-<p>Operators are basic building blocks of an application built to run on
-Apache Apex�platform. An application may consist of one or more
-operators each of which define some logical operation to be done on the
-tuples arriving at the operator. These operators are connected together
-using streams forming a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). In other words, a streaming
-application is represented by a DAG that consists of operations (called operators) and
-data flow (called streams).</p>
-<p>In this document we will discuss details on how an operator works and
-its internals. This document is intended to serve the following purposes</p>

-<h2 id="operators-what-in-a-nutshell">Operators - \u201cWhat\u201d in a nutshell</h2>
-<p>Operators are independent units of logical operations which can
-contribute in executing the business logic of a use case. For example,
-in an ETL workflow, a filtering operation can be represented by a single
-operator. This filtering operator will be responsible for doing just one
-task in the ETL pipeline, i.e. filter incoming tuples. Operators do not
-impose any restrictions on what can or cannot be done as part of a
-operator. An operator may as well contain the entire business logic.
-However, it is recommended, that the operators are light weight
-independent tasks, in
-order to take advantage of the distributed framework that Apache Apex
-provides.�The structure of a streaming application shares resemblance
-with the way CPU pipelining works. CPU pipelining breaks down the
-computation engine into different stages viz. instruction fetch,
-instruction decode, etc. so that each of them can perform their task on
-different instructions
-parallely. Similarly,
-Apache Apex APIs allow the user to break down their tasks into different
-stages so that all of the tasks can be executed on different tuples
-parallely.</p>
-<p><img alt="" src="../images/operator/image05.png" /></p>
-<h2 id="operators-how-in-a-nutshell">Operators - \u201cHow\u201d in a nutshell</h2>
-<p>An Apache Apex application runs as a YARN application. Hence, each of
-the operators that the application DAG contains, runs in one of the
-containers provisioned by YARN.�Further, Apache Apex exposes APIs to
-allow the user to request bundling multiple operators in a single node,
-a single container or even a single thread. We shall look at these calls
-in the reference sections [cite reference sections]. For now, consider
-an operator as some piece of code that runs on some machine of a YARN
-cluster.</p>
-<h2 id="types-of-operators">Types of Operators</h2>
-<p>An operator works on one tuple at a time. These tuples may be supplied
-by other operators in the application or by external sources,
-such as a database or a message bus. Similarly, after the tuples are
-processed, these may be passed on to other operators, or stored into an external system. 
-Therea are 3 type of operators based on function: </p>
-<ol>
-<li><strong>Input Adapter</strong> - This is one of the starting points in
-    the�application DAG and is responsible for getting tuples from an
-    external system. At the same time, such data may also be generated
-    by the operator itself, without interacting with the outside
-    world.�These input tuples will form the initial universe of
-    data�that the application works on.</li>
-<li><strong>Generic Operator</strong> - This type of operator accepts input tuples from
-    the previous operators and passes�them on to the following operators
-    in the DAG.</li>
-<li><strong>Output Adapter</strong> - This is one of the ending points in the application
-    DAG and is responsible for writing the data out to some external
-    system.</li>
-</ol>
-<p>Note: There can be multiple operators of all types in an application
-DAG.</p>
-<h2 id="operators-position-in-a-dag">Operators Position in a DAG</h2>
-<p>We may refer to operators depending on their position with respect to
-one another. For any operator opr (see image below), there are two types of operators.</p>
-<ol>
-<li><strong>Upstream operators</strong> - These are the operators from which there is a
-    directed path to opr�in the application DAG.</li>
-<li><strong>Downstream operators</strong> - These are the operators to which there is a
-    directed path from opr�in the application DAG.</li>
-</ol>
-<p>Note that there are no cycles formed in the application�DAG.</p>
-<p><img alt="" src="../images/operator/image00.png" /></p>
-<h2 id="ports">Ports</h2>
-<p>Operators in a DAG are connected together via directed flows
-called streams. Each�stream�has end-points located on the operators
-called ports. Therea are 2 types of ports.</p>
