This page describes how to use Riak-CS for deep storage instead of S3. We are still setting up some of the peripheral stuff (file downloads, etc.).

This guide provided by Pablo Nebrera, thanks!

The VMWare instance

A VMWare image based on Druid 0.3.27.2 and built according to the instructions below has also been provided by Pablo Nebrera.

The provided vmware machine has access with the following credentials:

username: root
password: riakdruid

The Setup

We started with a minimal CentOS installation but you can use any other compatible installation. At the end of this setup you will one node that is running:

  1. A Kafka Broker
  2. A single-node Zookeeper ensemble
  3. A single-node Riak-CS cluster
  4. A Druid Coordinator
  5. A Druid Broker
  6. A Druid Historical
  7. A Druid Realtime

This just walks through getting the relevant software installed and running. You will then need to configure the Realtime node to take in your data.

Configure System

  1. Install CentOS-6.4-x86_64-minimal.iso (“RedHat v6.4” is the name of the AWS AMI) or your favorite Linux OS (if you use a different OS, some of the installation instructions for peripheral services might differ, please adjust them according to the system you are using). The rest of these instructions assume that you have a running instance and are running as the root user.

  2. Configure the network. We used dhcp executing:

     dhclient eth0
    
  3. Disable firewall for now

     service iptables stop
     chkconfig iptables off
    
  4. Change the limits on the number of open files a process can have:

     cat >> /etc/security/limits.conf <<- _RBEOF_
     # ulimit settings for Riak CS
     root soft nofile 65536
     root hard nofile 65536
     riak soft nofile 65536
     riak hard nofile 65536
     _RBEOF_
    
     ulimit -n 65536
    

Install base software packages

  1. Install necessary software with yum

     yum install -y java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel git wget mysql-server
    
  2. Install maven

     wget http://apache.rediris.es/maven/maven-3/3.0.5/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.5-bin.tar.gz
     tar xzf apache-maven-3.0.5-bin.tar.gz -C /usr/local
     pushd /usr/local
     sudo ln -s apache-maven-3.0.5 maven
     popd
     echo 'export M2_HOME=/usr/local/maven' >> /etc/profile.d/maven.sh
     echo 'export PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:${PATH}' >> /etc/profile.d/maven.sh
     source /etc/profile.d/maven.sh
    
  3. Install erlang

     wget http://binaries.erlang-solutions.com/rpm/centos/6/x86_64/esl-erlang-R15B01-1.x86_64.rpm
     yum localinstall -y esl-erlang-R15B01-1.x86_64.rpm
    

Install Kafka And Zookeeper

  1. Install kafka and zookeeper:

     wget http://apache.rediris.es/incubator/kafka/kafka-0.7.2-incubating/kafka-0.7.2-incubating-src.tgz
     tar zxvf kafka-0.7.2-incubating-src.tgz
     pushd kafka-0.7.2-incubating-src/
     ./sbt update 
     ./sbt package
     mkdir -p /var/lib/kafka
     rsync -a * /var/lib/kafka/
     popd
    

Install Riak-CS

  1. Install s3cmd to manage riak s3

     wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/s3tools/s3cmd/1.5.0-alpha3/s3cmd-1.5.0-alpha3.tar.gz
     tar xzvf s3cmd-1.5.0-alpha3.tar.gz
     cd s3cmd-1.5.0-alpha3
     cp -r s3cmd S3 /usr/local/bin/
    
  2. Install riak, riak-cs and stanchion. Note: riak-cs-control is optional

     wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.basho.com/riak/1.3/1.3.1/rhel/6/riak-1.3.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
     wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.basho.com/riak-cs/1.3/1.3.1/rhel/6/riak-cs-1.3.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
     wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.basho.com/stanchion/1.3/1.3.1/rhel/6/stanchion-1.3.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
     wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.basho.com/riak-cs-control/1.0/1.0.0/rhel/6/riak-cs-control-1.0.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
     yum localinstall -y riak-*.rpm stanchion-*.rpm
    

Install Druid

  1. Clone the git repository for druid, checkout a “stable” tag and build

     git clone https://github.com/metamx/druid.git druid
     pushd druid
     git checkout druid-0.4.12
     export LANGUAGE=C
     export LC_MESSAGE=C
     export LC_ALL=C
     export LANG=en_US
     ./build.sh
     mkdir -p /var/lib/druid/app
     cp ./services/target/druid-services-*-selfcontained.jar /var/lib/druid/app
     ln -s /var/lib/druid/app/druid-services-*-selfcontained.jar /var/lib/druid/app/druid-services.jar
     popd
    

Configure stuff

  1. Add this line to /etc/hosts

     echo "127.0.0.1   s3.amazonaws.com bucket.s3.amazonaws.com `hostname`" >> /etc/hosts
    

    NOTE: the bucket name in this case is “bucket”, but you might need to update it to your bucket name if you want to use a different bucket name.

