David Lloyd created HELIX-565:
---------------------------------
Summary: Quick Start Instruction Improvement
Key: HELIX-565
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HELIX-565
Project: Apache Helix
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: David Lloyd
Priority: Minor
ISSUE:
Enhancement to instructions.
WEB-PAGE FOR INSTRUCTIONS:
http://helix.apache.org/0.7.0-incubating-docs/Quickstart.html
(but the 0.6.x instructions display the same issue).
TL;DR
The cluster is left running in a healthy state after the third node is killed.
This is the expected behaviour *however* I did not expect this and thought the
test would end and return to command line.
Instructions could be enhanced by noting "The cluster will continue to run
until you stop it with ^C or the machine you are running the quick start on is
turned off."
DESCRIPTION
The quick start works very well for me and there is nothing *wrong* with the
instructions as such.
However, I did not understand the the quickstart test simply leaves the Helix
managed clusters going and does not return; I thought that was actually an
error until I had a light bulb moment about what was happening.
Perhaps add a comment at the end where the output is shown after the third node
is killed like: "The cluster will continue to run until you press ^C or the
machine is turned off."
