[Hawkular-dev] Hawkular Metrics Openshift Containers

I have a new subproject in Hawkular Metrics which sets up creating components for Openshift/Fabric8 (https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-metrics/pull/200). There are 3 main parts Cassandra: creates a custom seed provider to support ReplicationControllers in Kubernetes, creates a folder/zip archive which can be used to generate a Docker image. It may make sense to move the Cassandra parts out to a separate project. Hawkular Metrics: creates a folder/zip archive which can be used to generate a Docker image Kubernetes: pulls everything together into a single kubernetes application. Can be used to deploy an application zip into fabric8 (via drag and drop in the web console or via the maven plugin) or deploy all the components into Openshift via the kubernetes.json configuration file. The docker images are not created and deployed to a docker registry as part of the build, it will just create a folder where you can run the docker build from. None of the maven docker plugins I looked at seemed to really work properly, so its still a manual process to do the build (and push to a registry). Its something which needs to be improved. The Cassandra service currently only supports adding new nodes to a cluster and not removing them via the ReplicationController. This is due to the replication factor being set to be 1 by default (which means when a node is removed, so is the data it contained). I believe the docker subproject of hawkular metrics is obsolete and can be removed (https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-metrics/tree/master/docker), but someone please correct me if I am wrong. It's scripts are referring to the console which no longer exists as part of the project. - Matt
