Anthony Baker updated GEODE-182:
--------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.1.0
> Generate "random" member names if no name is provided
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GEODE-182
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-182
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: configuration
> Reporter: William Markito Oliveira
> Assignee: Kirk Lund
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.1.0
>
>
> In current cloud and container deployments it's very common to allow the
> infrastructure to just re-execute the same command in order to provision a
> new node for a system.
> Since Geode require unique member names on a system I'm proposing to create
> something similar to what Docker and other projects does and generate
> "random" names on when none are provided.
> Following the Docker implementation, I'd suggest something like:
> * List of adjectives
> * List of gems
> and a combination using _ for example:
> {code}
> clever_alexandrite
> sharp_emerald
> tender_sapphire
> {code}
> Those would be server names when *-name* param is not specified OR if a
> *property file* doesn't have a name as well.
> From the initial list I'm thinking the model would have:
> * Adjectives = 56
> * Names = 70
> * Total names possible = 3920
> Other benefits I can see for non-cloud deployments as well is for example
> setting member ports to 0 and by providing no name, it's also easier to
> create multiple geode nodes on the same physical host without specifying
> names.
> This wouldn't change current naming features and capabilities. I'm not
> planning to implement the feature for locators initially.
