add-aggregator

Description

Add an aggregator node to the cluster.

This command must be run from the same host that the master aggregator is currently running on.

After memsqlctl connects to the node specified by the user, it runs the query ADD AGGREGATOR user:password@host:port on the master aggregator.

The --password flag is required and specifies the SingleStoreroot password. You can use this flag in conjunction with the --user flag to specify a SingleStore user that is different from the root user and the user’s password.

Note that the MEMSQL_PASSWORD environment variable is a safer alternative option for setting the password.

Wrap the password in single quotes (') to avoid having special characters included in the password interpreted by the shell. For example: sdb-admin add-aggregator --port 3306 --password '<<fooismypassword'

Usage

Usage:
memsqlctl add-aggregator [flags]
Flags:
-h, --help Help for add-aggregator
--host string The cluster-addressable hostname for the node
-p, --password STRING The database user's password
--port PORT The cluster-addressable port for the node (default 3306)
--role {follower, voting_member} The role that an aggregator will be assigned when added.
This option identifies whether the added aggregator will be a candidate for Master Aggregator failover.
Possible roles are voting_member and follower. The default value is follower. (default follower)
--user string The database user (default "root")
Global Flags:
-c, --config FILE_PATH Path to the memsqctl config file
--default-install-dir DIRECTORY_PATH Path to the default install directory
--insecure-ssl Fall back to insecure SSL connections to local SingleStore nodes if memsqlctl is unable to otherwise establish a connection (ADVANCED)
-j, --json Print output in JSON format
--node-metadata-file FILE_PATH Path to the node metadata file
--parallelism POSITIVE_INTEGER Maximum amount of operations to be run in parallel
--ssl-ca FILE_PATH The path to the CA certificate file (in PEM format) to authenticate the database certificate
--timeout duration Maximum time for operation to complete (e.g., 30s, 10m, 1.5h)
--verbose-json Print output in JSON format, include some warnings and user messages
-v, --verbosity count Increase logging verbosity
-y, --yes Enable non-interactive mode and assume the user would like to move forward with the proposed actions by default

Remarks

  • This command is interactive unless you use either --yes or --json flag to override interactive behavior.

  • The memsqlctl add-aggregator command is equivalent to the sdb-admin add-aggregator command.

Output

The following is the standard output for the add-aggregator command.

sudo memsqlctl add-aggregator --host "172.17.0.6"
memsqlctl will perform the following actions on the local master aggregator on port 3306:
  · Run `ADD AGGREGATOR root:@172.17.0.6:3306`

Would you like to continue? [y/N]: y
✓ Added aggregator 172.17.0.6:3306 to cluster
