Cluster Utility Options
The Kafka Cluster utility enables you, as an administrator, to connect multiple clusters to a single Vertica database.
Option | Description |
---|---|
--cluster cluster_name |
A unique, case insensitive name for the cluster. |
--new-cluster cluster_name |
The updated name for the cluster. Requires the --update shared utility option. |
--hosts b1:port,b2:port… |
Identifies the hosts that you want to add, edit, or remove from a Kafka cluster. To identify multiple hosts, use a comma delimiter. Renamed from |
Note: Vertica does not validate host lists or confirm that clusters are unique. Labeling the same cluster with multiple IDs can introduce duplicate data into your database.
Examples
This example shows how you can create the cluster, StreamCluster1, and assign two hosts:
/opt/vertica/packages/kafka/bin/vkconfig cluster --create --cluster StreamCluster1 --hosts 10.10.10.10:9092,10.10.10.11:9092
