> Self-healing: We don’t have a dedicated devops team (yet), so search needed to be able to tolerate failures with minimal to no operator intervention.
Do people not hire small business support technicians anymore? I worked for a guy when I was a teen who took support contacts to manage small business networks. He would call me and send me to fix a router when something broke. He couldn't have charged more than $2K per month, basically just to be on-call. That's 24k a year for an on-call ops tech, that's fairly cheap I think.
(Also, "self-healing"? Is this different from hooking up a service request with timeout to an APC with remote power and rebooting the sucker?)
> Of course, this entire search infrastructure would be incomplete without a way to discover clusters and the hosts within them from the application layer.
((If you want something that isn't complicated to use or maintain, why would you rely on technologies which use complicated decentralized algorithms just to find them??))
