MEMSQL-STOP

On this page

Stops a SingleStore node given a SingleStore node ID.

Usage

usage: memsql-ops memsql-stop [--settings-file SETTINGS_FILE] [--async]
[--all] [--no-prompt] [--hard-stop]
[--timeout TIMEOUT]
[memsql_id]
Stop a SingleStore node.
positional arguments:
memsql_id The ID of the SingleStore node to stop.
optional arguments:
--settings-file SETTINGS_FILE
A path to a MemSQL Ops settings.conf file. If not set,
we will use the file in the same directory as the
MemSQL Ops binary.
--async If this option is true, we will exit without waiting
for SingleStore to be fully stopped.
--all Stop all SingleStore nodes in the cluster.
--no-prompt Skip interactive prompts if ID is not provided. This
should be used for non-interactive scripts and
automation.
--hard-stop If true, we will kill the SingleStore process instead of
stopping it.
--timeout TIMEOUT Number of seconds to wait for the SingleStore nodes to
stop. The default is 300 seconds.

Notes

When stopping a leaf, you should detach it from the cluster first to avoid possibly losing unreplicated data in asynchronous replication mode on that leaf. See DETACH LEAF for more information on this command.

Stopping the master aggregator will leave your cluster without a master aggregator. A master aggregator is required to handle automatic partition failover and DDL operations. Thus, if you plan on stopping the master aggregator for an extended period of time, you should promote another aggregator to master aggregator to preserve availability of all services. See PROMOTE AGGREGATOR … TO MASTER for more information on this command.

If aggregator_failure_detection is set to ON, stopping half or more of the aggregators will cause the other aggregators to stop. Aggregator failure detection is meant to protect data integrity in case of network partitions and is on by default. However, if you stop half of the aggregators and want to keep the other half online, set the global variable aggregator_failure_detection to OFF before stopping the aggregators, and set it back to ON after restarting the aggregators.
