-Distributed lock manager
-------------------------
-Distributed locks are used to synchronize accesses shared resources. Most applications use Zookeeper to model the distributed locks. 
-
-The simplest way to model a lock using zookeeper is (See Zookeeper leader recipe for an exact and more advanced solution)
-
-* Each process tries to create an emphemeral node.
-* If can successfully create it then, it acquires the lock
-* Else it will watch on the znode and try to acquire the lock again if the current lock holder disappears 
-
-This is good enough if there is only one lock. But in practice, an application will need many such locks. Distributing and managing the locks among difference process becomes challenging. Extending such a solution to many locks will result in
-
-* Uneven distribution of locks among nodes, the node that starts first will acquire all the lock. Nodes that start later will be idle.
-* When a node fails, how the locks will be distributed among remaining nodes is not predicable. 
-* When new nodes are added the current nodes dont relinquish the locks so that new nodes can acquire some locks
-
-In other words we want a system to satisfy the following requirements.
-
-* Distribute locks evenly among all nodes to get better hardware utilization
-* If a node fails, the locks that were acquired by that node should be evenly distributed among other nodes
-* If nodes are added, locks must be evenly re-distributed among nodes.
-
-Helix provides a simple and elegant solution to this problem. Simply specify the number of locks and Helix will ensure that above constraints are satisfied. 
-
-To quickly see this working run the lock-manager-demo script where 12 locks are evenly distributed among three nodes, and when a node fails, the locks get re-distributed among remaining two nodes. Note that Helix does not re-shuffle the locks completely, instead it simply distributes the locks relinquished by dead node among 2 remaining nodes evenly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-#### Long version
-This provides more details on how to setup the cluster and where to plugin application code.
-
-##### start zookeeper
-
-```
-./start-standalone-zookeeper 2199
-```
-
-##### Create a cluster
-
-```
-./helix-admin --zkSvr localhost:2199 --addCluster lock-manager-demo
-```
-
-##### Create a lock group
-
-Create a lock group and specify the number of locks in the lock group. 
-
-```
-./helix-admin --zkSvr localhost:2199  --addResource lock-manager-demo lock-group 6 OnlineOffline FULL_AUTO
-```
-
-##### Start the nodes
-
-Create a Lock class that handles the callbacks. 
-
-```
-
-public class Lock extends StateModel
-{
-  private String lockName;
-
-  public Lock(String lockName)
-  {
-    this.lockName = lockName;
-  }
-
-  public void lock(Message m, NotificationContext context)
-  {
-    System.out.println(" acquired lock:"+ lockName );
-  }
-
-  public void release(Message m, NotificationContext context)
-  {
-    System.out.println(" releasing lock:"+ lockName );
-  }
-
-}
-
-```
-
-LockFactory that creates the lock
- 
-```
-public class LockFactory extends StateModelFactory<Lock>{
-    
-    /* Instantiates the lock handler, one per lockName*/
-    public Lock create(String lockName)
-    {
-        return new Lock(lockName);
-    }   
-}
-```
-
-At node start up, simply join the cluster and helix will invoke the appropriate callbacks on Lock instance. One can start any number of nodes and Helix detects that a new node has joined the cluster and re-distributes the locks automatically.
-
-```
-public class LockProcess{
-
-  public static void main(String args){
-    String zkAddress= "localhost:2199";
-    String clusterName = "lock-manager-demo";
-    //Give a unique id to each process, most commonly used format hostname_port
-    String instanceName ="localhost_12000";
-    ZKHelixAdmin helixAdmin = new ZKHelixAdmin(zkAddress);
-    //configure the instance and provide some metadata 
-    InstanceConfig config = new InstanceConfig(instanceName);
-    config.setHostName("localhost");
-    config.setPort("12000");
-    admin.addInstance(clusterName, config);
-    //join the cluster
-    HelixManager manager;
-    manager = HelixManagerFactory.getHelixManager(clusterName,
-                                                  instanceName,
-                                                  InstanceType.PARTICIPANT,
-                                                  zkAddress);
-    manager.getStateMachineEngine().registerStateModelFactory("OnlineOffline", modelFactory);
-    manager.connect();
-    Thread.currentThread.join();
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-##### Start the controller
-
-Controller can be started either as a separate process or can be embedded within each node process
-
-###### Separate process
-This is recommended when number of nodes in the cluster >100. For fault tolerance, you can run multiple controllers on different boxes.
-
-```
-./run-helix-controller --zkSvr localhost:2199 --cluster lock-manager-demo 2>&1 > /tmp/controller.log &
-```
-
-###### Embedded within the node process
-This is recommended when the number of nodes in the cluster is less than 100. To start a controller from each process, simply add the following lines to MyClass
-
-```
-public class LockProcess{
-
-  public static void main(String args){
-    String zkAddress= "localhost:2199";
-    String clusterName = "lock-manager-demo";
-    .
-    .
-    manager.connect();
-    HelixManager controller;
-    controller = HelixControllerMain.startHelixController(zkAddress, 
-                                                          clusterName,
-                                                          "controller", 
-                                                          HelixControllerMain.STANDALONE);
-    Thread.currentThread.join();
-  }
-}
-```

-RabbitMQ Consumer Group
-=======================
-
-[RabbitMQ](http://www.rabbitmq.com/) is a well known Open source software the provides robust messaging for applications.
-
-One of the commonly implemented recipes using this software is a work queue.  http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-four-java.html describes the use case where
-
-* A producer sends a message with a routing key. 
