Now, the basic core features of pomelo have been presented before by examples. There are also some functionalities not covered in previous tutorial, and we put them here to make a brief description. At last, we make a summary for this whole tutorial.
Pomelo provides a command-line tool to help developers develop more conviently and easily. Since pomelo 0.6.0, Username/password is required for authentication while using this tool, its command line format is as follows:
$ pomelo [list|stop|kill] [-u <username>] [-p <password>]
pomelo-cli provides more powerful capabilities to monitor and mange the server cluster.
Pomelo provides a plugin-based extension mechanism, a plugin can contain some related components and a set of event handlers for internal events of pomelo, more detail is presented at [plugin reference documentation] (https://github.com/NetEase/pomelo/wiki/plugin).
