Nodes cannot join an existing cluster

[carmstrong]

A limitation of the cookbook is that using any of the LWRPs for buckets or clusters only checks the local node. So, installing Couchbase and setting up a cluster with couchbase_cluster will always result in a new cluster, instead of joining an existing cluster if it already exists. This behavior is commonly desired in environments.

Are there any other cookbooks available to solve this?

[mhalligan]

Any thoughts on this issue, or is this cookbook abandonware? (If so, any suggestions for a maintained cookbook?)

[juliandunn]

I don't use/maintain this cookbook anymore as I don't use Couchbase. @ToddGreenstein from Couchbase, Inc. has been added as a committer, so that might be an angle.