-* The message is routed to the queue whose binding key exactly matches the routing key of the message.	
-* There are multiple consumers and each consumer is interested in processing only a subset of the messages by binding to the interested keys
-
-The example provided [here](http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-four-java.html) describes how multiple consumers can be started to process all the messages.
-
-While this works, in production systems one needs the following 
-
-* Ability to handle failures: when a consumers fails another consumer must be started or the other consumers must start processing these messages that should have been processed by the failed consumer.
-* When the existing consumers cannot keep up with the task generation rate, new consumers will be added. The tasks must be redistributed among all the consumers. 
-
-In this recipe, we demonstrate handling of consumer failures and new consumer additions using Helix.
-
-Mapping this usecase to Helix is pretty easy as the binding key/routing key is equivalent to a partition. 
-
-Let's take an example. Lets say the queue has 6 partitions, and we have 2 consumers to process all the queues. 
-What we want is all 6 queues to be evenly divided among 2 consumers. 
-Eventually when the system scales, we add more consumers to keep up. This will make each consumer process tasks from 2 queues.
-Now let's say that a consumer failed which reduces the number of active consumers to 2. This means each consumer must process 3 queues.
-
-We showcase how such a dynamic App can be developed using Helix. Even though we use rabbitmq as the pub/sub system one can extend this solution to other pub/sub systems.
-
-Try it
-======
-
-```
-git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-helix.git
-cd incubator-helix
-mvn clean install package -DskipTests
-cd recipes/rabbitmq-consumer-group/bin
-chmod +x *
-export HELIX_PKG_ROOT=`pwd`/helix-core/target/helix-core-pkg
-export HELIX_RABBITMQ_ROOT=`pwd`/recipes/rabbitmq-consumer-group/
-chmod +x $HELIX_PKG_ROOT/bin/*
-chmod +x $HELIX_RABBITMQ_ROOT/bin/*
-```
-
-
-Install Rabbit MQ
-----------------
-
-Setting up RabbitMQ on a local box is straightforward. You can find the instructions here
-http://www.rabbitmq.com/download.html
-
-Start ZK
---------
-Start zookeeper at port 2199
-
-```
-$HELIX_PKG_ROOT/bin/start-standalone-zookeeper 2199
-```
-
-Setup the consumer group cluster
---------------------------------
-This will setup the cluster by creating a "rabbitmq-consumer-group" cluster and adds a "topic" with "6" queues. 
-
-```
-$HELIX_RABBITMQ_ROOT/bin/setup-cluster.sh localhost:2199 
-```
-
-Add consumers
--------------
-Start 2 consumers in 2 different terminals. Each consumer is given a unique id.
-
-```
-//start-consumer.sh zookeeperAddress (e.g. localhost:2181) consumerId , rabbitmqServer (e.g. localhost)
-$HELIX_RABBITMQ_ROOT/bin/start-consumer.sh localhost:2199 0 localhost 
-$HELIX_RABBITMQ_ROOT/bin/start-consumer.sh localhost:2199 1 localhost 
-
-```
-
-Start HelixController
---------------------
-Now start a Helix controller that starts managing the "rabbitmq-consumer-group" cluster.
-
-```
-$HELIX_RABBITMQ_ROOT/bin/start-cluster-manager.sh localhost:2199
-```
-
-Send messages to the Topic
---------------------------
-
-Start sending messages to the topic. This script randomly selects a routing key (1-6) and sends the message to topic. 
-Based on the key, messages gets routed to the appropriate queue.
-
-```
-$HELIX_RABBITMQ_ROOT/bin/send-message.sh localhost 20
-```
-
-After running this, you should see all 20 messages being processed by 2 consumers. 
-
-Add another consumer
---------------------
-Once a new consumer is started, helix detects it. In order to balance the load between 3 consumers, it deallocates 1 partition from the existing consumers and allocates it to the new consumer. We see that
-each consumer is now processing only 2 queues.
-Helix makes sure that old nodes are asked to stop consuming before the new consumer is asked to start consuming for a given partition. But the transitions for each partition can happen in parallel.
-
-```
-$HELIX_RABBITMQ_ROOT/bin/start-consumer.sh localhost:2199 2 localhost
-```
-
-Send messages again to the topic.
-
-```
-$HELIX_RABBITMQ_ROOT/bin/send-message.sh localhost 100
-```
-
-You should see that messages are now received by all 3 consumers.
-
-Stop a consumer
----------------
-In any terminal press CTRL^C and notice that Helix detects the consumer failure and distributes the 2 partitions that were processed by failed consumer to the remaining 2 active consumers.
-
-
-How does it work
-================
-
-Find the entire code [here](https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-helix.git;a=tree;f=recipes/rabbitmq-consumer-group/src/main/java/org/apache/helix/recipes/rabbitmq). 
- 
-Cluster setup
--------------
-This step creates znode on zookeeper for the cluster and adds the state model. We use online offline state model since there is no need for other states. The consumer is either processing a queue or it is not.
-
-It creates a resource called "rabbitmq-consumer-group" with 6 partitions. The execution mode is set to FULL_AUTO. This means that the Helix controls the assignment of partition to consumers and automatically distributes the partitions evenly among the active consumers. When a consumer is added or removed, it ensures that a minimum number of partitions are shuffled.
