Remote Engine Cluster - what is the benefits?

[farid1]

It is mentioned that:

"Currently it is not possible to configure failover and load balacing relationships between Remote Engines."

So, then what is the main purpose of using cluster? is it only for grouping remote engines?

Hey Farid,

you can create a Cluster with Talend Remote Engine

Hi Pierre,

thanks for your reply. But what will be the benefit of using "Remote Engine Cluster"? Will they do the same task twice? or will there be load balancing? of active-passive engines?

The task will run in the first Remote Engine avaiable. It's used for failover and a litle bit "loadbalancing".

For exemple if you had 3 remote engine & two task

We have a queue of Remote

1. Remote 1
2. Remote 2
3. Remote 3

First Task : Assign to the first Remote --> The queue order change to promote Remote Engine not used

1. Remote 2
2. Remote 3
3. Remote 1 : Task 1 runing

The second task will execute in Remote 2 and then the queue order change for next task

1. Remote 3
2. Remote 1  : Task 1 runing
3. Remote 2  : Task 2 runing
