mcrouter

Install mcrouter and its dependencies, and provide mechanisms to configure and start mcrouter.

This cookbook can, optionally, install a copy of memcached to use locally. This can be disabled by setting node['mcrouter']['local_memcached'] to false.

Requirements

• apt cookbook
• git cookbook
• memcached cookbook
• magic cookbook

Usage

• Include mcrouter::default in your node’s run list.

If you wish to customize any of the configuration for mcrouter, you will want to edit the two attributes used to populate the config file and the CLI arguments passed to mcrouter on service start:

• node['mcrouter']['cli_opts']
  • Do not overwrite this completely; the values specified already are required, instead, either:
    • supply updated values for these in addition to your new options
    • specify your particular CLI option: set['mcrouter']['cli_opts']['async-dir']
• node['mcrouter']['config']
