[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-5441) HOD refactoring to ease integration with scheduler/resource managers other than torque

Nate Woody updated HADOOP-5441:
-------------------------------

        Fix Version/s: 0.19.1
    Affects Version/s: 0.19.1
         Release Note: Allow dynamic loading of nodePool objects and moves remote start (pbsdsh) functionality out of Scheduler objects
               Status: Patch Available  (was: Open)

This patch removes the pbsdsh command from Schedulers/torque and moves it into a new module.  NodePool parent object was given a new method to allow selection of the appropriate remote start object at runtime from a configuration method.  Common/desc was modified to provide access to the remote-start config-file option and sets pbsdsh as the default.  Common/nodepoolutil was modified to allow dynamic loading of nodePool objects based on the naming scheme used for the TorquePool class.

> Situation: HOD currently uses the pbsdsh (a distributed shell that works via Torque's TM interface to start remote processes) command to start processes on all nodes in the job.  This call is provided as part of a torqueInterface class that is meant to abstract interactions with the torque resource managers (RMs).  However, this is not functionality typically provided by other RMs, and is instead typically performed by an distributed command available on the HPC system, mpiexec, ssh, or site-specific scripts.  The specificity of pbsdsh to Torque makes writing HOD interfaces to other RMs somewhat difficult as it forces the implementer to choose the remote start method on a somewhat faulty per-RM basis.
> Proposal: Refactor the torqueInterface and nodePool classes so that the choice of remote start method is available as a configuration option in hodrc.  This involves fairly simple changes to remove the pbsdsh command from the Scheduler class and addition configuration step of starting the appropriate remote start wrapper.  The selection of the nodePool class will be altered to allow dynamic loading of classes, so that new interfaces people choose to write will not require altering HOD code.  Provide remote start classes for pbsdsh, mpiexec, ssh, as well as custom scripts (sites often provide mpiexec wrappers that ensure proper selection of network interfaces, etc).  Provide interface classes to SGE and Moab, as well as updated Torque class.
