A while back Gianny wrote some farming support to help with clusters.
IIUC it works like this:
- farm members are tracked with gbeans deployed on a master server
- to distribute an app to the farm you deploy it onto the master server.
This is great as far as it goes but I'd like these features:
- easy to dynamically add and remove farm members
- works with plugins rather than apps
- plugins do not need to be installed on master server
- lists of plugins and members persisted externally (such as in a
database)
I expect to start looking into this more closely in a day or two. I
guess I'll play around with code in the sandbox or in a out-of-server
plugin. Hopefully I'll be able to use most of the stuff Gianny has
already set up.
Comments or suggestions?
thanks