  2. Download and extract run scripts and configuration files:

     wget http://static.druid.io/artifacts/scripts/druid_scripts_nebrera.tar /
     pushd /
     tar xvf ~/druid_scripts_nebrera.tar
     popd
    
  3. Start Riak in order to create a user:

     /etc/init.d/riak start 
     /etc/init.d/riak-cs start
     /etc/init.d/stanchion start
    

    You can check riak status using:

     riak-admin member-status
    

    You should expect results like

     Attempting to restart script through sudo -H -u riak
     ================================= Membership ==================================
     Status     Ring    Pending    Node
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     valid     100.0%      --      'riak@127.0.0.1'
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Valid:1 / Leaving:0 / Exiting:0 / Joining:0 / Down:0
    
  4. Create riak-cs user and yoink out credentials.

     curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8088/riak-cs/user --data '{"email":"example@domain.com", "name":"admin"}' >> /tmp/riak_user.json
     export RIAK_KEY_ID=`sed 's/^.*"key_id":"//' /tmp/riak_user.json | cut -d '"' -f 1`
     export RIAK_KEY_SECRET=`sed 's/^.*"key_secret":"//' /tmp/riak_user.json | cut -d '"' -f 1`
     sed -i "s/<%=[ ]*@key_id[ ]*%>/${RIAK_KEY_ID}/" /etc/riak-cs/app.config /etc/riak-cs-control/app.config /etc/stanchion/app.config /etc/druid/config.sh /etc/druid/base.properties /root/.s3cfg
     sed -i "s/<%=[ ]*@key_secret[ ]*%>/${RIAK_KEY_SECRET}/" /etc/riak-cs/app.config /etc/riak-cs-control/app.config /etc/stanchion/app.config /etc/druid/config.sh /etc/druid/base.properties /root/.s3cfg
    

    This will store the result of creating the user into /tmp/riak_user.json. You can look at it if you are interested. It will look something like this

     {"email":"example@domain.com",
      "display_name":"example",
      "name":"admin",
      "key_id":"DOXKZYR_QM2S-7HSKAEU",
      "key_secret":"GtvVJow068RM-_viHIYR9DWMAXsFcL1SmjuNfA==",
      "id":"4c5b5468c180f3efafd531b6cd8e2bb24371d99640aad5ced5fbbc0604fc473d",
      "status":"enabled"} 
    
  5. Stop riak-cs:

     /etc/init.d/riak-cs stop
     /etc/init.d/stanchion stop
     /etc/init.d/riak stop
    
  6. Disable anonymous user creation

     sed 's/{[ ]*anonymous_user_creation[ ]*,[ ]*true[ ]*}/{anonymous_user_creation, false}/' /etc/riak-cs/app.config |grep anonymous_user_creation
    
  7. Restart riak-cs services:

     /etc/init.d/riak start
     /etc/init.d/riak-cs start
     /etc/init.d/stanchion start
    
  8. Create your bucket. The example name and in config files is “bucket”

     s3cmd mb s3://bucket
    

    You can verify that the bucket is created with:

     s3cmd ls
    
  9. Start MySQL server

     service mysqld start
     chkconfig mysqld on
     /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'riakdruid'
    

    NOTE: If you don't like “riakdruid” as your password, feel free to change it around. NOTE: If you have used root user to connect to database. It should be changed by other user but I have used this one to simplify it

  10. Start zookeeper and kafka

     /etc/init.d/zookeeper start
     /etc/init.d/kafka start
    
  11. Start druid

     /etc/init.d/druid_master start
     /etc/init.d/druid_realtime start
     /etc/init.d/druid_broker start
     /etc/init.d/druid_compute start