-
-```
-      zkclient = new ZkClient(zkAddr, ZkClient.DEFAULT_SESSION_TIMEOUT,
-          ZkClient.DEFAULT_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT, new ZNRecordSerializer());
-      ZKHelixAdmin admin = new ZKHelixAdmin(zkclient);
-      
-      // add cluster
-      admin.addCluster(clusterName, true);
-
-      // add state model definition
-      StateModelConfigGenerator generator = new StateModelConfigGenerator();
-      admin.addStateModelDef(clusterName, "OnlineOffline",
-          new StateModelDefinition(generator.generateConfigForOnlineOffline()));
-
-      // add resource "topic" which has 6 partitions
-      String resourceName = "rabbitmq-consumer-group";
-      admin.addResource(clusterName, resourceName, 6, "OnlineOffline", "FULL_AUTO");
-```
-
-Starting the consumers
-----------------------
-The only thing consumers need to know is the zkaddress, cluster name and consumer id. It does not need to know anything else.
-
-```
-   _manager =
-          HelixManagerFactory.getZKHelixManager(_clusterName,
-                                                _consumerId,
-                                                InstanceType.PARTICIPANT,
-                                                _zkAddr);
-
-      StateMachineEngine stateMach = _manager.getStateMachineEngine();
-      ConsumerStateModelFactory modelFactory =
-          new ConsumerStateModelFactory(_consumerId, _mqServer);
-      stateMach.registerStateModelFactory("OnlineOffline", modelFactory);
-
-      _manager.connect();
-
-```
-
-Once the consumer has registered the statemodel and the controller is started, the consumer starts getting callbacks (onBecomeOnlineFromOffline) for the partition it needs to host. All it needs to do as part of the callback is to start consuming messages from the appropriate queue. Similarly, when the controller deallocates a partitions from a consumer, it fires onBecomeOfflineFromOnline for the same partition. 
-As a part of this transition, the consumer will stop consuming from a that queue.
-
-```
- @Transition(to = "ONLINE", from = "OFFLINE")
-  public void onBecomeOnlineFromOffline(Message message, NotificationContext context)
-  {
-    LOG.debug(_consumerId + " becomes ONLINE from OFFLINE for " + _partition);
-
-    if (_thread == null)
-    {
-      LOG.debug("Starting ConsumerThread for " + _partition + "...");
-      _thread = new ConsumerThread(_partition, _mqServer, _consumerId);
-      _thread.start();
-      LOG.debug("Starting ConsumerThread for " + _partition + " done");
-
-    }
-  }
-
-  @Transition(to = "OFFLINE", from = "ONLINE")
-  public void onBecomeOfflineFromOnline(Message message, NotificationContext context)
-      throws InterruptedException
-  {
-    LOG.debug(_consumerId + " becomes OFFLINE from ONLINE for " + _partition);
-
-    if (_thread != null)
-    {
-      LOG.debug("Stopping " + _consumerId + " for " + _partition + "...");
-
-      _thread.interrupt();
-      _thread.join(2000);
-      _thread = null;
-      LOG.debug("Stopping " +  _consumerId + " for " + _partition + " done");
-
-    }
-  }
-```

-Near real time rsync replicated file system
-===========================================
-
-Quickdemo
----------
-
-* This demo starts 3 instances with id's as ```localhost_12001, localhost_12002, localhost_12003```
-* Each instance stores its files under ```/tmp/<id>/filestore```
-* ``` localhost_12001 ``` is designated as the master and ``` localhost_12002 and localhost_12003``` are the slaves.
-* Files written to master are replicated to the slaves automatically. In this demo, a.txt and b.txt are written to ```/tmp/localhost_12001/filestore``` and it gets replicated to other folders.
-* When the master is stopped, ```localhost_12002``` is promoted to master. 
-* The other slave ```localhost_12003``` stops replicating from ```localhost_12001``` and starts replicating from new master ```localhost_12002```
-* Files written to new master ```localhost_12002``` are replicated to ```localhost_12003```
-* In the end state of this quick demo, ```localhost_12002``` is the master and ```localhost_12003``` is the slave. Manually create files under ```/tmp/localhost_12002/filestore``` and see that appears in ```/tmp/localhost_12003/filestore```
-* Ignore the interrupted exceptions on the console :-).

-Overview
---------
-
-There are many applications that require storage for storing large number of relatively small data files. Examples include media stores to store small videos, images, mail attachments etc. Each of these objects is typically kilobytes, often no larger than a few megabytes. An additional distinguishing feature of these usecases is also that files are typically only added or deleted, rarely updated. When there are updates, they are rare and do not have any concurrency requirements.
-
-These are much simpler requirements than what general purpose distributed file system have to satisfy including concurrent access to files, random access for reads and updates, posix compliance etc. To satisfy those requirements, general DFSs are also pretty complex that are expensive to build and maintain.
- 
-A different implementation of a distributed file system includes HDFS which is inspired by Google's GFS. This is one of the most widely used distributed file system that forms the main data storage platform for Hadoop. HDFS is primary aimed at processing very large data sets and distributes files across a cluster of commodity servers by splitting up files in fixed size chunks. HDFS is not particularly well suited for storing a very large number of relatively tiny files.
-
-### File Store
-
-It's possible to build a vastly simpler system for the class of applications that have simpler requirements as we have pointed out.
-
-* Large number of files but each file is relatively small.
-* Access is limited to create, delete and get entire files.
-* No updates to files that are already created (or it's feasible to delete the old file and create a new one).
- 
-
-We call this system a Partitioned File Store (PFS) to distinguish it from other distributed file systems. This system needs to provide the following features:
-
-* CRD access to large number of small files
-* Scalability: Files should be distributed across a large number of commodity servers based on the storage requirement.
