More info on how coordinator/daemon are started per tutorial. It seems that some config steps are missed in tutorial maybe ..

1. able to start coordinator

python -m hdcoordinator.coordinator --control-port 6970 --host-port 1234 --logging debug

INFO:root:Host ID XXX identifies as instance
DEBUG:root:Host ID XXX is CONFIGPENDING; reconfiguring
DEBUG:root:Host ID XXX acknowledges config

2. able to start daemon

hyperdex-daemon 127.0.0.1 1234 127.0.0.2 /tmp

E0224 10:52:36.367226 18288 daemon.cc:149] We've been configured to a dummy node.

3. However, it seems that coordinator does not know how to configure when daemon starts ...

a) coordinator notes that HOST ID is XXX. How to specify host id?
b) coordinator notes HOST ID XXX is CONFIGPENDING; reconfiguring
What does a) b) mean? Does it mean config is incomplete? Does it mean daemon is not started successfully?
c) what's missing? how to proceed?

This is a temporary issue. In HEAD there is a tool which locally validates the space description, and provides much more feedback for debugging issues like this. There will be a release including this tool early next week.

For now, let's debug the current code on your machine. Can you give me a transcript of your terminal session when netcat fails? I sometimes missed the trailing "." which is on a line by itself, but if that is not the issue, it'll help to see exactly what was typed.

Hey Robert,

Thanks a lot for your reply. It is true the problem in my netcat script is that I missed the ending "." So your hints corrected this problem.

However, moving forward, I had problem to run python client to insert a record into the table/space created using netcat.

What can I miss?

Thx in advance,
Annie

1. Problem to insert records into table/space per tutorial

import hyperclient
c = hyperclient.Client('127.0.0.1', 1234)
c.insert('phonebook', 'jsmith1', {'first': 'John', 'last': 'Smith','phone': 6075551024})
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "hyperclient.pyx", line 342, in hyperclient.Client.insert (hyperclient/python/hyperclient.c:4644)
File "hyperclient.pyx", line 356, in hyperclient.Client.async_insert (hyperclient/python/hyperclient.c:5120)
File "hyperclient.pyx", line 207, in hyperclient.DeferredInsert.cinit (hyperclient/python/hyperclient.c:2518)
hyperclient.HyperClientException: Connection Failure

2. I examined the table/space created on my local disk:

ls -al hyperdex/
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 5 nokia nokia 4096 Feb 27 15:46 .

No worries. I re-tried python client commands, and able to insert records. It will be nice to have more meaningful error msg for debugging :)

Thanks for help.

Mark this issue is resolved.