-<ol>
-<li><strong>Input Port</strong> - This is a�port through which an operator accepts input
-    tuples�from an upstream operator.</li>
-<li><strong>Output port</strong> - This is a�port through which an operator passes on the
-    processed data to downstream operators.</li>
-</ol>
-<p>Looking at the number of input ports, an Input Adapter is an operator
-with no input ports, a Generic operator has both input and output ports,
-while an Output Adapter has no output ports. At the same time, note that
-an operator may act as an Input Adapter while at the same time have an
-input port. In such cases, the operator is getting data from two
-different sources, viz.�the input stream from the input port and an
-external source.</p>
-<p><img alt="" src="../images/operator/image02.png" /></p>
-<hr />
-<h2 id="how-operator-works">How Operator Works</h2>
-<p>An operator passes through various stages during its lifetime. Each
-stage is an API call that the Streaming Application Master makes for an
-operator. �The following figure illustrates the stages through which an
-operator passes.</p>
-<p><img alt="" src="../images/operator/image01.png" /></p>
-<ul>
-<li>The <em>setup()</em> call initializes the operator and prepares itself to
-    start processing tuples.</li>
-<li>The <em>beginWindow()</em> call marks the beginning�of an�application window
-    and allows for any processing to be done before a window starts.</li>
-<li>The <em>process()</em> call belongs to the <em>InputPort</em> and gets triggered when
-    any tuple arrives at the Input port of the operator. This call is
-    specific only to Generic and Output adapters, since Input Adapters
-    do not have an input port. This is made for all the tuples at the
-    input port until the end window marker tuple is received on the
-    input port.</li>
-<li>The <em>emitTuples()</em> is the counterpart of <em>process()</em> call for Input
-    Adapters.
-    This call is used by Input adapters to emit any tuples that are
-    fetched from the external systems, or generated by the operator.
-    This method is called continuously until the pre-configured window
-    time is elapsed, at which the end window marker tuple is sent out on
-    the output port.</li>
-<li>The <em>endWindow()</em> call marks the end of the window and allows for any
-    processing to be done after the window ends.</li>
-<li>The <em>teardown()</em> call is used for gracefully shutting down the
-    operator and releasing any resources held by the operator.</li>
-</ul>
-<h1 id="developing-custom-operators">Developing Custom Operators <a name="writing_custom_operators"></a></h1>
-<h2 id="about-this-tutorial">About this tutorial</h2>
-<p>This tutorial will guide the user towards developing a operator from
-scratch. It includes all aspects of writing an operator including
-design, code and unit testing.</p>
-<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
-<p>In this tutorial, we will design and write, from scratch, an operator
-called Word Count. This operator will accept tuples of type String,
-count the number of occurrences for each word appearing in the tuple and
-send out the updated counts for all the words encountered in the tuple.
-Further, the operator will also accept a file path on HDFS which will
-contain the stop-words which need to be ignored when counting
-occurrences.</p>
-<h2 id="design">Design</h2>
-<p>Design of the operator must be finalized before starting to write an
-operator. Many aspects including the functionality, the data sources,
-the types involved etc. need to be first finalized before writing the
-operator. Let us dive into each of these while considering the Word
-Count�operator.</p>
-<h3 id="functionality">Functionality</h3>
-<p>We can define the scope of operator functionality using the following
-tasks:</p>
-<ol>
-<li>Parse the input tuple to identify the words in the tuple</li>
-<li>Identify the stop-words in the tuple by looking up the stop-word
-    file as configured</li>
-<li>For each non-stop-word in the tuple, count the occurrences in that
-    tuple and add it to a global counts</li>
-</ol>
-<p>Let\u2019s consider an example. Suppose we have the following tuples flow
-into the Word Count operator.</p>
-<ol>
-<li><em>Humpty dumpty sat on a wall</em></li>
-<li><em>Humpty dumpty had a great fall</em></li>
-</ol>
-<p>Initially counts for all words�is 0. Once the first tuple is processed,
-the counts that must be emitted are:</p>
-<pre><code class="java">humpty - 1
-dumpty - 1
-sat - 1
-wall - 1
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>Note that we are ignoring the stop-words, \u201con\u201d and \u201ca\u201d in this case.
