Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for instrumentation and control of workloads in a massively parallel processing database. Deployment is in a cluster which mirrors the cluster of the database to be controlled. The system includes data publishing modules, action agents, rules processing modules, deployment managers, rule compilation and management tools. Together these provide a distributed, fault tolerant system for the automated rules-based control of work in a database cluster. For example, in deploying an update, a deployment manager pushes the update to one or more nodes and instructs each of the one or more nodes to restart in a bootstrap mode. The deployment manager generates a respective configuration package for each of the one or more nodes, and restarts each of the one or more nodes in a production mode.
