Variables

var (
	Attrs = FlagInfo{
		Name: "attrs",
		Description: `
An ordered, colon-separated list of node attributes. Attributes are arbitrary
strings specifying machine capabilities. Machine capabilities might include
specialized hardware or number of cores (e.g. "gpu", "x16c"). For example:
<PRE>

  --attrs=x16c:gpu`,
	}

	Locality = FlagInfo{
		Name: "locality",
		Description: `
An ordered, comma-separated list of key-value pairs that describe the topography
of the machine. Topography might include country, datacenter or rack
designations. Data is automatically replicated to maximize diversities of each
tier. The order of tiers is used to determine the priority of the diversity, so
the more inclusive localities like country should come before less inclusive
localities like datacenter. The tiers and order must be the same on all nodes.
Including more tiers is better than including fewer. For example:
<PRE>

  --locality=country=us,region=us-west,datacenter=us-west-1b,rack=12
  --locality=country=ca,region=ca-east,datacenter=ca-east-2,rack=4

  --locality=planet=earth,province=manitoba,colo=secondary,power=3`,

	ZoneConfig = FlagInfo{
		Name:      "file",
		Shorthand: "f",
		Description: `
File to read the zone configuration from. Specify "-" to read from standard input.`,
	}

	ZoneDisableReplication = FlagInfo{
		Name: "disable-replication",
		Description: `
Disable replication in the zone by setting the desired replica count to 1.
Equivalent to setting 'num_replicas: 1' via -f.`,
	}

	Background = FlagInfo{
		Name: "background",
		Description: `
Start the server in the background. This is similar to appending "&"
to the command line, but when the server is started with --background,
control is not returned to the shell until the server is ready to
accept requests.`,
	}

	SQLMem = FlagInfo{
		Name: "max-sql-memory",
		Description: `
Maximum memory capacity available to store temporary data for SQL clients,
including prepared queries and intermediate data rows during query execution.
Accepts numbers interpreted as bytes, size suffixes (e.g. 1GB and 1GiB) or a
percentage of physical memory (e.g. 25%).
If left unspecified, defaults to 128MiB.
`,
	}

	SQLTempStorage = FlagInfo{
		Name: "max-disk-temp-storage",
		Description: `
Maximum storage capacity available to store temporary disk-based data for SQL
queries that exceed the memory budget (e.g. join, sorts, etc are sometimes able
to spill intermediate results to disk).
Accepts numbers interpreted as bytes, size suffixes (e.g. 32GB and 32GiB) or a
percentage of disk size (e.g. 10%).
If left unspecified, defaults to 32GiB.

The location of the temporary files is within the first store dir (see --store).
If expressed as a percentage, --max-disk-temp-storage is interpreted relative to
the size of the storage device on which the first store is placed. The temp
space usage is never counted towards any store usage (although it does share the
device with the first store) so, when configuring this, make sure that the size
of this temp storage plus the size of the first store don't exceed the capacity
of the storage device.
If the first store is an in-memory one (i.e. type=mem), then this temporary "disk"
data is also kept in-memory. A percentage value is interpreted as a percentage
of the available internal memory. If not specified, the default shifts to 100MiB
when the first store is in-memory.
`,
	}

	Cache = FlagInfo{
		Name: "cache",
		Description: `
Total size in bytes for caches, shared evenly if there are multiple
storage devices. Size suffixes are supported (e.g. 1GB and 1GiB).
If left unspecified, defaults to 128MiB. A percentage of physical memory
can also be specified (e.g. 25%).`,

<PRE>

Cockroach looks for certificates and keys inside the directory using the
following naming scheme:

  - CA certificate and key: ca.crt, ca.key
  - Server certificate and key: node.crt, node.key
  - Client certificate and key: client.<user>.crt, client.<user>.key

When running client commands, the user can be specified with the --user flag.
</PRE>

Keys have a minimum permission requirement of 0700 (rwx------). This restriction can be
disabled by setting the environment variable COCKROACH_SKIP_KEY_PERMISSION_CHECK to true.`,
	}

	// Server version of the certs directory flag, cannot be set through environment.

