Apache Doris Be development and debugging

initial preparation work

This tutorial was conducted under Ubuntu 20.04

The name of the BE binary that appears in this doc is doris_be, which was palo_be in previous versions.

  1. Download the doris source code

    URL:apache/doris: Apache Doris (github.com)

  2. Install GCC 8.3.1+, Oracle JDK 1.8+, Python 2.7+, confirm that the gcc, java, python commands point to the correct version, and set the JAVA_HOME environment variable

  3. Install other dependent packages

sudo apt install build-essential openjdk-8-jdk maven cmake byacc flex automake libtool-bin bison binutils-dev libiberty-dev zip unzip libncurses5-dev curl git ninja-build python brotli
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gcc-10 g++-10 
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool autopoint
  1. install : libssl-dev
sudo apt install -y libssl-dev

Compile

The following steps are carried out in the /home/workspace directory

  1. dowload source
git clone https://github.com/apache/doris.git 
  1. Compile third-party dependency packages
 cd /home/workspace/doris/thirdparty
 ./build-thirdparty.sh
  1. Compile doris product code
cd /home/workspace/doris
./build.sh

Note: This compilation has the following instructions:

./build.sh  #Compile be and fe at the same time
./build.sh  --be #Only compile be
./build.sh  --fe #Only compilefe
./build.sh  --fe --be --clean#Delete and compile be fe at the same time
./build.sh  --fe  --clean#Delete and compile fe
./build.sh  --be  --clean#Delete and compile be
./build.sh  --be --fe  --clean#Delete and compile be fe at the same time

If nothing happens, the compilation should be successful, and the final deployment file will be output to the /home/workspace/doris/output/ directory. If you still encounter other problems, you can refer to the doris installation document http://doris.apache.org.

Deployment and debugging

  1. Authorize be compilation result files
chmod  /home/workspace/doris/output/be/lib/doris_be

Note: /home/workspace/doris/output/be/lib/doris_be is the executable file of be.

  1. Create a data storage directory

By viewing /home/workspace/doris/output/be/conf/be.conf

# INFO, WARNING, ERROR, FATAL
sys_log_level = INFO
be_port = 9060
be_rpc_port = 9070
webserver_port = 8040
heartbeat_service_port = 9050
brpc_port = 8060

# Note that there should at most one ip match this list.
# If no ip match this rule, will choose one randomly.
# use CIDR format, e.g. 10.10.10.0/
# Default value is empty.
priority_networks = 192.168.59.0/24 # data root path, separate by ';'
storage_root_path = /soft/be/storage 
# sys_log_dir = ${PALO_HOME}/log
# sys_log_roll_mode = SIZE-MB-
# sys_log_roll_num =
# sys_log_verbose_modules =
# log_buffer_level = -
# palo_cgroups 

Need to create this folder, this is where the be data is stored

mkdir -p /soft/be/storage
  1. Open vscode, and open the directory where the be source code is located. In this case, open the directory as /home/workspace/doris/,For details on how to vscode, refer to the online tutorial

  2. Install the vscode ms c++ debugging plug-in, the plug-in identified by the red box in the figure below

  1. Create a launch.json file, the content of the file is as follows:
{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "(gdb) Launch",
            "type": "cppdbg",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "/home/workspace/doris/output/be/lib/doris_be",
            "args": [],
            "stopAtEntry": false,
            "cwd": "/home/workspace/doris/",
            "environment": [{"name":"PALO_HOME","value":"/home/workspace/doris/output/be/"},
                            {"name":"UDF_RUNTIME_DIR","value":"/home/workspace/doris/output/be/lib/udf-runtime"},
                            {"name":"LOG_DIR","value":"/home/workspace/doris/output/be/log"},
                            {"name":"PID_DIR","value":"/home/workspace/doris/output/be/bin"}
                           ],
            "externalConsole": true,
            "MIMode": "gdb",
            "setupCommands": [
                {
                    "description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
                    "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
                    "ignoreFailures": true
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Among them, environment defines several environment variables DORIS_HOME UDF_RUNTIME_DIR LOG_DIR PID_DIR, which are the environment variables needed when doris_be is running. If it is not set, the startup will fail

Note: If you want attach (additional process) debugging, the configuration code is as follows:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
      	{
          "name": "(gdb) Launch",
          "type": "cppdbg",
          "request": "attach",
          "program": "/home/workspace/doris/output/lib/doris_be",
          "processId":,
          "MIMode": "gdb",
          "internalConsoleOptions":"openOnSessionStart",
          "setupCommands": [
                {
                    "description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
                    "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
                    "ignoreFailures": true
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

In the configuration “request”: “attach”, “processId”: PID, these two configurations are the key points: set the debug mode of gdb to attach and attach the processId of the process, otherwise it will fail. To find the process id, you can enter the following command in the command line:

ps -ef | grep palo*

As shown in the figure:

Among them, 15200 is the process id of the currently running be.

An example of a complete launch.json is as follows:

 {
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "(gdb) Attach",
            "type": "cppdbg",
            "request": "attach",
            "program": "/home/workspace/doris/output/be/lib/doris_be",
            "processId": 17016,
            "MIMode": "gdb",
            "setupCommands": [
                {
                    "description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
                    "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
                    "ignoreFailures": true
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "name": "(gdb) Launch",
            "type": "cppdbg",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "/home/workspace/doris/output/be/lib/doris_be",
            "args": [],
            "stopAtEntry": false,
            "cwd": "/home/workspace/doris/output/be",
            "environment": [
                {
                    "name": "DORIS_HOME",
                    "value": "/home/workspace/doris/output/be"
                },
                {
                    "name": "UDF_RUNTIME_DIR",
                    "value": "/home/workspace/doris/output/be/lib/udf-runtime"
                },
                {
                    "name": "LOG_DIR",
                    "value": "/home/workspace/doris/output/be/log"
                },
                {
                    "name": "PID_DIR",
                    "value": "/home/workspace/doris/output/be/bin"
                }
            ],
            "externalConsole": false,
            "MIMode": "gdb",
            "setupCommands": [
                {
                    "description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
                    "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
                    "ignoreFailures": true
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
