAINER(S) IMAGE(S) HOST LABELS STATUS
99f6d361-abd6-11e4-a1ea-001c426dbc28 10.240.2.68 rethinkdb rethinkdb:1.16.0 10.245.2.2/ db=rethinkdb,role=replicas Running
```
**Done!**
---
Scale
-----
You can scale up you cluster using `kubectl resize`, and new pod will join to exsits cluster automatically, for example
```shell
$kubectl resize rc rethinkdb-rc-1.16.0 --replicas=3
resized
$kubectl get po
POD IP CONTAINER(S) IMAGE(S) HOST LABELS STATUS
99f6d361-abd6-11e4-a1ea-001c426dbc28 10.240.2.68 rethinkdb rethinkdb:1.16.0 10.245.2.2/ db=rethinkdb,role=replicas Running
d10182b5-abd6-11e4-a1ea-001c426dbc28 10.240.26.14 rethinkdb rethinkdb:1.16.0 10.245.2.4/ db=rethinkdb,role=replicas Running
d101c1a4-abd6-11e4-a1ea-001c426dbc28 10.240.11.14 rethinkdb rethinkdb:1.16.0 10.245.2.3/ db=rethinkdb,role=replicas Running
```
Admin
-----
You need a separate pod (which labled as role:admin) to access Web Admin UI
```shell
kubectl create -f admin-pod.yaml
kubectl create -f admin-service.yaml
```
find the service
```shell
$kubectl get se
NAME LABELS SELECTOR IP PORT
rethinkdb-admin db=influxdb db=rethinkdb,role=admin 10.241.220.209 8080
rethinkdb-driver db=influxdb db=rethinkdb 10.241.105.47 28015
```
open a web browser and access to *http://10.241.220.209:8080* to manage you cluster
**Why not just using pods in replicas?**
This is because kube-proxy will act as a load balancer and send your traffic to different server,
since the ui is not stateless when playing with Web Admin UI will cause `Connection not open on server` error.

**BTW**
* All services and pods are placed under namespace `rethinkdb`.
* `gen_pod.sh` is using to generate pod templates for my local cluster,
the generated pods which is using `nodeSelector` to force k8s to schedule containers to my designate nodes, for I need to access persistent data on my host dirs.
* see [antmanler/rethinkdb-k8s](https://github.com/antmanler/rethinkdb-k8s) for detail
