Plugin SPI

Plugin interface

get_versions()

Returns all versions of Hadoop that could be used with the plugin. It is responsibility of the plugin to make sure that all required images for each hadoop version are available, as well as configs and whatever else that plugin needs to create the Hadoop cluster.

Returns: list of strings - Hadoop versions

Example return value: [“1.2.1”, “2.3.0”, “2.4.1”]

get_configs(hadoop_version)

Lists all configs supported by plugin with descriptions, defaults and targets for which this config is applicable.

Returns: list of configs

Example return value: ((“JobTracker heap size”, "JobTracker heap size, in MB", "int", “512”, “mapreduce”, "node", True, 1))

get_node_processes(hadoop_version)

Returns all supported services and node processes for a given Hadoop version. Each node process belongs to a single service and that relationship is reflected in the returned dict object. See example for details.

Returns: dictionary having entries (service -> list of processes)

Example return value: {"mapreduce": ["tasktracker", "jobtracker"], "hdfs": ["datanode", "namenode"]}

get_required_image_tags(hadoop_version)

Lists tags, that should be added to OpenStack Image via Image Registry. Tags are used to filter Images by plugin and hadoop version.

Returns: list of tags

Example return value: ["tag1", "some_other_tag", ...]

validate(cluster)

Validates a given cluster object. Raises SaharaException with meaningful message.

Returns: None

Example exception: <NotSingleNameNodeException {code='NOT_SINGLE_NAME_NODE', message='Hadoop cluster should contain only 1 NameNode instance. Actual NN count is 2' }>

validate_scaling(cluster, existing, additional)

To be improved.

Validates a given cluster before scaling operation.

Returns: list of validation_errors

update_infra(cluster)

Plugin has a chance to change cluster description here. Specifically, plugin must specify image for VMs could change VMs specs in any way it needs. For instance, plugin can ask for additional VMs for the management tool.

Returns: None

configure_cluster(cluster)

Configures cluster on provisioned by Sahara VMs. In this function plugin should perform all actions like adjusting OS, installing required packages (including Hadoop, if needed), configuring Hadoop, etc.

Returns: None

start_cluster(cluster)

Start already configured cluster. This method is guaranteed to be called only on cluster which was already prepared with configure_cluster(...) call.

Returns: None

scale_cluster(cluster, instances)

Scale an existing Cluster with additional instances. Instances argument is a list of ready-to-configure instances. Plugin should do all configuration operations in this method and start all services on those instances.

Returns: None

get_edp_engine(cluster, job_type)

Returns an EDP job engine object that supports the specified job_type on the given cluster, or None if there is no support. The EDP job engine object returned must implement the interface described in edp.spi. The job_type is a String matching one of the job types listed in edp_spi_job_types.

Returns: an EDP job engine object or None

decommission_nodes(cluster, instances)

Scale cluster down by removing a list of instances. Plugin should stop services on a provided list of instances. Plugin also may want to update some configurations on other instances, so this method is the right place to do that.

Returns: None

convert(config, plugin_name, version, template_name, cluster_template_create)

Provides plugin with ability to create cluster based on plugin-specific config. Sahara expects plugin to fill in all the required fields. The last argument is the function that plugin should call to save the Cluster Template. See “Cluster Lifecycle for Config File Mode” section below for clarification.

on_terminate_cluster(cluster)

When user terminates cluster, Sahara simply shuts down all the cluster VMs. This method is guaranteed to be invoked before that, allowing plugin to do some clean-up.

Returns: None

get_open_ports(node_group)

When user requests Sahara to automatically create security group for the node group (auto_security_group property set to True), Sahara will call this plugin method to get list of ports that need to be opened.

Returns: list of ports to be open in auto security group for the given node group

def get_edp_job_types(versions)

Optional method, which provides ability to see all supported job types for specified plugin versions

Returns: dict with supported job types for specified versions of plugin

Object Model

Here is a description of all the objects involved in the API.

Notes:

  • cluster and node_group have extra field allowing plugin to persist any complementary info about the cluster.
  • node_process is just a process that runs at some node in cluster.

Example list of node processes:

  1. jobtracker
  2. namenode
  3. tasktracker
  4. datanode
  • Each plugin may have different names for the same processes.

Config

An object, describing one configuration entry

Property Type Description
name string Config name.
description string A hint for user, what this config is used for.
config_type enum possible values are: 'string', 'integer', 'boolean', 'enum'.
config_values list List of possible values, if config_type is enum.
default_value string Default value for config.
applicable_target string The target could be either a service returned by get_node_processes(...) call in form of 'service:<service name>', or 'general'.
scope enum Could be either 'node' or 'cluster'.
is_optional bool If is_optional is False and no default_value is specified, user should provide a value.
priority int 1 or 2. A Hint for UI. Configs with priority 1 are always displayed. Priority 2 means user should click a button to see the config.

Value provided by user for a specific config.

Property Type Description
config config A config object for which this user_input is provided.
