locators

Description

List of locators used by system members. The list must be configured consistently for every member of the distributed system. If the list is empty, locators are not used.

For each locator, provide a host name and/or address (separated by '@', if you use both), followed by a port number in brackets. Examples:

locators=address1[port1],address2[port2]

locators=hostName1@address1[port1],name2@address2[port2]

locators=hostName1[port1],name2[port2]

Note

On multi-homed hosts, this last notation uses the default address. If you use bind addresses for your locators, explicitly specify the addresses in the locator's list - do not use just the hostname.

Usage

To start multiple locators in a cluster modify the following files:

  • conf/locators

    localhost -peer-discovery-address=localhost -peer-discovery-port=3241 -locators=localhost:3242
localhost -peer-discovery-address=localhost -peer-discovery-port=3242 -locators=localhost:3241

  • conf/servers

    localhost -locators=localhost:3241,localhost:3242

  • conf/leads

    localhost -locators=localhost:3241,localhost:3242
