Service Manager Features

Overview

The service manager is the foundation of the Riak Data Platform (BDP). It provides a means for building a cluster of nodes that can deploy, run, and manage platform services. Note that Riak KV is included with BDP, and use of BDP assumes familiarity with Riak KV.

For information on usage check out data-platform-admin command-line interface.

Data Replication and Synchronization

Replicate and synchronize data across and between Riak and Spark, Redis, and Solr service instances to ensure data accuracy with no data loss and high availability.

Cluster Management & Monitoring

Integrated cluster management automates deployment and configuration of Riak KV, Riak S2, Spark, and Redis. Once deployed in production, auto-detect issues and restart Redis instances or Spark clusters. Cluster management eliminates the need for Zookeeper.

Internal Data Store

A built-in, distributed data store for ensuring speed, fault-tolerance, and ease-of-operations is used to persist static and dynamic configuration data (port number and IP address) across the Riak Data Platform.

Logging and Troubleshooting

Event logs provide valuable information that can facilitate the enhanced tuning of clusters and accurately analyze dataflow across the cluster.
