1*572c4311SfengbojiangCreate-custer is a small script used to easily start a big number of Redis 2*572c4311Sfengbojianginstances configured to run in cluster mode. Its main goal is to allow manual 3*572c4311Sfengbojiangtesting in a condition which is not easy to replicate with the Redis cluster 4*572c4311Sfengbojiangunit tests, for example when a lot of instances are needed in order to trigger 5*572c4311Sfengbojianga given bug. 6*572c4311Sfengbojiang 7*572c4311SfengbojiangThe tool can also be used just to easily create a number of instances in a 8*572c4311SfengbojiangRedis Cluster in order to experiment a bit with the system. 9*572c4311Sfengbojiang 10*572c4311SfengbojiangUSAGE 11*572c4311Sfengbojiang--- 12*572c4311Sfengbojiang 13*572c4311SfengbojiangTo create a cluster, follow these steps: 14*572c4311Sfengbojiang 15*572c4311Sfengbojiang1. Edit create-cluster and change the start / end port, depending on the 16*572c4311Sfengbojiangnumber of instances you want to create. 17*572c4311Sfengbojiang2. Use "./create-cluster start" in order to run the instances. 18*572c4311Sfengbojiang3. Use "./create-cluster create" in order to execute redis-cli --cluster create, so that 19*572c4311Sfengbojiangan actual Redis cluster will be created. 20*572c4311Sfengbojiang4. Now you are ready to play with the cluster. AOF files and logs for each instances are created in the current directory. 21*572c4311Sfengbojiang 22*572c4311SfengbojiangIn order to stop a cluster: 23*572c4311Sfengbojiang 24*572c4311Sfengbojiang1. Use "./create-cluster stop" to stop all the instances. After you stopped the instances you can use "./create-cluster start" to restart them if you change your mind. 25*572c4311Sfengbojiang2. Use "./create-cluster clean" to remove all the AOF / log files to restart with a clean environment. 26*572c4311Sfengbojiang 27*572c4311SfengbojiangUse the command "./create-cluster help" to get the full list of features. 28