	CAKey = FlagInfo{
		Name:        "ca-key",
		EnvVar:      "COCKROACH_CA_KEY",
		Description: `Path to the CA key.`,
	}

	// TODO(tschottdorf): once clockless mode becomes non-experimental, explain it here:
	// <PRE>
	//
	// </PRE>
	// Specifying the string value 'experimental-clockless' instead of a duration runs the cluster
	// in clockless reads mode. In that mode, reads are routed through Raft and subsequently
	// performance is reduced, but clock synchronization is not relied upon for correctness.
	MaxOffset = FlagInfo{
		Name: "max-offset",
		Description: `
Maximum allowed clock offset for the cluster. If observed clock offsets exceed
this limit, servers will crash to minimize the likelihood of reading
inconsistent data. Increasing this value will increase the time to recovery of
failures as well as the frequency of uncertainty-based read restarts.
<PRE>

</PRE>
Note that this value must be the same on all nodes in the cluster. In order to
change it, all nodes in the cluster must be stopped simultaneously and restarted
with the new value.`,
	}

	Store = FlagInfo{
		Name:      "store",
		Shorthand: "s",
		Description: `
The file path to a storage device. This flag must be specified separately for
each storage device, for example:
<PRE>

  --store=/mnt/ssd01 --store=/mnt/ssd02 --store=/mnt/hda1

</PRE>
For each store, the "attrs" and "size" fields can be used to specify device
attributes and a maximum store size (see below). When one or both of these
fields are set, the "path" field label must be used for the path to the storage
device, for example:
<PRE>

  --store=path=/mnt/ssd01,attrs=ssd,size=20GiB

</PRE>
In most cases, node-level attributes are preferable to store-level attributes.
However, the "attrs" field can be used to match capabilities for storage of
individual databases or tables. For example, an OLTP database would probably
want to allocate space for its tables only on solid state devices, whereas
append-only time series might prefer cheaper spinning drives. Typical
attributes include whether the store is flash (ssd), spinny disk (hdd), or
in-memory (mem), as well as speeds and other specs. Attributes can be arbitrary
strings separated by colons, for example:
<PRE>

  --store=path=/mnt/hda1,attrs=hdd:7200rpm

</PRE>
The store size in the "size" field is not a guaranteed maximum but is used when
calculating free space for rebalancing purposes. The size can be specified
either in a bytes-based unit or as a percentage of hard drive space,
for example:
<PRE>

  --store=path=/mnt/ssd01,size=10000000000     -> 10000000000 bytes
  --store-path=/mnt/ssd01,size=20GB            -> 20000000000 bytes
  --store-path=/mnt/ssd01,size=20GiB           -> 21474836480 bytes
  --store-path=/mnt/ssd01,size=0.02TiB         -> 21474836480 bytes
  --store=path=/mnt/ssd01,size=20%             -> 20% of available space
  --store=path=/mnt/ssd01,size=0.2             -> 20% of available space
  --store=path=/mnt/ssd01,size=.2              -> 20% of available space

</PRE>
For an in-memory store, the "type" and "size" fields are required, and the
"path" field is forbidden. The "type" field must be set to "mem", and the
"size" field must be set to the true maximum bytes or percentage of available
memory that the store may consume, for example:
<PRE>

  --store=type=mem,size=20GiB
  --store=type=mem,size=90%

</PRE>
Commas are forbidden in all values, since they are used to separate fields.
Also, if you use equal signs in the file path to a store, you must use the
"path" field label.`,

	URL = FlagInfo{
		Name:   "url",
		EnvVar: "COCKROACH_URL",

		Name: "decommission",
		Description: `
If specified, decommissions the node and waits for it to rebalance before
shutting down the node.`,
	}

	Wait = FlagInfo{
		Name: "wait",
		Description: `
Specifies when to return after having marked the targets as decommissioning.
Takes any of the following values:
<PRE>

  - all:  waits until all target nodes' replica counts have dropped to zero.
    This is the default. Use this unless you are targeting down nodes. In the presence
    of down nodes, this will likely wait forever.
  - live: waits until all live target nodes' replica counts have dropped to zero.
    Use this when targeting down nodes only. When the process returns, manually verify
    that the cluster is fully replicated before proceeding with node removal.
  - none: marks the targets as decommissioning, but does not wait for the process to complete.
    Use when polling manually from an external system.

</PRE>`,
