Last active August 1, 2019 17:28 — forked from miguno/kafka-move-leadership.sh
A simple Ops helper script for Apache Kafka to generate a partition reassignment JSON snippet for moving partition leadership away from a given Kafka broker. Use cases include 1) safely restarting a broker while minimizing risk of data loss, 2) replacing a broker, 3) preparing a broker for maintenance. 
JMX_PORT=10203 ./kafka-move-leadership.sh --zookeeper 10.40.0.2:2181,10.40.0.3:2181,10.40.0.4:2181 --broker-id 913231889 --first-broker-id 276559255 --last-broker-id 276559255

ruby-1.9.3-p0 cumulative performance patch.

Patched ruby 1.9.3-p0 for 30% faster rails boot

What is?

This script installs a patched version of ruby 1.9.3-p0 with patches to make ruby-debug work again (#47) and boot-time performance improvements (#66 and #68), and runtime performance improvements (#83 and #84).

Chef: Handling older Amazon AMI instances running sysklogd instead of rsyslog
# In the rsyslog/recipe/default.rb, wrap the "package: command:
# We have to hack around yum dependency resolution since Amazon's Linux AMI is already using sysklogd
# and yum doesn't handle the swap out well enough
if platform?("amazon") && node['platform_version'] == "2010.11.2" # <== This is the version we are running.
# This was changed in version 2011.02, so any instances launched after that should be fine.
# No idea about other version numbers