-Also note that as a rule, we\u2019ll ignore the case of the words when
-counting occurrences.</p>
-<p>Similarly, after the second tuple is processed, the counts that must be
-emitted are:</p>
-<pre><code class="java">humpty - 2
-dumpty - 2
-great - 1
-fall - 1
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>Again, we ignore the words <em>\u201chad\u201d</em> and <em>\u201ca\u201d</em> since these are stop-words.</p>
-<p>Note that the most recent count for any word is correct count for that
-word. In other words, any new output for a word, invalidated all the
-previous counts for that word.</p>
-<h3 id="inputs">Inputs</h3>
-<p>As seen from the example�above, the following�inputs are expected for
-the operator:</p>
-<ol>
-<li>Input stream whose tuple type is String</li>
-<li>Input HDFS file path, pointing to a file containing stop-words</li>
-</ol>
-<p>Only one input port is needed. The stop-word file will be small enough
-to be read completely in a single read. In addition this will be a one
-time activity for the lifetime of the operator. This does not need a
-separate input port.</p>
-<p><img alt="" src="../images/operator/image03.png" /></p>
-<h3 id="outputs">Outputs</h3>
-<p>We can define the output for this operator in multiple ways.</p>
-<ol>
-<li>The operator may send out the set of counts for which the counts
-    have changed after processing each tuple.</li>
-<li>Some applications might not need an update after every tuple, but
-    only after�a certain time duration.</li>
-</ol>
-<p>Let us try and implement both these options depending on the
-configuration. Let us define a�boolean configuration parameter
-<em>\u201csendPerTuple\u201d</em>. The value of this parameter will indicate whether the
-updated counts for words need to be emitted after processing each
-tuple�(true)�or after a certain time duration (false).</p>
-<p>The type of information the operator will be sending out on the output
-port is the same for all the cases. This will be a <em>&lt; key, value &gt;</em>�pair,
-where the key�is the word while, the value is the latest count for that
-word. This means we just need one output port on which this information
-will go out.</p>
-<p><img alt="" src="../images/operator/image04.png" /></p>
-<h2 id="configuration">Configuration</h2>
-<p>We have the following configuration parameters:</p>
-<ol>
-<li><em>stopWordFilePath</em>�- This parameter will store the path to the stop
-    word file on HDFS as configured by the user.</li>
-<li><em>sendPerTuple</em>�- This parameter decides whether we send out the
-    updated counts after processing each tuple or at the end of a
-    window. When set to true, the operator will send out the updated
-    counts after each tuple, else it will send at the end of
-    each�window.</li>

-<h1 id="operator-reference">Operator Reference <a name="operator_reference"></a></h1>
-<h3 id="the-operator-class">The Operator Class</h3>
-<p>The operator will exist physically as a class which implements the
-Operator�interface. This interface will require implementations for the
-following method calls:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>setup(OperatorContext context)</li>
-<li>beginWindow(long windowId)</li>
-<li>endWindow()</li>
-<li>tearDown()</li>
-</ul>
-<p>In order to simplify the creation of an operator, Apache�Apex
-library also provides a base class \u201cBaseOperator\u201d which has empty
-implementations for these methods. Please refer to the <a href="#apex_operators">Apex Operators</a>�section and the
-<a href="#operator_reference">Reference</a>�section for details on these.</p>
-<p>We extend the class \u201cBaseOperator\u201d to create our own operator
-\u201cWordCountOperator\u201d.</p>
-<pre><code class="java">public class WordCountOperator extends BaseOperator
-{
-}
-</code></pre>
-
-<h3 id="class-operator-properties">Class (Operator) properties</h3>
-<p>We define the following class variables:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><em>sendPerTuple</em>�- Configures the output frequency from the operator</li>
-</ul>
-<pre><code class="java">private boolean sendPerTuple = true; // default
-</code></pre>
-
-<ul>
-<li><em>stopWordFilePath</em>�- Stores the path to the stop words file on HDFS</li>
-</ul>
-<pre><code class="java">private String stopWordFilePath;�// no default
-</code></pre>
-
-<ul>
-<li><em>stopWords</em>�- Stores the stop words read from the configured file</li>
-</ul>
-<pre><code class="java">private transient String[] stopWords;
-</code></pre>
-
-<ul>
-<li><em>globalCounts</em>�- A Map which stores the counts of all the words
-    encountered so far. Note that this variable is non transient, which
-    means that this variable is saved as part of the checkpoint and can be recovered in event of a crash.</li>
-</ul>
-<pre><code class="java">private Map&lt;String, Long&gt; globalCounts;
-</code></pre>
-
-<ul>
-<li><em>updatedCounts</em>�- A Map which stores the counts for only the most
-    recent tuple(s). sendPerTuple configuration determines whether to store the most recent or the recent
