n1ql connection failover

hello,
When invoking N1QL , we need to call;

cbq -engine=http://<IP_QUERY_NODE>:8093

I have configured 2 query nodes in my cluster and my question is;
is there a way to direct the cbq connection to the available query node at a time.
If my query node server 1 is down or unreachable for any reason, I want the cbq to try the second node IP.

thanks,
W

Hi W,

That feature is not yet available with cbq, it will be in the next release of cbq. However, if you use the go_n1ql library (https://github.com/couchbaselabs/go_n1ql) then that supports failover.

Hi @manik
I don’t use that library … is there a way to catch an exception in a shell UNIX script when connecting to one query node or a timeout?
I only have 2 query nodes, so this can work also.

Hi @couchbwiss,
I hope this can help you detect the error, https://www.turnkeylinux.org/blog/shell-error-handling
