DROP BACKEND

Description​

This statement is used to delete the BACKEND node (administrator only!)

grammar:

  • Find backend through host and port
ALTER SYSTEM DROP BACKEND "host:heartbeat_port"[,"host:heartbeat_port"...]
  • Find backend through backend_id
ALTER SYSTEM DROP BACKEND "id1","id2"...;

illustrate:

  1. host can be a hostname or an ip address
  2. heartbeat_port is the heartbeat port of the node
  3. Adding and deleting nodes is a synchronous operation. These two operations do not consider the existing data on the node, and the node is directly deleted from the metadata, please use it with caution.

Example​

  1. Delete two nodes

    ALTER SYSTEM DROP BACKEND "host1:port", "host2:port";
    ALTER SYSTEM DROP BACKEND "ids1", "ids2";