-* Fault-tolerance: Each file should be replicated on multiple servers so that individual server failures do not reduce availability.
-* Elasticity: It should be possible to add capacity to the cluster easily.
-

-Apache Helix is a generic cluster management framework that makes it very easy to provide the scalability, fault-tolerance and elasticity features. 
-Rsync can be easily used as a replication channel between servers so that each file gets replicated on multiple servers.
-
-Design
-------
-
-High level 
-
-* Partition the file system based on the file name. 
-* At any time a single writer can write, we call this a master.
-* For redundancy, we need to have additional replicas called slave. Slaves can optionally serve reads.
-* Slave replicates data from the master.
-* When a master fails, slave gets promoted to master.
-
-### Transaction log
-
-Every write on the master will result in creation/deletion of one or more files. In order to maintain timeline consistency slaves need to apply the changes in the same order. 
-To facilitate this, the master logs each transaction in a file and each transaction is associated with an 64 bit id in which the 32 LSB represents a sequence number and MSB represents the generation number.
-Sequence gets incremented on every transaction and and generation is increment when a new master is elected. 
-
-### Replication
-
-Replication is required to slave to keep up with the changes on the master. Every time the slave applies a change it checkpoints the last applied transaction id. 
-During restarts, this allows the slave to pull changes from the last checkpointed id. Similar to master, the slave logs each transaction to the transaction logs but instead of generating new transaction id, it uses the same id generated by the master.
-
-
-### Fail over
-
-When a master fails, a new slave will be promoted to master. If the prev master node is reachable, then the new master will flush all the 
-changes from previous master before taking up mastership. The new master will record the end transaction id of the current generation and then starts new generation 
-with sequence starting from 1. After this the master will begin accepting writes.

-
-
-
-Rsync based solution
--------------------
-
-![Rsync based File Store](../images/RSYNC_BASED_PFS.png)
-
-
-This application demonstrate a file store that uses rsync as the replication mechanism. One can envision a similar system where instead of using rsync, 
-can implement a custom solution to notify the slave of the changes and also provide an api to pull the change files.
-#### Concept
-* file_store_dir: Root directory for the actual data files 
-* change_log_dir: The transaction logs are generated under this folder.
-* check_point_dir: The slave stores the check points ( last processed transaction) here.
-
-#### Master
-* File server: This component support file uploads and downloads and writes the files to ```file_store_dir```. This is not included in this application. Idea is that most applications have different ways of implementing this component and has some business logic associated with it. It is not hard to come up with such a component if needed.
-* File store watcher: This component watches the ```file_store_dir``` directory on the local file system for any changes and notifies the registered listeners of the changes.
-* Change Log Generator: This registers as a listener of File System Watcher and on each notification logs the changes into a file under ```change_log_dir```. 
-
-####Slave
-* File server: This component on the slave will only support reads.
-* Cluster state observer: Slave observes the cluster state and is able to know who is the current master. 
-* Replicator: This has two subcomponents
-    - Periodic rsync of change log: This is a background process that periodically rsyncs the ```change_log_dir``` of the master to its local directory
-    - Change Log Watcher: This watches the ```change_log_dir``` for changes and notifies the registered listeners of the change
-    - On demand rsync invoker: This is registered as a listener to change log watcher and on every change invokes rsync to sync only the changed file.
-
-
-#### Coordination
-
-The coordination between nodes is done by Helix. Helix does the partition management and assigns the partition to multiple nodes based on the replication factor. It elects one the nodes as master and designates others as slaves.
-It provides notifications to each node in the form of state transitions ( Offline to Slave, Slave to Master). It also provides notification when there is change is cluster state. 
-This allows the slave to stop replicating from current master and start replicating from new master. 
-
-In this application, we have only one partition but its very easy to extend it to support multiple partitions. By partitioning the file store, one can add new nodes and Helix will automatically 
-re-distribute partitions among the nodes. To summarize, Helix provides partition management, fault tolerance and facilitates automated cluster expansion.

-Service Discovery
------------------
-
-One of the common usage of zookeeper is enable service discovery. 
-The basic idea is that when a server starts up it advertises its configuration/metadata such as host name port etc on zookeeper. 
-This allows clients to dynamically discover the servers that are currently active. One can think of this like a service registry to which a server registers when it starts and 
-is automatically deregistered when it shutdowns or crashes. In many cases it serves as an alternative to vips.
-
-The core idea behind this is to use zookeeper ephemeral nodes. The ephemeral nodes are created when the server registers and all its metadata is put into a znode. 
-When the server shutdowns, zookeeper automatically removes this znode. 
-
-There are two ways the clients can dynamically discover the active servers
-
-#### ZOOKEEPER WATCH
-
-Clients can set a child watch under specific path on zookeeper. 
-When a new service is registered/deregistered, zookeeper notifies the client via watchevent and the client can read the list of services. Even though this looks trivial, 
-there are lot of things one needs to keep in mind like ensuring that you first set the watch back on zookeeper before reading data from zookeeper.
-
-
-#### POLL
-
-Another approach is for the client to periodically read the zookeeper path and get the list of services.
-
-
-Both approaches have pros and cons, for example setting a watch might trigger herd effect if there are large number of clients. This is worst especially when servers are starting up. 
-But good thing about setting watch is that clients are immediately notified of a change which is not true in case of polling. 
