PD

PD is the abbreviation for Placement Driver. It is used to manage and schedule the TiKV cluster.

PD supports distribution and fault-tolerance by embedding etcd.

Build

1. Make sure ​Go​ (version 1.11+) is installed. For development, go 1.11.2+ is required.
2. Use make to install PD. PD is installed in the bin directory.

Usage

Command flags

See configuration.

Single Node with default ports

You can run pd-server directly on your local machine, if you want to connect to PD from outside, you can let PD listen on the host IP.

# Set correct HostIP here. 
export HostIP="192.168.199.105"

pd-server --name="pd" \
          --data-dir="pd" \
          --client-urls="http://${HostIP}:2379" \
          --peer-urls="http://${HostIP}:2380" \
          --log-file=pd.log

Using curl to see PD member:

curl http://${HostIP}:2379/v2/members

{"members":[{"id":"f62e88a6e81c149","name":"pd","peerURLs":["http://192.168.199.105:2380"],"clientURLs":["http://192.168.199.105:2379"]}]}

A better tool httpie is recommended:

http http://${HostIP}:2379/v2/members
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Content-Type: application/json

{
    "members": [
        {
            "clientURLs": [
                "http://192.168.199.105:2379"
            ], 
            "id": "f62e88a6e81c149", 
            "name": "pd", 
            "peerURLs": [
                "http://192.168.199.105:2380"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Docker

You can use the following command to build a PD image directly:

docker build -t pingcap/pd .

Or you can also use following command to get PD from Docker hub:

docker pull pingcap/pd

Run a single node with Docker:

# Set correct HostIP here. 
export HostIP="192.168.199.105"

docker run -d -p 2379:2379 -p 2380:2380 --name pd pingcap/pd \
          --name="pd" \
          --data-dir="pd" \
          --client-urls="http://0.0.0.0:2379" \
          --advertise-client-urls="http://${HostIP}:2379" \
          --peer-urls="http://0.0.0.0:2380" \
          --advertise-peer-urls="http://${HostIP}:2380" \
          --log-file=pd.log

Cluster

PD is a component in TiDB project, you must run it with TiDB and TiKV together, see TiDB-Ansible to learn how to set up the cluster and run them.

You can also use Docker to run the cluster.
