751175 - ES puppet refactoring / package changes

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: WebOps: Other, task)

Description

[Corey Shields [:cshields]]

we need to change from deploying the ES tarball to building an RPM for ES for cleaner installations and updates.  Also, this module might need a bit of fixing up to allow for cross-datacenter connectivity (ie: not using autodiscovery)

I've started work on a module that is named "newlasticsearch" (which, of course, will probably require a more sane name in the future).  It exists in Puppet now and is currently being used to manage the 8 test nodes noted in bug 751171.  Along with this module there is a "newlastic" class definition and a "newlasticsearch" node definition.

These are all WIP and I will fully describe and document them once they begin to stabilise fully.

Note to self: newlasticsearch should deploy (at least) elasticsead-head to the nodes. consider also bigdesk and paramedic.

Packaged and inserted 'elasticsearch-plugin-site-head' into the Mozilla repo.  It is installed via the package resource of Class newlasticsearch (as declared in the node definition).

Packaged and inserted 'elasticsearch-plugin-site-bigdesk' and 'elasticsearch-plugin-site-paramedic' into the Mozilla repo. They are installed via (node) Class newlasticsearch (as above).

Version 1 of the module is feature-complete and tested. Just need to document it. See bug 779177.
