Summary: Configuration server for Network of Brokers
Key: AMQ-5471
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-5471
Project: ActiveMQ
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Broker
Reporter: Hadrian Zbarcea
Assignee: Hadrian Zbarcea
Fix For: 5.11.0
Brokers use the xbean configuration to start which is usually found in ./conf
other other places on the local disk. In a NOB topology however it is hard to
distribute the configuration files and maintain them across brokers especially
with a growing or elasticly changing number of brokers.
ActiveMQ already supports reading the xbean configuration from an http;// URL,
so it would be very helpful to have a rest service that manages the
configuration for all the brokers.
I started such a service on [github|https://github.com/hzbarcea/activemq-nob]
but plan to contribute it to ASF once it's in a decent shape, in a couple of
weeks or so.
The service uses the local file system and appropriate conventions to store all
the relevant broker configuration resources (e.g. could be generated with
./bin/activemq create <instance> minus certificates probably). I plan to
enhance it later to support a git repository for the configuration, so that
it's versioned, so that an operator could roll out a new NOB topology, or roll
back to the previous configuration.
Feedback appreciated.
