Docker container name specification
Every container is assigned to an installation ID of Ingres. No container is shared between Ingres/X100 instances. However the images are potentially shared, which is why we must be careful in removing images as they can be used by a different Ingres installation.
To ease management of the containers, the containers get distinguishable names. The dockman run command accepts a name for a container which can be used in all following commands to identify the container.
The name of the container is built as follows:
<instance_id>_<artefact-name>[_<sub_id>]
The components are:
Instance ID
The instance ID of the Ingres installation as it can be shown by ingprenv II_INSTALLATION
Artefact Name
The artefact name specifies the concrete service, like UDFs, or Spark.
Sub ID (optional)
This can have any format. For example, TensoFflow includes the model name and the listen port to guarantee uniqueness. UDF uses a number.
