Configuring Rebalance Retries
- reference
Description
This gets and sets the configuration for rebalance retries. For an overview of rebalance and rebalance retries, see Rebalance.
Curl Syntax
curl -X GET -u <administrator>:<password>
http://<host>:<port>/pools/default/retryRebalance
curl -X POST -u Administrator:password
http://<host>:<port>/settings/retryRebalance
-d enabled=[ true | false ]
-d afterTimePeriod=[number-of-seconds]
-d maxAttempts=[number-of-attempts]
The afterTimePeriod parameter specifies the number of seconds that must elapse between successive retries: this must be an integer in the range of 5 to 3600.
The maxAttempts parameter specifies the maximum number of successive retries to be attempted: this must be an integer in the range of 1 to 3.
Responses
Success gives 200 OK, and returns an object containing status on pending rebalance retries.
Failure to authenticate gives 401 Unauthorized.
A malformed URI gives 404 Object Not Found.
Example
To obtain the cluster’s current rebalance settings by means of the REST API, use the GET /settings/retryRebalance http method and URI, as follows:
curl -X GET -u Administrator:password \ http://10.143.192.101:8091/settings/retryRebalance
If successful, the command returns the following object:
{"enabled":true,"afterTimePeriod":200,"maxAttempts":3}
This output shows that rebalance retry is enabled, with 200 seconds required to elapse before a retry is attempted, and a maximum of 3 retries possible.
To change the rebalance settings, use the POST method with the same URI, specifying appropriate values:
curl -X POST -u Administrator:password \ http://10.143.192.101:8091/settings/retryRebalance \ -d enabled=false \ -d afterTimePeriod=100 \ -d maxAttempts=2
If successful, the command returns the following object:
{"enabled":false,"afterTimePeriod":100,"maxAttempts":2}
This verifies that rebalance retry has been disabled, the required period between retries changed to 100 seconds, and the maximum number of retries changed to 2.
