Vanilla Plugin

The vanilla plugin is a reference implementation which allows users to operate a cluster with Apache Hadoop.

Since the Newton release Spark is integrated into the Vanilla plugin so you can launch Spark jobs on a Vanilla cluster.

For cluster provisioning prepared images should be used. They already have Apache Hadoop 2.7.1 installed.

You may build images by yourself using vanilla-imagebuilder or you could download prepared images from http://sahara-files.mirantis.com/images/upstream

Vanilla plugin requires an image to be tagged in Sahara Image Registry with two tags: 'vanilla' and '<hadoop version>' (e.g. '2.7.1').

The default username specified for these images is different for each distribution:

OS username
Ubuntu 14 ubuntu
Fedora 20 fedora
CentOS 6 cloud-user
CentOS 7 centos

Cluster Validation

When user creates or scales a Hadoop cluster using a Vanilla plugin, the cluster topology requested by user is verified for consistency.

Currently there are the following limitations in cluster topology for Vanilla plugin:

For Vanilla Hadoop version 2.x.x:

  • Cluster must contain exactly one namenode
  • Cluster can contain at most one resourcemanager
  • Cluster can contain at most one secondary namenode
  • Cluster can contain at most one historyserver
  • Cluster can contain at most one oozie and this process is also required for EDP
  • Cluster can't contain oozie without resourcemanager and without historyserver
  • Cluster can't have nodemanager nodes if it doesn't have resourcemanager
  • Cluster can have at most one hiveserver node.
  • Cluster can have at most one spark history server and this process is also required for Spark EDP (Spark is available since the Newton release).
