Outdated statement about resharding with cluster mode enabled
hwatts opened this issue · 2 comments
In redis/CacheNodes.NodeGroups.md, there's the following statement, which caused us some confusion:
When you create a Redis (cluster mode enabled) cluster, you specify from 1 to 15 shards. Currently, however, unlike Redis (cluster mode disabled) clusters, once a Redis (cluster mode enabled) cluster is created, its structure cannot be altered in any way; you cannot add or delete nodes or shards. If you need to add or delete nodes, or change node types, you must create the cluster anew.
Is this still correct since it seems online resharding is now supported for Redis clusters, or am I misunderstanding the context here?
Cluster Mode Enabled - has conflicting documentation in the User Guide.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/red-ug/redis-ug.pdf
After a Redis (cluster mode enabled) cluster is created, its structure can't be altered in any way. You can't add or delete nodes or shards. If you need to add or delete nodes, or change node types, you must create the cluster again.
...Replace any node in a Redis (cluster mode enabled) shard – To replace the node in a cluster with no
downtime, use online resharding. First add a shard by scaling out, and then delete the shard with the
node to be replaced by scaling in.
To replace any node in a Redis (cluster mode enabled) cluster
- Scale out: Add an additional shard with the same configuration as the existing shard with the node
to be replaced. For more information, see Adding Shards with Online Resharding (p. 252).