-    window worth of tuples.</li>
-</ul>
-<pre><code class="java">private transient Map&lt;String, Long&gt; updatedCounts;
-</code></pre>
-
-<ul>
-<li><em>input</em> - The input port for the operator. The type of this input port
-    is String�which means it will only accept tuples of type String. The
-    definition of an input port requires implementation of a method
-    called process(String tuple), which should�have the processing logic
-    for the input tuple which �arrives at this input port. We delegate
-    this task to another method called processTuple(String tuple). This
-    helps in keeping the operator classes extensible by overriding the
-    processing logic for the input tuples.</li>
-</ul>
-<pre><code class="java">public transient DefaultInputPort&lt;String&gt; input = new � �
-DefaultInputPort&lt;String&gt;()
-{
-����@Override
-����public void process(String tuple)
-����{
-    ����processTuple(tuple);
-����}
-};
-</code></pre>
-
-<ul>
-<li>output - The output port for the operator. The type of this port is
-    Entry &lt; String, Long &gt;, which means the operator will emit &lt; word,
-    count &gt; pairs for the updated counts.</li>
-</ul>
-<pre><code class="java">public transient DefaultOutputPort &lt;Entry&lt;String, Long&gt;&gt; output = new
-DefaultOutputPort&lt;Entry&lt;String,Long&gt;&gt;();
-</code></pre>
-
-<h3 id="the-constructor">The Constructor</h3>
-<p>The constructor is the place where we initialize the non-transient data
-structures,�since
-constructor is called just once per activation of an operator. With regards to Word Count�operator, we initialize the globalCounts variable in the constructor.</p>
-<pre><code class="java">globalCounts = Maps.newHashMap();
-</code></pre>
-
-<h3 id="setup-call">Setup call</h3>
-<p>The setup method is called only once during an operator lifetime and its purpose is to allow 
-the operator to set itself up for processing incoming streams. Transient objects in the operator are
-not serialized and checkpointed. Hence, it is essential that such objects initialized in the setup call. 
-In case of operator failure, the operator will be redeployed (most likely on a different container). The setup method called by the Apache Apex engine allows the operator to prepare for execution in the new container.</p>
-<p>The following tasks are executed as part of the setup call:</p>
-<ol>
-<li>Read the stop-word list from HDFS and store it in the
-    stopWords�array</li>
-<li>Initialize updatedCounts�variable. This will store the updated
-    counts for words in most recent tuples processed by the operator.
-    As a transient variable, the value will be lost when operator fails.</li>
-</ol>
-<h3 id="begin-window-call">Begin Window call</h3>
-<p>The begin window call signals the start of an application window. With 
-regards to Word Count Operator, we are expecting updated counts for the most recent window of
-data if the sendPerTuple�is set to false. Hence, we clear the updatedCounts�variable in the begin window
-call and start accumulating the counts till the end window call.</p>
-<h3 id="process-tuple-call">Process Tuple call</h3>
-<p>The processTuple�method is called by the process�method of the input
-port, input. This method defines the processing logic for the current
-tuple that is received at the input port. As part of this method, we
-identify the words in the current tuple and update the globalCounts�and
-the updatedCounts�variables. In addition, if the sendPerTuple�variable
-is set to true, we also emit the words�and corresponding counts in
-updatedCounts�to the output port. Note�that in this case (sendPerTuple =
-true), we clear the updatedCounts�variable in every call to
-processTuple.</p>
-<h3 id="end-window-call">End Window call</h3>
-<p>This call signals the end of an application window. With regards to Word
-Count Operator, we emit the updatedCounts�to the output port if the
-sendPerTuple�flag is set to false.</p>
-<h3 id="teardown-call">Teardown call</h3>
-<p>This method allows the operator to gracefully shut down itself after
-releasing the resources that it has acquired. With regards to our operator,
-we call the shutDown�method which shuts down the operator along with any
-downstream operators.</p>
-<h2 id="testing-your-operator">Testing your Operator</h2>
-<p>As part of testing our operator, we test the following two facets:</p>
-<ol>
-<li>Test output of the operator after processing a single tuple</li>
-<li>Test output of the operator after processing of a window of tuples</li>
-</ol>
-<p>The unit tests for the WordCount operator are available in the class
-WordCountOperatorTest.java. We simulate the behavior of the engine by
-using the test utilities provided by Apache Apex libraries. We simulate
-the setup, beginWindow, process�method of the input port and
-endWindow�calls and compare the output received at the simulated output
-ports.</p>
-<ol>
-<li>Invoke constructor; non-transients initialized.</li>
