PD

PD is the abbreviation for Placement Driver. It manages and schedules TiKV clusters.

PD supports fault-tolerance by embedding etcd.

Build

1. Make sure Go (version 1.23) is installed.
2. Use make to install PD. pd-server will be installed in the bin directory.

Usage

PD can be configured using command-line flags. For more information, see PD Configuration Flags.

Single node with default ports

You can run pd-server directly on your local machine. If you want to connect to PD from outside, you can let PD listen on the host IP.

# Set HOST_IP to the address you want to listen on
export HOST_IP="192.168.199.105"

pd-server --name="pd" \
          --data-dir="pd" \
          --client-urls="http://${HOST_IP}:2379" \
          --peer-urls="http://${HOST_IP}:2380" \
          --log-file=pd.log

Using curl to view PD members:

curl http://${HOST_IP}:2379/pd/api/v1/members

{
  "members": [
    {
      "name": "pd",
      "member_id": 15980934438217023866,
      "peer_urls": [
        "http://192.168.199.105:2380"
      ],
      "client_urls": [
        "http://192.168.199.105:2379"
      ],
      "deploy_path": "/",
      "binary_version": "v6.1.3",
      "git_hash": "1a4e975892512a97fb0e5b45c9be69aa76148793"
    }
  ]
}

You can also use httpie to call the API:

http http://${HOST_IP}:2379/pd/api/v1/members

      "peer_urls": [
        "http://192.168.199.105:2380"

      "git_hash": "1a4e975892512a97fb0e5b45c9be69aa76148793"
    }
  ]
}

Docker

You can choose one of the following methods to get a PD image:

• Build locally:

  docker build -t pingcap/pd .
  

• Pull from Docker Hub:

  docker pull pingcap/pd
  

Then you can run a single node using the following command:

# Set HOST_IP to the address you want to listen on
export HOST_IP="192.168.199.105"

docker run -d -p 2379:2379 -p 2380:2380 --name pd pingcap/pd \
          --name="pd" \
          --data-dir="pd" \
          --client-urls="http://0.0.0.0:2379" \
          --advertise-client-urls="http://${HOST_IP}:2379" \
          --peer-urls="http://0.0.0.0:2380" \
          --advertise-peer-urls="http://${HOST_IP}:2380" \
          --log-file=pd.log

Cluster

As a component of the TiKV project, PD needs to run with TiKV to work. The cluster can also include TiDB to provide SQL services. For detailed instructions to deploy a cluster, refer to Deploy a TiDB Cluster Using TiUP or TiDB on Kubernetes Documentation.