-In some cases, having both WATCH and POLL makes sense, WATCH allows one to get notifications as soon as possible while POLL provides a safety net if a watch event is missed because of code bug or zookeeper fails to notify.
-
-##### Other important scenarios to take care of
-* What happens when zookeeper session expires. All the watches/ephemeral nodes previously added/created by this server are lost. 
-One needs to add the watches again , recreate the ephemeral nodes etc.
-* Due to network issues or java GC pauses session expiry might happen again and again also known as flapping. Its important for the server to detect this and deregister itself.
-
-##### Other operational things to consider
-* What if the node is behaving badly, one might kill the server but will lose the ability to debug. 
-It would be nice to have the ability to mark a server as disabled and clients know that a node is disabled and will not contact that node.
- 
-#### Configuration ownership
-
-This is an important aspect that is often ignored in the initial stages of your development. In common, service discovery pattern means that servers start up with some configuration and then simply puts its configuration/metadata in zookeeper. While this works well in the beginning, 
-configuration management becomes very difficult since the servers themselves are statically configured. Any change in server configuration implies restarting of the server. Ideally, it will be nice to have the ability to change configuration dynamically without having to restart a server. 
-
-Ideally you want a hybrid solution, a node starts with minimal configuration and gets the rest of configuration from zookeeper.
-
-h3. How to use Helix to achieve this
-
-Even though Helix has higher level abstraction in terms of statemachine, constraints and objectives, 
-service discovery is one of things that existed since we started. 
-The controller uses the exact mechanism we described above to discover when new servers join the cluster.
-We create these znodes under /CLUSTERNAME/LIVEINSTANCES. 
-Since at any time there is only one controller, we use ZK watch to track the liveness of a server.
-
-This recipe, simply demonstrate how one can re-use that part for implementing service discovery. This demonstrates multiple MODE's of service discovery
-
-* POLL: The client reads from zookeeper at regular intervals 30 seconds. Use this if you have 100's of clients
-* WATCH: The client sets up watcher and gets notified of the changes. Use this if you have 10's of clients.
-* NONE: This does neither of the above, but reads directly from zookeeper when ever needed.
-
-Helix provides these additional features compared to other implementations available else where
-
-* It has the concept of disabling a node which means that a badly behaving node, can be disabled using helix admin api.
-* It automatically detects if a node connects/disconnects from zookeeper repeatedly and disables the node.
-* Configuration management  
-    * Allows one to set configuration via admin api at various granulaties like cluster, instance, resource, partition 
-    * Configuration can be dynamically changed.
-    * Notifies the server when configuration changes.

-# Distributed task execution
-
-
-This recipe is intended to demonstrate how task dependencies can be modeled using primitives provided by Helix. A given task can be run with desired parallelism and will start only when up-stream dependencies are met. The demo executes the task DAG described below using 10 workers. Although the demo starts the workers as threads, there is no requirement that all the workers need to run in the same process. In reality, these workers run on many different boxes on a cluster.  When worker fails, Helix takes care of 
-re-assigning a failed task partition to a new worker. 
-
-Redis is used as a result store. Any other suitable implementation for TaskResultStore can be plugged in.
-
-### Workflow 
-
-
-#### Input 
-
-10000 impression events and around 100 click events are pre-populated in task result store (redis). 
-
-* **ImpEvent**: format: id,isFraudulent,country,gender
-
-* **ClickEvent**: format: id,isFraudulent,impEventId
-
-#### Stages
-
-+ **FilterImps**: Filters impression where isFraudulent=true.
-
-+ **FilterClicks**: Filters clicks where isFraudulent=true
-
-+ **impCountsByGender**: Generates impression counts grouped by gender. It does this by incrementing the count for 'impression_gender_counts:<gender_value>' in the task result store (redis hash). Depends on: **FilterImps**
-
-+ **impCountsByCountry**: Generates impression counts grouped by country. It does this by incrementing the count for 'impression_country_counts:<country_value>' in the task result store (redis hash). Depends on: **FilterClicks**
-
-+ **impClickJoin**: Joins clicks with corresponding impression event using impEventId as the join key. Join is needed to pull dimensions not present in click event. Depends on: **FilterImps, FilterClicks**
-
-+ **clickCountsByGender**: Generates click counts grouped by gender. It does this by incrementing the count for click_gender_counts:<gender_value> in the task result store (redis hash). Depends on: **impClickJoin**
-
-+ **clickCountsByGender**: Generates click counts grouped by country. It does this by incrementing the count for click_country_counts:<country_value> in the task result store (redis hash). Depends on: **impClickJoin**
-
-+ **report**: Reads from all aggregates generated by previous stages and prints them. Depends on: **impCountsByGender, impCountsByCountry, clickCountsByGender,clickCountsByGender**
-
-
-### Creating DAG
-
-Each stage is represented as a Node along with the upstream dependency and desired parallelism.  Each stage is modelled as a resource in Helix using OnlineOffline state model. As part of Offline to Online transition, we watch the external view of upstream resources and wait for them to transition to online state. See Task.java for additional info.
