I'll just toss another way.. there is an elastic search on yarn framework that actually works really nice with Apache Myriad (for running Yarn on Mesos) I know it sounds a bit convoluted but I have set it up so I can create ES clusters on demand, just give me a cluster name, and node size, and it will spin up a cluster. Want to add more nodes? Great, each "scale" operation adds another yarn application... so you could start with a 3 node cluster, then add 2 nodes, add 2 nodes add 3 nodes. You'd have a 10 node cluster, but you could scale down by 3 or 2 nodes because each time you've added nodes it's a separate yarn application that can be killed.
I was using MapR FS as my base filesystem, so that also helps with data storage etc. On Mon, Dec 21, 2015 at 3:11 AM, Eric LEMOINE <elemo...@mirantis.com> wrote: > Hi > > I am new to Mesos and I have a naive question related to Elasticsearch, > Mesos and Marathon. > > So there's the mesos-elasticsearch [*] project which provides a Mesos > framework/scheduler for Elasticsearch.
