Hi here, I just create a pull request to TiUP implementing my previous proposed feature “fruitful playground”.
It introduces a new options name mode with which you can switch the default value set among tidb mode or tikv-slim mode.
For details, in tidb mode, which is the default mode, default value set as
--db 1 // 1 TiDB instance
--kv 1 // 1 TiKV instance
--pd 1 // 1 PD instance
--tiflash 1 // 1 TiFlash instance
--db.timeout 60 // TiDB max wait time in seconds for starting
--tiflash.timeout 60 // TiFlash max wait time in seconds for starting
--host 127.0.0.1 // Playground cluster host
--monitor true // Start prometheus and grafana component
and in tikv-slim, tidb and tiflash instance are excluded
--kv 1 // 1 TiKV instance
--pd 1 // 1 PD instance
--host 127.0.0.1 // Playground cluster host
--monitor true // Start prometheus and grafana component
In short, you can now use
tiup playground --mode tikv-slim
to run a tikv only cluster and populate other options gradually.
I’ll appreciate if you help review the pull request, test the patch locally, or comment with any feedback
