How To: use the simple example with the dgraph kubernetes HA deployment?

[goern]

I have been using the dgraph-ha.yaml to deploy dgraph to kubernetes, now I wanted to use the simple example to talk to that cluster. How do I do that?

It won't run out of the box because it's hardcoded to connect to localhost:9080 but it should work as long as you change that to host_where_alpha_is_running:grpc_port

From looking at that file, the grpc port should still be 9080.

hmm, it tells me something like

Traceback (most recent call last):

Seems to be an issue with the kubernetes support rather than pydgraph. Can you open a new topic in discuss.dgraph.io? Questions regarding usage, etc. are better there.

It's there a low level grpc tool i can use for testing the connection? Something that shows me that there is a good grpc handshake?

I am not aware of anything like that. I'd check if you can hit the hostname / port over tcp first.
