Re: How to express aggregator in yaml

[Graham Ashby]

Hi Sam
I've got an iterator in my template:

    <#list config['cm_host_port_list'] as cm_item>
      <crn:item xsi:type="xsd:anyURI">http://$
{cm_item}/p2pd/servlet</crn:item>
    </#list>

So, that's why I have an array.

So, I think I could do something with a Predicate, but I have no idea how 
I would wire this into the yaml.

Thanks
Graham

Hi Graham,

May I ask how you intend to use the values in your template?

If it would be sufficient to combine them into a single string you 
should use a `Joiner` enricher whose minimum size is the initial size of 
the cluster:

   brooklyn.config:
     cluster.initial.size: 4
   brooklyn.enrichers:
   - type: org.apache.brooklyn.enricher.stock.Aggregator
     brooklyn.config:
       enricher.sourceSensor: mySensor
       enricher.targetSensor: aggregated
       enricher.aggregating.fromMembers: true
   - type: org.apache.brooklyn.enricher.stock.Joiner
     brooklyn.config:
       enricher.sourceSensor: aggregated
       enricher.targetSensor: joinedUp
       enricher.joiner.quote: false
       enricher.joiner.minimum: $brooklyn:config("cluster.initial.size")

In this example the value for `joinedUp` won't be published until the 
`aggregated` sensor contains four non-null values.

With this approach you wouldn't need to use a latch; in your other 
entity you'd assign the joiner's value to a config key:

   brooklyn.config:
     valueForTemplate: 
$brooklyn:entity("cluster").attributeWhenReady("joinedUp")

And in your template write:

   ${config['valueForTemplate']

There is no equivalent of `enricher.joiner.minimum` for Aggregators so 
if this approach is unsuitable - perhaps you want to iterate over the 
values in your template - then it seems to be considerably more complex 
to achieve what you want. I've got a few ideas but will wait to hear 
whether the above is of any help before digging into them.