-
-```
-
-  Dag dag = new Dag();
-  dag.addNode(new Node("filterImps", 10, ""));
-  dag.addNode(new Node("filterClicks", 5, ""));
-  dag.addNode(new Node("impClickJoin", 10, "filterImps,filterClicks"));
-  dag.addNode(new Node("impCountsByGender", 10, "filterImps"));
-  dag.addNode(new Node("impCountsByCountry", 10, "filterImps"));
-  dag.addNode(new Node("clickCountsByGender", 5, "impClickJoin"));
-  dag.addNode(new Node("clickCountsByCountry", 5, "impClickJoin"));		
-  dag.addNode(new Node("report",1,"impCountsByGender,impCountsByCountry,clickCountsByGender,clickCountsByCountry"));
-
-
-```
-
-### DEMO
-
-In order to run the demo, use the following steps
-
-See http://redis.io/topics/quickstart on how to install redis server
-
-```
-
-Start redis e.g:
-./redis-server --port 6379
-
-git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-helix.git
-cd recipes/task-execution
-mvn clean install package -DskipTests
-cd target/task-execution-pkg/bin
-chmod +x task-execution-demo.sh

-Lock Manager with a User-Defined Rebalancer
--------------------------------------------
-Helix is able to compute node preferences and state assignments automatically using general-purpose algorithms. In many cases, a distributed system implementer may choose to instead define a customized approach to computing the location of replicas, the state mapping, or both in response to the addition or removal of participants. The following is an implementation of the [Distributed Lock Manager](./lock_manager.html) that includes a user-defined rebalancer.
-
-### Define the cluster and locks
-
-The YAML file below fully defines the cluster and the locks. A lock can be in one of two states: locked and unlocked. Transitions can happen in either direction, and the locked is preferred. A resource in this example is the entire collection of locks to distribute. A partition is mapped to a lock; in this case that means there are 12 locks. These 12 locks will be distributed across 3 nodes. The constraints indicate that only one replica of a lock can be in the locked state at any given time. These locks can each only have a single holder, defined by a replica count of 1.
-
-Notice the rebalancer section of the definition. The mode is set to USER_DEFINED and the class name refers to the plugged-in rebalancer implementation. This implementation is called whenever the state of the cluster changes, as is the case when participants are added or removed from the system.
-
-Location: incubator-helix/recipes/user-rebalanced-lock-manager/src/main/resources/lock-manager-config.yaml
-
-```
-clusterName: lock-manager-custom-rebalancer # unique name for the cluster
-resources:
-  - name: lock-group # unique resource name
-    rebalancer: # we will provide our own rebalancer
-      mode: USER_DEFINED
-      class: org.apache.helix.userrebalancedlocks.LockManagerRebalancer
-    partitions:
-      count: 12 # number of locks
-      replicas: 1 # number of simultaneous holders for each lock
-    stateModel:
-      name: lock-unlock # unique model name
-      states: [LOCKED, RELEASED, DROPPED] # the list of possible states
-      transitions: # the list of possible transitions
-        - name: Unlock
-          from: LOCKED
-          to: RELEASED
-        - name: Lock
-          from: RELEASED
-          to: LOCKED
-        - name: DropLock
-          from: LOCKED
-          to: DROPPED
-        - name: DropUnlock
-          from: RELEASED
-          to: DROPPED
-        - name: Undrop
-          from: DROPPED
-          to: RELEASED
-      initialState: RELEASED
-    constraints:
-      state:
-        counts: # maximum number of replicas of a partition that can be in each state
-          - name: LOCKED
-            count: "1"
-          - name: RELEASED
-            count: "-1"
-          - name: DROPPED
-            count: "-1"
-        priorityList: [LOCKED, RELEASED, DROPPED] # states in order of priority
-      transition: # transitions priority to enforce order that transitions occur
-        priorityList: [Unlock, Lock, Undrop, DropUnlock, DropLock]
-participants: # list of nodes that can acquire locks
-  - name: localhost_12001
-    host: localhost
-    port: 12001
-  - name: localhost_12002
-    host: localhost
-    port: 12002
-  - name: localhost_12003
-    host: localhost
-    port: 12003
-```
-
-Then, Helix\'s YAMLClusterSetup tool can read in the configuration and bootstrap the cluster immediately:
-
-```
-YAMLClusterSetup setup = new YAMLClusterSetup(zkAddress);
-InputStream input =
-    Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()
-        .getResourceAsStream("lock-manager-config.yaml");
-YAMLClusterSetup.YAMLClusterConfig config = setup.setupCluster(input);
-```
-
-### Write a rebalancer
-Below is a full implementation of a rebalancer. In this case, it simply throws out the previous ideal state, computes the target node for as many partition replicas as can hold a lock in the LOCKED state (in this example, one), and assigns them the LOCKED state (which is at the head of the state preference list). Clearly a more robust implementation would likely examine the current ideal state to maintain current assignments, and the full state list to handle models more complicated than this one. However, for a simple lock holder implementation, this is sufficient.
