Node:Sending remote requests, Next:Indexing, Previous:Beginning to use Mingle, Up:Top
You can send a request from any Mingle host to any remote Mingle server
using the -r option followed by a remote host list:
mingle command -r host-list
where the host-list is of the following format:
host1:port1 host2:port2 ...
For example,
mingle search bovik -r area51 grassyknoll:3000
will forward the request of searching keyword bovik to the host
area51 at the default Mingle port 7018 and the host grassyknoll at
port 3000.
As another example,
mingle index /home/bovik/test -r area51
will request the remote host area51 to index the directory
/home/bovik/test (Note: the /home/bovik/test directory should be a
valid directory at area51 before indexing).
If the host-list is specified as all, then the local Mingle server
forwards the corresponding request to all the Mingle servers inside the
Mingle cluster. For example,
mingle search bovik -r all
