saghm / monger Goto Github PK

A few things I think could improve usability. All of these are based on monger version 0.10.0.

Behavioral Changes

• monger delete X.Y doesn't work. It requires specifying X.Y.Z. This is inconsistent with both monger start and monger run.
• monger delete <version> doesn't clear the corresponding data files in ~/.monger/db/<version>. I can see the case for wanting to keep the data files around, though, so I'm not too invested in this one.
• The format for running a binary using monger is monger run 4.4 mongo but when starting a cluster with phil, it's phil single 4.4. This is super minor, but the inconsistency in the version placement makes it a little less ergonomic to use.

New Features

• Download versions from a custom URL.
• Update a version given a URL. This is useful when working with latest variants, which get updated pretty frequently, but have a stable URL. This is definitely a nice use case, so I'd understand if you don't think it belongs in a general-purpose tool.

EDIT: I think the "update a version" can be done as monger get --force, so that doesn't seem necessary.

It appears that the MacOS tarballs for 2.6 and below don't link to any SSL libraries, and therefore don't contain the string "ssl" in their URLS. This should be taken into account when generating URLS, as this currently makes it impossible to download pre-3.0 version on Mac.