-
-Location: incubator-helix/recipes/user-rebalanced-lock-manager/src/main/java/org/apache/helix/userdefinedrebalancer/LockManagerRebalancer.java
-
-```
-public class LockManagerRebalancer implements Rebalancer {
-  @Override
-  public void init(HelixManager manager) {
-    // do nothing; this rebalancer is independent of the manager
-  }
-
-  @Override
-  public ResourceAssignment computeResourceMapping(Resource resource, IdealState currentIdealState,
-      CurrentStateOutput currentStateOutput, ClusterDataCache clusterData) {
-    // Initialize an empty mapping of locks to participants
-    ResourceAssignment assignment = new ResourceAssignment(resource.getResourceName());
-
-    // Get the list of live participants in the cluster
-    List<String> liveParticipants = new ArrayList<String>(clusterData.getLiveInstances().keySet());
-
-    // Get the state model (should be a simple lock/unlock model) and the highest-priority state
-    String stateModelName = currentIdealState.getStateModelDefRef();
-    StateModelDefinition stateModelDef = clusterData.getStateModelDef(stateModelName);
-    if (stateModelDef.getStatesPriorityList().size() < 1) {
-      LOG.error("Invalid state model definition. There should be at least one state.");
-      return assignment;
-    }
-    String lockState = stateModelDef.getStatesPriorityList().get(0);
-
-    // Count the number of participants allowed to lock each lock
-    String stateCount = stateModelDef.getNumInstancesPerState(lockState);
-    int lockHolders = 0;
-    try {
-      // a numeric value is a custom-specified number of participants allowed to lock the lock
-      lockHolders = Integer.parseInt(stateCount);
-    } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
-      LOG.error("Invalid state model definition. The lock state does not have a valid count");
-      return assignment;
-    }
-
-    // Fairly assign the lock state to the participants using a simple mod-based sequential
-    // assignment. For instance, if each lock can be held by 3 participants, lock 0 would be held
-    // by participants (0, 1, 2), lock 1 would be held by (1, 2, 3), and so on, wrapping around the
-    // number of participants as necessary.
-    // This assumes a simple lock-unlock model where the only state of interest is which nodes have
-    // acquired each lock.
-    int i = 0;
-    for (Partition partition : resource.getPartitions()) {
-      Map<String, String> replicaMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
-      for (int j = i; j < i + lockHolders; j++) {
-        int participantIndex = j % liveParticipants.size();
-        String participant = liveParticipants.get(participantIndex);
-        // enforce that a participant can only have one instance of a given lock
-        if (!replicaMap.containsKey(participant)) {
-          replicaMap.put(participant, lockState);
-        }
-      }
-      assignment.addReplicaMap(partition, replicaMap);
-      i++;
-    }
-    return assignment;
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Start up the participants
-Here is a lock class based on the newly defined lock-unlock state model so that the participant can receive callbacks on state transitions.
-
-Location: incubator-helix/recipes/user-rebalanced-lock-manager/src/main/java/org/apache/helix/userdefinedrebalancer/Lock.java
-
-```
-public class Lock extends StateModel {
-  private String lockName;
-
-  public Lock(String lockName) {
-    this.lockName = lockName;
-  }
-
-  @Transition(from = "RELEASED", to = "LOCKED")
-  public void lock(Message m, NotificationContext context) {
-    System.out.println(context.getManager().getInstanceName() + " acquired lock:" + lockName);
-  }
-
-  @Transition(from = "LOCKED", to = "RELEASED")
-  public void release(Message m, NotificationContext context) {
-    System.out.println(context.getManager().getInstanceName() + " releasing lock:" + lockName);
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Here is the factory to make the Lock class accessible.
-
-Location: incubator-helix/recipes/user-rebalanced-lock-manager/src/main/java/org/apache/helix/userdefinedrebalancer/LockFactory.java
-
-```
-public class LockFactory extends StateModelFactory<Lock> {
-  @Override
-  public Lock createNewStateModel(String lockName) {
-    return new Lock(lockName);
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Finally, here is the factory registration and the start of the participant:
-
-```
-participantManager =
-    HelixManagerFactory.getZKHelixManager(clusterName, participantName, InstanceType.PARTICIPANT,
-        zkAddress);
-participantManager.getStateMachineEngine().registerStateModelFactory(stateModelName,
-    new LockFactory());
-participantManager.connect();
-```
-
-### Start up the controller
-
-```
-controllerManager =
-    HelixControllerMain.startHelixController(zkAddress, config.clusterName, "controller",
-        HelixControllerMain.STANDALONE);
-```
-
-### Try it out
-#### Building 
-```
-git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-helix.git
-cd incubator-helix
-mvn clean install package -DskipTests
-cd recipes/user-rebalanced-lock-manager/target/user-rebalanced-lock-manager-pkg/bin
-chmod +x *

-
-Notice that the lock assignment directly follows the assignment generated by the user-defined rebalancer both initially and after a participant is removed from the system.

-# [Helix Tutorial](./Tutorial.html): Controller
-
-Next, let\'s implement the controller.  This is the brain of the cluster.  Helix makes sure there is exactly one active controller running the cluster.
-
-### Start the Helix agent
-
-
-It requires the following parameters:
- 
-* clusterName: A logical name to represent the group of nodes
-* instanceName: A logical name of the process creating the manager instance. Generally this is host:port.
-* instanceType: Type of the process. This can be one of the following types, in this case use CONTROLLER:
-    * CONTROLLER: Process that controls the cluster, any number of controllers can be started but only one will be active at any given time.
-    * PARTICIPANT: Process that performs the actual task in the distributed system. 
-    * SPECTATOR: Process that observes the changes in the cluster.
-    * ADMIN: To carry out system admin actions.
-* zkConnectString: Connection string to Zookeeper. This is of the form host1:port1,host2:port2,host3:port3. 
-
-```
-      manager = HelixManagerFactory.getZKHelixManager(clusterName,
-                                                      instanceName,
-                                                      instanceType,
-                                                      zkConnectString);
-```
-
-### Controller Code
-
-The Controller needs to know about all changes in the cluster. Helix takes care of this with the default implementation.
-If you need additional functionality, see GenericHelixController on how to configure the pipeline.
