Please do not deprecate this chart!

Open abronin opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

The new official helm chart is hard to manage and hard to use in production. Here are main reasons:

  • There is literally no way to specify nodeSelector, custom affinity and tolerations. This is critical for production deployments because we often want to run Neo4j on dedicated nodes and this is just impossible with the new chart.
  • We need to manage separate releases for each new node in the cluster with the new official helm chart. This is very strange and completely opposite approach compared with the charts for other clustered databases (see bitnami's Kafka, Postgres, etc.). That is fine to define cores using CRDs if we have an operator but separate releases for each node with just a statefulset is something really strange.

I understand that there may be multiple important reasons for deprecating this community developed helm chart but maybe comments and +1 for this issue may help developers to react and support us.
