A node is a computer server, either physical or virtual, that can host one or more Regatta modules. A node can be in either of two states: AVAILABLE and NOT AVAILABLE.

​
Node Commands

All the node commands begin with the prefix MANAGE NODE.

​
NODE ADD

This command adds one or more nodes to the system. This command is accepted only if the system is in ACTIVE or SETUP state. Synopsis 
MANAGE NODE ADD [ FORCE ] (( 
	NAME name, 
	NETWORK ( net_address [, ... ] ) 
	[, other_node_params ] 
) [ , ... ] )

where net_address is:

( { EXTERNAL | INTERNAL } IP ip_addr PORT port_num

and other_node_params is a list of comma-separated optional parameters listed below.
Parameters FORCE By default, a node will not be added if it already belongs to a different Regatta system. If this option is specified, nodes that belong to another Regatta system will be added. The node will be removed from the other system by force, and the impact on the other system is undefined. The rest of the parameters should be specified for each node separately. NAME Required parameter. This name must be unique among all of the system’s nodes, and will be used to identify the node in queries and other commands. NETWORK Required parameter. Contains a list of up to 4 external addresses and 4 internal addresses. Must contain at least one address (either internal or external). For each address, there are 2 required parameters – IP and PORT. External addresses are IP addresses that are used by applications to access Regatta. Internal addresses are used only within the Regatta cluster for inter-node communication. DESCRIPTION Optional parameter. Free text that is added to the node. RAM_SIZE Optional parameter. The amount of RAM (in MB) that the Regatta modules in this node may use. If not specified – Regatta may use all the available RAM. ENV_MACHINE_KIND Optional parameter. Used to inform Regatta about the node. If specified, the value must be one of the following: “PhysicalServer”, “VirtualMachine”, “DockerContainer” ENV_MACHINE_ADDITIONAL_INFO Optional parameter. Used to inform Regatta about the node. Can be any string. Currently not used by Regatta. Output The output of the command is tabular with a row for each node included in the command. The following table lists the output columns.
NameTypeDescription
NAMEStringThe name of the node
IDNumberThe identifier Regatta assigned to the node. (N/A if adding the node failed.)
STATUSStringSUCCESS or FAILURE. If FAILURE, the node was not added.
ERROR_REASONStringIn case of failure, this column contains a description of the failure reason.
Example This command creates two nodes, named node1 and node2.Note that the RAM size and external service network address are specified only for node 2. 
MANAGE NODE ADD ( 
	(NAME node1, NETWORK ((INTERNAL IP “127.0.0.1” PORT 8401),(EXTERNAL IP “85.245.254.37” PORT 8402)) , 
	(NAME node2, NETWORK ((INTERNAL IP “127.0.0.1” PORT 8403),(EXTERNAL IP “85.245.253.139” PORT 8404)), RAM_SIZE 24000, EXTERNAL_SERVICE_NET (IP “85.245.253.139” PORT 9876)) 
);

​
NODE REMOVE

This command removes a node from the system. This command is accepted only when the system is in ACTIVE or SETUP state. A node can be removed only when it contains no modules and no storage devices. Synopsis 
MANAGE NODE REMOVE node_name

​
NODE SHOW

This command shows the attributes of nodes. Synopsis 
MANAGE NODE SHOW [ FILTER STATE node_state ] [ DETAILED ] 
MANAGE NODE SHOW ATTR node_name [ FILTER ATTR attribute_name ]
This command has two variants:
  1. A list of nodes and their basic attributes
  2. A detailed list of attributes for a specific node
Parameters FILTER Filter the result by some criterion. In the first variant of this command, nodes can be filtered by state. In the second variant, attributes can be filtered by attribute name. Currently the filtering is by exact match, no support for regular expressions. Only one filter can be specified. DETAILED Show a more detailed list of attributes for each module. See more details in the Output section below. Output For the first variant, the output of the command is a tabular, with each row representing a node. The following table lists the columns of the output. If the DETAILED option is specified, then in addition to those columns, all the attributes listed below in the output of NODE SHOW ATTR command are also included for each node. In this variant, only their current values are shown and not their set values.
NameTypeDescription
NAMEStringThe name of the node
IDNumberThe identifier of the node. Assigned by Regatta.
STATEStringThe node state
INTERNAL_NETStringA comma-separated list of internal network addresses in the form of <ip_addr>:<port>
EXTERNAL_NETStringA comma-separated list of external network addresses in the form of <ip_addr>:<port>
For the second variant, the output of the command is tabular, with each row representing an attribute of the specified module. The following table lists the columns of the output.
NameTypeDescription
NAMEStringThe name of the attribute
CURRENT_VALUEStringThe current value of the attribute
SET_VALUEStringThe set value of the attribute – if different from the current value
REASONStringIf the current value differs from the set value, this column contains a reason for the difference. (For example, “Restart required”).
The SET_VALUE column is displayed only if it’s different than the current value. If it’s equal to the current value, the output cell is empty. The following table lists the rows included in the output:
NameDescription
NAMEThe name of the node
IDThe identifier of the node. Assigned by Regatta.
RAM_SIZEThe RAM size (in MB) that may be used by Regatta
SERVICE_PORTThe port number for Regatta support connection
EXTERNAL_SERVICE_NETExternal network address for Regatta service connection, in the form of <ip_addr>:<port>
DESCRIPTIONInformative description of the node
The SERVICE_PORT attribute applies to the internal network.

​
NODE MODIFY

This command modifies the properties of a node. Synopsis 
MANAGE NODE MODIFY node_name 
	[ NETWORK { ADD | REMOVE | SET } ( net_address [, ...] ) ] 
	[ RAM_SIZE [ size_in_mb ]
	[ DESCRIPTION free_text ]

where net_address is:

( { EXTERNAL | INTERNAL } IP ip_addr PORT port_num )
The command is accepted only if the system state is SETUP. Parameters NETWORK The NETWORK clause includes one or more network addresses. It can come with either of the following directives:
  • ADD – Adds the given network addresses to the list of existing addresses.
  • REMOVE – Remove each given network address from the list of existing addresses. Each removed network address must be an exact match to an existing one.
  • SET – Remove all the existing network addresses and replace them with the given network addresses.
RAM_SIZE Optional parameter. The amount of RAM (in MB) that the Regatta modules in this node may use. If specified without a value – Regatta may use all the available RAM. If modules already exist on the node and the specified value is less than what is already being used, the command will result in an error. DESCRIPTION Optional parameter. Free text that is added to the module.