-
-```
-      manager = HelixManagerFactory.getZKHelixManager(clusterName,
-                                                          instanceName,
-                                                          InstanceType.CONTROLLER,
-                                                          zkConnectString);
-     manager.connect();
-     GenericHelixController controller = new GenericHelixController();
-     manager.addConfigChangeListener(controller);
-     manager.addLiveInstanceChangeListener(controller);
-     manager.addIdealStateChangeListener(controller);
-     manager.addExternalViewChangeListener(controller);
-     manager.addControllerListener(controller);
-```
-The snippet above shows how the controller is started. You can also start the controller using command line interface.
-  
-```
-cd helix/helix-core/target/helix-core-pkg/bin
-./run-helix-controller.sh --zkSvr <Zookeeper ServerAddress (Required)>  --cluster <Cluster name (Required)>
-```
-
-### Controller deployment modes
-
-Helix provides multiple options to deploy the controller.
-
-#### STANDALONE
-
-The Controller can be started as a separate process to manage a cluster. This is the recommended approach. However, since one controller can be a single point of failure, multiple controller processes are required for reliability.  Even if multiple controllers are running, only one will be actively managing the cluster at any time and is decided by a leader-election process. If the leader fails, another leader will take over managing the cluster.
-
-Even though we recommend this method of deployment, it has the drawback of having to manage an additional service for each cluster. See Controller As a Service option.
-
-#### EMBEDDED
-
-If setting up a separate controller process is not viable, then it is possible to embed the controller as a library in each of the participants.
-
-#### CONTROLLER AS A SERVICE
-
-One of the cool features we added in Helix is to use a set of controllers to manage a large number of clusters. 
-
-For example if you have X clusters to be managed, instead of deploying X*3 (3 controllers for fault tolerance) controllers for each cluster, one can deploy just 3 controllers.  Each controller can manage X/3 clusters.  If any controller fails, the remaining two will manage X/2 clusters.

-
-# [Helix Tutorial](./Tutorial.html): Customizing Health Checks
-
-In this chapter, we\'ll learn how to customize the health check, based on metrics of your distributed system.  
-
-### Health Checks
-
-Note: _this in currently in development mode, not yet ready for production._
-
-Helix provides the ability for each node in the system to report health metrics on a periodic basis. 
-
-Helix supports multiple ways to aggregate these metrics:
-
-* SUM
-* AVG
-* EXPONENTIAL DECAY
-* WINDOW
-
-Helix persists the aggregated value only.
-
-Applications can define a threshold on the aggregate values according to the SLAs, and when the SLA is violated Helix will fire an alert. 
-Currently Helix only fires an alert, but in a future release we plan to use these metrics to either mark the node dead or load balance the partitions.
-This feature will be valuable for distributed systems that support multi-tenancy and have a large variation in work load patterns.  In addition, this can be used to detect skewed partitions (hotspots) and rebalance the cluster.

-
-# [Helix Tutorial](./Tutorial.html): Messaging
-
-In this chapter, we\'ll learn about messaging, a convenient feature in Helix for sending messages between nodes of a cluster.  This is an interesting feature which is quite useful in practice. It is common that nodes in a distributed system require a mechanism to interact with each other.  
-
-### Example: Bootstrapping a Replica
-
-Consider a search system  where the index replica starts up and it does not have an index. A typical solution is to get the index from a common location, or to copy the index from another replica.
-
-Helix provides a messaging API for intra-cluster communication between nodes in the system.  Helix provides a mechanism to specify the message recipient in terms of resource, partition, and state rather than specifying hostnames.  Helix ensures that the message is delivered to all of the required recipients. In this particular use case, the instance can specify the recipient criteria as all replicas of the desired partition to bootstrap.
-Since Helix is aware of the global state of the system, it can send the message to appropriate nodes. Once the nodes respond, Helix provides the bootstrapping replica with all the responses.
-
-This is a very generic API and can also be used to schedule various periodic tasks in the cluster, such as data backups, log cleanup, etc.
-System Admins can also perform ad-hoc tasks, such as on-demand backups or a system command (such as rm -rf ;) across all nodes of the cluster
-
-```
-      ClusterMessagingService messagingService = manager.getMessagingService();
-
-      // Construct the Message
-      Message requestBackupUriRequest = new Message(
-          MessageType.USER_DEFINE_MSG, UUID.randomUUID().toString());
-      requestBackupUriRequest
-          .setMsgSubType(BootstrapProcess.REQUEST_BOOTSTRAP_URL);
-      requestBackupUriRequest.setMsgState(MessageState.NEW);
-
-      // Set the Recipient criteria: all nodes that satisfy the criteria will receive the message
-      Criteria recipientCriteria = new Criteria();
-      recipientCriteria.setInstanceName("%");
-      recipientCriteria.setRecipientInstanceType(InstanceType.PARTICIPANT);
-      recipientCriteria.setResource("MyDB");
-      recipientCriteria.setPartition("");
-
-      // Should be processed only by process(es) that are active at the time of sending the message
-      //   This means if the recipient is restarted after message is sent, it will not be processe.
-      recipientCriteria.setSessionSpecific(true);
-
-      // wait for 30 seconds
-      int timeout = 30000;
-
-      // the handler that will be invoked when any recipient responds to the message.
-      BootstrapReplyHandler responseHandler = new BootstrapReplyHandler();
-
-      // this will return only after all recipients respond or after timeout
-      int sentMessageCount = messagingService.sendAndWait(recipientCriteria,
-          requestBackupUriRequest, responseHandler, timeout);
-```
-
-See HelixManager.DefaultMessagingService in [Javadocs](./apidocs/reference/org/apache/helix/messaging/DefaultMessagingService.html) for more info.
