Hello all, I've installed swift with 3 storage nodes and 1 proxy node for testing. So far everything seems smooth but I have questions regarding to operating swift.
The most important thing is how to add a new storage node or proxy node. While installing, I copied the files created by ring builder to all of the storage nodes. Should I add a the node to the ring and copy the files to all the storage nodes? If so, should I restart all the swift services so that they read the ring. Is there a reload functionality in swift processes? Is there a guide for operating swift cluster? I would be really happy if there is document explaining what to do when storage node dies, how the data is replicated in swift, and how to add new storage/proxy nodes to the cluser. The second one is the hardware requirements for proxy and load balancer services. Is there a rule of thumb, or best practice for choosing server hardware for storage and proxy node. I've read that proxy node is network and CPU intensive but as I don't have traffic, I don't know which specification I should choose (for example 8 CPU, 32GB ram, etc). Your experience is appreciated.
