Assignee: Dave Barnes
> Docs to segregate types of properties
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: GEODE-2052
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2052
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: docs
> Reporter: Pulkit Chandra
> Assignee: Dave Barnes
>
> Geode has a lot of properties. But they are not mentioned in context but
> rather listed as geode properties which can go in geode.properties and
> gfsecurity.properties.
> It would nice to have a segregation by Locator and Server under
> geode.properties. The reason for this ask is that some properties do not
> apply to both locator and server. Currently the only way to know this is by
> experience or trial and error.
> We also found out that some of the gemfire.properties do not get applied when
> supplied in geode.properties but rather have to be passed as command line
> properties. e.g. enabling rest api.
> It would be nice to call that out clearly in docs.
> There are example of properties which have to be applied together in order to
> enable a functionality e.g. rest api needs bind address property and
> http-service-port. Its not called out clearly in the docs that they are
> *mandatory*.
> [link to docs
> section](http://geode.incubator.apache.org/docs/guide/rest_apps/setup_config.html)
> quote
> ```
> To enable the developer REST API service in Apache Geode, set the
> start-dev-rest-api Geode property to true when starting a data node using
> either gfsh or the ServerLauncher API. Setting this property to true on a
> data node will start up an embedded Jetty server and deploy the REST
> developer API WAR file.
> ```
> It should highlight that its necessary to have 2 more properties bind-address
> and http-service-port defined to make it work.
> We would be happy to provide further details on this matter if needed.