-<li>Copy state from checkpoint -- initialized values from step 1 are
-replaced.</li>
-</ol>

-                <h1 id="security">Security</h1>
-<p>Applications built on Apex run as native YARN applications on Hadoop. The security framework and apparatus in Hadoop apply to the applications. The default security mechanism in Hadoop is Kerberos.</p>
-<h2 id="kerberos-authentication">Kerberos Authentication</h2>
-<p>Kerberos is a ticket based authentication system that provides authentication in a distributed environment where authentication is needed between multiple users, hosts and services. It is the de-facto authentication mechanism supported in Hadoop. To use Kerberos authentication, the Hadoop installation must first be configured for secure mode with Kerberos. Please refer to the administration guide of your Hadoop distribution on how to do that. Once Hadoop is configured, there is some configuration needed on Apex side as well.</p>
-<h2 id="configuring-security">Configuring security</h2>
-<p>There is Hadoop configuration and CLI configuration. Hadoop configuration may be optional.</p>
-<h3 id="hadoop-configuration">Hadoop Configuration</h3>
-<p>An Apex application uses delegation tokens to authenticate with the ResourceManager (YARN) and NameNode (HDFS) and these tokens are issued by those servers respectively. Since the application is long-running,
-the tokens should be valid for the lifetime of the application. Hadoop has a configuration setting for the maximum lifetime of the tokens and they should be set to cover the lifetime of the application. There are separate settings for ResourceManager and NameNode delegation
-tokens.</p>
-<p>The ResourceManager delegation token max lifetime is specified in <code>yarn-site.xml</code> and can be specified as follows for example for a lifetime of 1 year</p>
-<pre><code class="xml">&lt;property&gt;
-  &lt;name&gt;yarn.resourcemanager.delegation.token.max-lifetime&lt;/name&gt;
-  &lt;value&gt;31536000000&lt;/value&gt;
-&lt;/property&gt;
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>The NameNode delegation token max lifetime is specified in
-hdfs-site.xml and can be specified as follows for example for a lifetime of 1 year</p>
-<pre><code class="xml">&lt;property&gt;
-   &lt;name&gt;dfs.namenode.delegation.token.max-lifetime&lt;/name&gt;
-   &lt;value&gt;31536000000&lt;/value&gt;
- &lt;/property&gt;
-</code></pre>
-
-<h3 id="cli-configuration">CLI Configuration</h3>
-<p>The Apex command line interface is used to launch
-applications along with performing various other operations and administrative tasks on the applications. �When Kerberos security is enabled in Hadoop, a Kerberos ticket granting ticket (TGT) or the Kerberos credentials of the user are needed by the CLI program <code>dtcli</code> to authenticate with Hadoop for any operation. Kerberos credentials are composed of a principal and either a <em>keytab</em> or a password. For security and operational reasons only keytabs are supported in Hadoop and by extension in Apex platform. When user credentials are specified, all operations including launching
-application are performed as that user.</p>
-<h4 id="using-kinit">Using kinit</h4>
-<p>A Kerberos ticket granting ticket (TGT) can be obtained by using the Kerberos command <code>kinit</code>. Detailed documentation for the command can be found online or in man pages. An sample usage of this command is</p>
-<pre><code>kinit -k -t path-tokeytab-file kerberos-principal
-</code></pre>
-<p>If this command is successful, the TGT is obtained, cached and available for other programs. The CLI program <code>dtcli</code> can then be started to launch applications and perform other operations.</p>
-<h4 id="using-kerberos-credentials">Using Kerberos credentials</h4>
-<p>The CLI program <code>dtcli</code> can also use the Kerberos credentials directly without requiring a TGT to be obtained separately. This can be useful in batch mode where <code>dtcli</code> is not launched manually and also in scenarios where running another program like <code>kinit</code> is not feasible.</p>
-<p>The credentials can be specified in the <code>dt-site.xml</code> configuration file. If only a single user is launching applications, the global <code>dt-site.xml</code> configuration file in the installation folder can be used. In a multi-user environment the users can use the <code>dt-site.xml</code> file in their
-home directory. The location of this file will be <code>$HOME/.dt/dt-site.xml</code>. If this file does not exist, the user can create a new one.</p>
-<p>The snippet below shows the how the credentials can be specified in the configuration file as properties.</p>
-<pre><code class="xml">&lt;property&gt;
-        &lt;name&gt;dt.authentication.principal&lt;/name&gt;
-        &lt;value&gt;kerberos-principal-of-user&lt;/value&gt;
-&lt;/property&gt;
-&lt;property&gt;
-        &lt;name&gt;dt.authentication.keytab&lt;/name&gt;
-        &lt;value&gt;absolute-path-to-keytab-file&lt;/value&gt;
-&lt;/property&gt;
