Yes, there was perhaps auto-completion with regards Confluent/Confluence.
I currently have a (legacy?) ‘joint’ xCAT-Confluent (3.6) installation on RHEL
7 that I inherited; if one wants to fully move from xCAT to Confluent, is there
document on how to ‘extract’ oneself from xCAT? I don’t see anything that jumps
out at:
https://hpc.lenovo.com/users/
https://hpc.lenovo.com/users/documentation/
Should I simply abandon the previous installation and do a fresh install? While
there is some documentation, the system leans towards being heavily vendor-used
so people completely new to it have a steep learning curve (xCAT is/was also
challenging to get into since it was fairly vendor-focused).
