About the contents of this directory
====================================
This directory contains helper scripts to link the following tools together:
- mlaunch  (from mtools)
- m

Basically, all releases are managed under m, and the clusters started
by 'mlaunch'.
The helpers ensure you always start the right version of MongoDB for a
cluster you created with 'mlaunch'.
Also, it helps manage the ports if you run many clusters in parallel on
your machine.

Dependencies
============
- yq
- m
- mtools

Install
=======
run setup.sh for osx or install the dependencies by hand.

How to use those tools
======================
Customize your cluster by changing the following files:
- cluster_config.yml

Then:
- create and start a cluster with './init'
- stop a cluster with 'mlaunch stop'
- restart a cluster with './start' 
- reinitiate a cluster by first removing the 'data' directory (ensure all mongo processes are dead too)
- start a mongo shell to the primary port of the cluster with './mongo'
