Configurator - new version 2.1

The Configurator has undergone some serious fixing as 2.0 had some issues.
Here is a brief list of the enhancements:
  • error handing and progress reports - I have rewritten almost all scripts with better error handling and progress reports. E.g, if a node fails to start during a rolling restart, then the rolling restart script is aborted and you get a suggestion how to recover. If you run start-cluster-initial.sh on an already started cluster, it will refuse to run. There are many more changes like this to check the status of the nodes (both data nodes and sql nodes) during startup
  • download link to package - When you have entered the email address, then you will also get a link where to download the package, in case you experience problems with receiving the email (I have raised an issue to the hosting company about this)
  • restructure - I have also moved the install scripts to scripts/install and the monit scripts to scipts/extra. The install_initd_linux.sh uses chkconfig and it does not work on all linux distros. Going to fix that.
  • bugs - fixed a number of small bugs and annoyances.
