DESCRIPTION:

Installs and configures MongoDB, supporting:

  • Single MongoDB
  • Replication
  • Sharding
  • Replication and Sharding
  • 10gen repository package installation

REQUIREMENTS:

Platform:

The cookbook aims to be platform independant, but is best tested on debian squeeze systems.

The 10gen_repo recipe currently supports only the Debian and Ubuntu 10gen repository.
Patches for other platforms are welcome.

DEFINITIONS:

This cookbook contains a definition mongodb_instance which can be used to configure
a certain type of mongodb instance, like the default mongodb or various components
of a sharded setup.

For examples see the USAGE section below.

ATTRIBUTES:

  • mongodb[:dbpath] - Location for mongodb data directory, defaults to "/var/lib/mongodb"
  • mongodb[:logpath] - Path for the logfiles, default is "/var/log/mongodb"
  • mongodb[:port] - Port the mongod listens on, default is 27017
  • mongodb[:client_role] - Role identifing all external clients which should have access to a mongod instance
  • mongodb[:cluster_name] - Name of the cluster, all members of the cluster must reference to the same name, as this name is used internally to identify all members of a cluster.
  • mongodb[:shard_name] - Name of a shard, default is "default"
  • mongodb[:sharded_collections] - Define which collections are sharded

USAGE:

10gen repository

Adds the stable 10gen repo for the
corresponding platform. Currently only implemented for the Debian and Ubuntu repository.

Usage: just add recipe[mongodb::10gen_repo] to the node run_list before any other
MongoDB recipe, and the mongodb-10gen stable packages will be installed instead of the distribution default.

Single mongodb instance

Simply add

include_recipe "mongodb::default"

to your recipe. This will run the mongodb instance as configured by your distribution.
You can change the dbpath, logpath and port settings (see ATTRIBUTES) for this node by
using the mongodb_instance definition:

mongodb_instance "mongodb" do
  port node['application']['port']
end

This definition also allows you to run another mongod instance with a different
name on the same node

mongodb_instance "my_instance" do
  port node['mongodb']['port'] + 100
  dbpath "/data/"
end

The result is a new system service with

  /etc/init.d/my_instance <start|stop|restart|status>

Replicasets

Add mongodb::replicaset to the node's run_list. Also choose a name for your
replicaset cluster and set the value of node[:mongodb][:cluster_name] for each
member to this name.

Sharding

You need a few more components, but the idea is the same: identification of the
members with their different internal roles (mongos, configserver, etc.) is done via
the node[:mongodb][:cluster_name] and node[:mongodb][:shard_name] attributes.

Let's have a look at a simple sharding setup, consisting of two shard servers, one
config server and one mongos.

First we would like to configure the two shards. For doing so, just use
mongodb::shard in the node's run_list and define a unique mongodb[:shard_name]
for each of these two nodes, say "shard1" and "shard2".

Then configure a node to act as a config server - by using the mongodb::configserver
recipe.

And finally you need to configure the mongos. This can be done by using the
mongodb::mongos recipe. The mongos needs some special configuration, as these
mongos are actually doing the configuration of the whole sharded cluster.
Most importantly you need to define what collections should be sharded by setting the
attribute mongodb[:sharded_collections]:

{
  "mongodb": {
    "sharded_collections": {
      "test.addressbook": "name",
      "mydatabase.calendar": "date"
    }
  }
}

Now mongos will automatically enable sharding for the "test" and the "mydatabase"
database. Also the "addressbook" and the "calendar" collection will be sharded,
with sharding key "name" resp. "date".
In the context of a sharding cluster always keep in mind to use a single role
which is added to all members of the cluster to identify all member nodes.
Also shard names are important to distinguish the different shards.
This is esp. important when you want to replicate shards.

Sharding + Replication

The setup is not much different to the one described above. All you have to do is adding the
mongodb::replicaset recipe to all shard nodes, and make sure that all shard
nodes which should be in the same replicaset have the same shard name.

For more details, you can find a tutorial for Sharding + Replication in the wiki.
