I wonder if they improved Cluster setup with this release. If you tried without DC/OS, it was painful experience. Arangodb Starter was definitely a step in right direction.
Hi, it's Frank from ArangoDB. We have now included the starter in the package. It is now possible to start a cluster with a single command line. For example, to start a test cluster on a single machine, "arangodb --starter.local" is all you need to type. Starting on 3 machines requires a "arangodb" on the first machine and "arangodb --dataDir=./dbX --join serverX1" on the others.
Thanks Frank. I wonder if Web Fronted is in order akin to Counchbase setup process. Ultimately CLI tools are of course the king of the Ops world when maintaining clusters. Simple Web app can go long way though for attracting new users. First impression matters. My 2c.
Although it showcases fault-tolerance in Foxx specifically, it's really a demo of setting up a cluster with Arango Starter and we wouldn't have been to make Foxx so resilient in 3.2 without the hard work of the cluster team providing the stability underneath.

Thanks! Yeah, some features we wanted in 3.2 ended up taking longer to polish than anticipated so the rest of us were able to work on features that would have otherwise been scheduled for 3.3 I guess :)
