Gizzmo is a command-line client for managing gizzard clusters.

Installation is a simple gem install. You may find it useful to create a ~/.gizzmorc file, which is simply YAML key/values. The keys are the long-style command line option keys converted into Ruby-style variables. A common .gizzmorc will simply be:

host: localhost
port: 7920

Run ‘gizzmo help` for up-to-date usage.

BLOCKER=`gizzmo wrap com.twitter.gizzard.shards.BlockedShard a_shard`

gizzmo unwrap $BLOCKER

NEW_WEIGHT=1
REPL=`gizzmo wrap com.twitter.service.flock.edges.ReplicatingShard a_shard`
PARENT=`gizzmo links $REPL | cut -f 1 | grep -v $REPL | head -1`
gizzmo addlink $PARENT a_shard $NEW_WEIGHT
gizzmo unwrap $REPL

Contributions are welcome! Please send a pull request, or if you’re internal to Twitter, please make a branch! Commits to master, and/or patches without minimal test coverage will be rejected/reverted.

The tests may be somewhat difficult to run outside of Twitter. They assume that:

• You don’t mind blowing away the data in your dev environment.

• Your MySQL username and password are in the environment variables DB_USERNAME and DB_PASSWORD

To execute the tests:

1. Build the included test server (once):

   // create the database for the local nameserver
   echo "create database gizzard_test_integration_ns;" | mysql
   // retrieve test server dependencies
   cd test_server ; sbt update

2. Start the test server (with service, injector, management ports of 7918, 7919, 7920 respectively):

   cd test_server ; sbt "run 7918 7919 7920"
   

3. Run ./test/test.sh
