[jira] [Created] (WHIRR-384) Add Mahout as a service

Add Mahout as a service
-----------------------

                 Key: WHIRR-384
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-384
             Project: Whirr
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: new service
    Affects Versions: 0.7.0
            Reporter: Frank Scholten
             Fix For: 0.7.0


Here is an initial patch to support Mahout as a Whirr service.

I created the role 'mahout-home' which can be used to install the binary Mahout distribution on a Hadoop namenode.
By combining this role with configuration for a Hadoop cluster you can SSH into the namenode, su to root and start running Mahout jobs via the mahout script immediately.

The 'mahout-home' role has two properties

Mahout version					whirr.mahout.version 
URL of the Mahout binary distribution tarball	whirr.mahout.tarball.url

Note that I used a snapshot version of Mahout for testing, revision 1169784, because there were some problems with the Mahout script in 0.5 that have been fixed on trunk, see MAHOUT-680. To test you can set the tarball property to this link http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13436484/mahout-distribution-0.6-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz

I used configure actions and the onBeforeConfigure(). If there is a better way to express this with the Whirr API let me know.

Currently I am investigating a 'mahout-jar' role, which installs the Mahout examples job jar under $HADOOP_HOME/lib on a tasktracer node. I already have some code for putting the jar in place but when running a job from my local machine I still get ClassNotFoundExceptions. I believe this is because Hadoop has already started before the jar is put in the lib dir, so the jar won't be picked up, but I have to investigate some more. From WHIRR-221 I understood that there is no support (yet?) for ordering of services but if you have an idea on how to fix this let me know.

Comments and suggestions welcome!

------------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: 0.7.0)
                   0.8.0

This one still needs integration tests - moving to 0.8.0.

Here are some changes I've made to a local branch to get things to build and run:
https://github.com/andreisavu/whirr/commit/7c105f02eff8aa7b98648b3d5ab6512161bff2e5

Adding a file with logging settings is one of the remaining things to do.

I think this is happening because the following line:

    Predicate<NodeMetadata> mahoutClientRole = Predicates.and(alwaysTrue(), withIds("mahout-client"));
{code}

should be something like this:

{code}
    Cluster.Instance mahoutInstance = getOnlyElement(filter(controller.getInstances(clusterSpec), role("mahout-client")));
    Predicate<NodeMetadata> mahoutClientRole = and(alwaysTrue(), withIds(mahoutInstance.getId()));

[jira] [Commented] (WHIRR-384) Add Mahout as a service

Posted by "Tom White (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-384?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13103312#comment-13103312 ] 

Tom White commented on WHIRR-384:
---------------------------------

This looks great! Thanks for submitting it Frank.

* How does Mahout find the Hadoop cluster? Is there some extra configuration step needed? (Especially if you install on a node where Hadoop isn't installed.)
* How about calling the role "mahout-client"? I used a similar term over at https://github.com/tomwhite/whirr-scm for the client installation.
* Why do you need to install the Mahout examples JAR on the cluster at all? I would think you can submit it using "hadoop jar". Either way, this could be a follow on issue. We'd probably have to add something to Hadoop to allow extra JARs to be installed.
* Are all the dependencies needed? E.g. I can't see where jsch is used. mvn dependency:analyze should help here.

Do we also want {{mahout}} in {{cli/pom.xml}} ?

Frank, nice work.

Andrei, one other thought, or rather response to a potential smell -- the role-filter expression. Is it time for a convenience class?

{code}
ClusterScriptRunner.onCluster(cluster).onNodesWithRole("mahout-client").statement(...).withOptions(...).run()

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-384?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13103965#comment-13103965 ] 

Frank Scholten commented on WHIRR-384:
--------------------------------------

Added new patch with 'mahout-client' role and without the unneeded dependencies.

At the moment the 'mahout-client' role is oblivious to Hadoop. It unpacks the tarball and adds the mahout script to the path. The mahout script does have some checks, it looks for configuration in $HADOOP_HOME/conf but you still need to setup a Hadoop cluster.

Before this patch I would point HADOOP_CONF_DIR to the Hadoop configuration generated by Whirr on my local machine and run jobs from there. I guess if Whirr could generate this config on another node under $HADOOP_HOME/conf and you give this node the 'mahout-client' you can submit mahout jobs from that node in the same way. The role does not have to be added to a namenode, the node just needs Hadoop configuration.

About the 'mahout-jar' role, my idea was to create a cluster with the Mahout jar on tasktracker nodes so you could run a Mahout job from a Java process that has compile dependencies on Mahout without having to build a job jar that contains Mahout and its dependencies. I would like to be able to set up a Java project with dependencies on Whirr, Mahout and Hadoop and launch jobs from Java without building a job jar. However, if you this is problematic or not a good idea let me know.

--------------------------------------

I tried using

{code}
Cluster.Instance mahoutInstance = getOnlyElement(filter(controller.getInstances(clusterSpec), role("mahout-client")));
{code}

but it returned null. Is this a bug or did I use the API incorrectly? I changed it to the code below to make it work.

{code}
Cluster cluster = new ClusterStateStoreFactory().create(clusterSpec).load();
return cluster.getInstanceMatching(anyRoleIn(newHashSet(MAHOUT_CLIENT_ROLE)));
{code}

Frank this is not a bug, I think you have to use ClusterController.getInstances(ClusterSpec spec, ClusterStateStore stateStore) in filter(). The second approach is fine for now.

Awesome work guys.
+1 applies and compiles cleanly

PS: Not really relevant for this release but we should move assertResponsesContain() to some common location, I'm seeing it copied multiple times.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I took a quick look and overall it looks good. Before committing we should also add an integration test that starts a Hadoop cluster and submits a Mahout job. Do you have some free cycles? I can help as needed.
