Release Announcement and Discussion of Typesense Operator on Kubernetes

TLDR Sai announced the release of the Typesense Operator for Kubernetes and discussed its features. Kishore Nallan highlighted a potential issue with rotation, which Sai explained is managed internally given the operator uses service DNS connections. Kishore Nallan recommended highlighting this in the README.

This is great. We certainly miss a good Kubernetes chart / operator. One of the pain points people have had though is with rotation. Because of the way the library that we use for Raft works, the cluster either should use static IPs or the pod rotation should be 1 at a time. This causes a lot of problems on k8s when you don't enable proper pod disruption budget. Lately though I've created a reset-peers-on-error flag for auto healing clustering, see here: https://github.com/typesense/typesense/issues/465#issuecomment-1487780839

Thanks Kishore Nallan. The operator internally uses service DNS to connect so scaling up or down shouldn't be a problem.
Kindly go through it and let me know if I'm missing or can make it better. I would be actively taking feedbacks and working towards it.
Also please spread the word 🙂

I see. You should probably clarify this on the README because it's the trickiest part of running TS on k8s right now.

Sure I will.

Testing High Availability with Raft Returns Crashes

pboros reports an issue with usual crashes when testing high availability with Raft. Kishore Nallan suggests checking the quorum recovery period and efficiently logging the crash on all nodes. The issue persists, with pboros suspecting it's due to hostname being no longer resolvable once a container is killed.
