This library enables to use Consul as cluster coordinator in a ConstructR based node.

ConstructR aims at cluster bootstrapping (construction) by using a coordination service and provides etcd as the default one. By means of this library, you will be able to use Consul as coordination service instead.

You will need to add the following dependency in your build.sbt in addition to the core ConstructR ones:

// All releases including intermediate ones are published here,
// final ones are also published to Maven Central.
resolvers += Resolver.bintrayRepo("tecsisa", "maven-bintray-repo")

libraryDependencies ++= Vector(
  "com.tecsisa" %% "constructr-coordination-consul" % "0.10.3",
  ...
)

Configuration

Check this section in ConstructR for general information about configuration.

Configure the Consul agent name under the agent-name configuration setting:

constructr.consul.agent-name = name

We strongly recommend configuring this property so that Consul can release every session created by the ConstructR nodes and later reconnections can work properly. More details here. Not configuring this property might lead to inconsistent state. This configuration is typically carried out by a cluster scheduler that will have the consul agent name available. Of course, manual configuration is always possible too.

If you are using the ACL System configure the Consul token:

constructr.consul.access-token = token

Testing

Requirements:

  • consul needs to be running, e.g. via docker run -d -p 8501:8500 --name constructr-consul consul:1.0.6 agent -server -bootstrap -client=0.0.0.0