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>The property <code>dt.authentication.principal</code> specifies the Kerberos user principal and <code>dt.authentication.keytab</code> specifies the absolute path to the keytab file for the user.</p>
-<p>The subsequent sections talk about how security works in Apex. This information is not needed by users but is intended for the inquisitive techical audience who want to know how security works.</p>
-<h2 id="security-architecture">Security architecture</h2>
-<p>In this section we will see how security works for applications built on Apex. We will look at the different methodologies involved in running the applications and in each case we will look into the different components that are involved. We will go into the architecture of these components and look at the different security mechanisms that are in play.</p>
-<h3 id="application-launch">Application Launch</h3>
-<p>To launch applications in Apache Apex the command line client dtcli can be used. The application artifacts such as binaries and properties are supplied as an application package. The client, during the various steps involved to launch the application needs to communicate with both the Resource Manager and the Name Node. The Resource Manager communication involves the client asking for new resources to run the application master and start the application launch process. The steps along with sample Java code are described in Writing YARN Applications. The Name Node communication includes the application artifacts being copied to HDFS so that they are available across the cluster for launching the different application containers.</p>
-<p>In secure mode, the communications with both Resource Manager and Name Node requires authentication and the mechanism is Kerberos. Below is an illustration showing this.</p>
-<p><img alt="" src="../images/security/image02.png" />        </p>
-<p>The client dtcli supports Kerberos authentication and will automatically enable it in a secure environment. To authenticate, some Kerberos configuration namely the Kerberos credentials, are needed by the client. There are two parameters, the Kerberos principal and keytab to use for the client. These can be specified in the dt-site.xml configuration file. The properties are shown below</p>
-<pre><code>    &lt;property&gt;
-            &lt;name&gt;dt.authentication.principal&lt;/name&gt;
-            &lt;value&gt;kerberos-principal-of-user&lt;/value&gt;
-    &lt;/property&gt;
-    &lt;property&gt;
-            &lt;name&gt;dt.authentication.keytab&lt;/name&gt;
-            &lt;value&gt;absolute-path-to-keytab-file&lt;/value&gt;
-    &lt;/property&gt;
-</code></pre>
-<p>Refer to document Operation and Installation Guide section Multi Tenancy and Security subsection CLI Configuration in the documentation for more information. The document can also be accessed here client configuration</p>
-<p>There is another important functionality that is performed by the client and that is to retrieve what are called delegation tokens from the Resource Manager and Name Node to seed the application master container that is to be launched. This is detailed in the next section. </p>
-<h3 id="runtime-security">Runtime Security</h3>
-<p>When the application is completely up and running, there are different components of the application running as separate processes possibly on different nodes in the cluster as it is a distributed application. These components interactwould be interacting with each other and the Hadoop services. In secure mode, all these interactions have to be authenticated before they can be successfully processed. The interactions are illustrated below in a diagram to give a complete overview. Each of them is explained in subsequent sections.</p>
-<p><img alt="" src="../images/security/image00.png" /></p>
-<h4 id="stram-and-hadoop">STRAM and Hadoop</h4>
-<p>Every Apache Apex application has a master process akin to any YARN application. In our case it is called STRAM (Streaming Application Master). It is a master process that runs in its own container and manages the different distributed components of the application. Among other tasks it requests Resource Manager for new resources as they are needed and gives back resources that are no longer needed. STRAM also needs to communicate with Name Node from time-to-time to access the persistent HDFS file system. </p>
-<p>In secure mode, STRAM has to authenticate with both Resource Manager and Name Node before it can send any requests and this is achieved using Delegation Tokens. Since STRAM runs as a managed application master, it runs in a Hadoop container. This container could have been allocated on any node based on what resources were available. Since there is no fixed node where STRAM runs, it does not have Kerberos credentials. Unlike launch client dtcli, it cannot authenticate with Hadoop services Resource Manager and Name Node using Kerberos. Instead, Delegation Tokens are used for authentication.</p>
