Synchronize nodes with bittorent #157

Open mostlyobvious opened 11 years ago

mostlyobvious commented 11 years ago

Would it make sense to synchronize nodes using bittorrent instead of rsync when reaching node:all, especially with high --concurrency setting?

There's already a tool that does it: https://github.com/lg/murder and I was wondering whether is it worth exploring this idea in the context of littlechef. What do you think?

Wow, that is a crazy idea :smile:

Of course bittorrent distribution would not pose a bottleneck as rsync may do with high concurrency. On the other hand if we start thinking on this terms, then you get into MCollective & co territory, and we would have to rethink the purpose of LittleChef.

Has been node synching/rsync a problem for you?
