Heh, yeah, guessing how long it takes to restart is not ideal. It's just what I was thinking of as a work around that properly tweaked would avoid clobbering the cluster.
The more I think about it, the more I'm not sure there's a good way to do this in Ansible. For Elasticsearch, I'd want to issue a command like 'service elasticsearch safe-restart' that waits for the status of the cluster to be green before restarting. For RabbitMQ, I'd want something similar, though I haven't worked with it enough to know exaction what. I think I'll head off to the elasticsearch group and Google to see how others have avoided clobbering their clusters when updating config. :) Thanks for all the responses so far. --David Reagan On Thu, Jul 24, 2014 at 11:05 AM, Michael Peters <michael00pet...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Thu, Jul 24, 2014 at 11:54 AM, David Reagan <jer...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > So, handlers seem like they are just special tasks that you can call with > > the "notify" option.