-<h5 id="delegation-tokens">Delegation Tokens</h5>
-<p>Delegation tokens are tokens that are dynamically issued by the source and clients use them to authenticate with the source. The source stores the delegation tokens it has issued in a cache and checks the delegation token sent by a client against the cache. If a match is found, the authentication is successful else it fails. This is the second mode of authentication in secure Hadoop after Kerberos. More details can be found in the Hadoop security design document. In this case the delegation tokens are issued by Resource Manager and Name Node. STRAM would use these tokens to authenticate with them. But how does it get them in the first place? This is where the launch client dtcli comes in.</p>
-<p>The client dtcli, since it possesses Kerberos credentials as explained in the Application Launch section, is able to authenticate with Resource Manager and Name Node using Kerberos. It then requests for delegation tokens over the Kerberos authenticated connection. The servers return the delegation tokens in the response payload. The client in requesting the resource manager for the start of the application master container for STRAM seeds it with these tokens so that when STRAM starts it has these tokens. It can then use these tokens to authenticate with the Hadoop services.</p>
-<h4 id="streaming-container">Streaming Container</h4>
-<p>A streaming container is a process that runs a part of the application business logic. It is a container deployed on a node in the cluster. The part of business logic is implemented in what we call an operator. Multiple operators connected together make up the complete application and hence there are multiple streaming containers in an application. The streaming containers have different types of communications going on as illustrated in the diagram above. They are described below.</p>
-<h5 id="stram-delegation-token">STRAM Delegation Token</h5>
-<p>The streaming containers periodically communicate with the application master STRAM. In the communication they send what are called heartbeats with information such as statistics and receive commands from STRAM such as deployment or un-deployment of operators, changing properties of operators etc. In secure mode, this communication cannot just occur without any authentication. To facilitate this authentication special tokens called STRAM Delegation Tokens are used. These tokens are created and managed by STRAM. When a new streaming container is being started, since STRAM is the one negotiating resources from Resource Manager for the container and requesting to start the container, it seeds the container with the STRAM delegation token necessary to communicate with it. Thus, a streaming container has the STRAM delegation token to successfully authenticate and communicate with STRAM.</p>
-<h5 id="buffer-server-token">Buffer Server Token</h5>
-<p>As mentioned earlier an operator implements a piece of the business logic of the application and multiple operators together complete the application. In creating the application the operators are assembled together in a direct acyclic graph, a pipeline, with output of operators becoming the input for other operators. At runtime the stream containers hosting the operators are connected to each other and sending data to each other. In secure mode these connections should be authenticated too, more importantly than others, as they are involved in transferring application data.</p>
-<p>When operators are running there will be effective processing rate differences between them due to intrinsic reasons such as operator logic or external reasons such as different resource availability of CPU, memory, network bandwidth etc. as the operators are running in different containers. To maximize performance and utilization the data flow is handled asynchronous to the regular operator function and a buffer is used to intermediately store the data that is being produced by the operator. This buffered data is served by a buffer server over the network connection to the downstream streaming container containing the operator that is supposed to receive the data from this operator. This connection is secured by a token called the buffer server token. These tokens are also generated and seeded by STRAM when the streaming containers are deployed and started and it uses different tokens for different buffer servers to have better security.</p>
-<h5 id="namenode-delegation-token">NameNode Delegation Token</h5>
-<p>Like STRAM, streaming containers also need to communicate with NameNode to use HDFS persistence for reasons such as saving the state of the operators. In secure mode they also use NameNode delegation tokens for authentication. These tokens are also seeded by STRAM for the streaming containers.</p>
-<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
-<p>We looked at the different security requirements for distributed applications when they run in a secure Hadoop environment and looked at how Apex solves this.</p>
