Provisioning Cluster Resources

      +
      Provisioning cluster resources is managed at the collection or bucket level, depending upon the service affected. Common use cases are outlined here, less common use cases are covered in the API docs.

      The primary means for managing clusters is through the Couchbase Web UI which provides an easy to use interface for adding, removing, monitoring and modifying buckets. In some instances you may wish to have a programmatic interface. For example, if you wish to manage a cluster from a setup script, or if you are setting up buckets in test scaffolding.

      The C SDK also comes with some convenience functionality for common Couchbase management requests.

      When using a Couchbase version earlier than 6.5, you must create a valid Bucket connection before you can use cluster level managers.

      Creating and Removing Buckets

      The ClusterManager interface may be used to create and delete buckets from the Couchbase cluster. It is instantiated through the lcb_create() method — see the bucket creation example here.

      And the dropping bucket example.

      Note that any property that is not explicitly set when building the bucket settings will use the default value. In the case of the update, this is not necessarily the currently configured value, so you should be careful to set all properties to their correct expected values when updating an existing bucket configuration.

      Flushing Buckets

      When a bucket is flushed, all content is removed. Because this operation is potentially dangerous it is disabled by default for each bucket. Bucket flushing may be useful in test environments where it becomes a simpler alternative to removing and creating a test bucket. You may enable bucket flushing on a per-bucket basis using the Couchbase Web Console or when creating a bucket.

      You can flush a bucket in the SDK by using the lcb_cbflush3() method.

      The lcb_cbflush3() operation may fail if the bucket does not have flush enabled, in that case it will return an ErrBucketNotFlushable.

      See the example here.
