Multi-node Cluster Issue

[tarpanpathak]

I'm using Nomad to deploy a cluster of rethinkdb containers. I tried several different Docker images and Nomad configs but each container comes up as a leader and never joins the cluster/leader. The logs do NOT hint at why so any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if more information is required to reproduce this.

I think seeing the command lines used to launch the RethinkDB instances is the first piece of information needed.

Tried two different approaches but get the same result.

Method 1: Brought up the leader using the first command and the followers using the second:

command = "rethinkdb"
args = [ "--bind", "all" ]

command = "rethinkdb"
args = [ "--bind", "all", "-j", "leader_ip:port"]

Method 2: Brought up all containers (through Nomad) at the same time using:

command = "rethinkdb"
args = [ "--bind", "all", "-j", "${NOMAD_TASK_NAME}-0"] # Uses an alias that is `query-able' across containers

Let me know if you need more info.
