layout: page title: Run Hello-samza in Multi-node YARN

You must successfully run the hello-samza project in a single-node YARN by following the hello-samza tutorial. Now it's time to run the Samza job in a “real” YARN grid (with more than one node).

Set Up Multi-node YARN

If you already have a multi-node YARN cluster (such as CDH5 cluster), you can skip this set-up section.

Basic YARN Setting

1. Download YARN 2.6 to /tmp and untar it.

{% highlight bash %} cd /tmp tar -xvf hadoop-2.6.1.tar.gz cd hadoop-2.6.1 {% endhighlight %}

2. Set up environment variables.

{% highlight bash %} export HADOOP_YARN_HOME=$(pwd) mkdir conf export HADOOP_CONF_DIR=$HADOOP_YARN_HOME/conf {% endhighlight %}

3. Configure YARN setting file.

{% highlight bash %} cp ./etc/hadoop/yarn-site.xml conf vi conf/yarn-site.xml {% endhighlight %}

Add the following property to yarn-site.xml:

{% highlight xml %} yarn.resourcemanager.hostname yourHostname {% endhighlight %}

Download and add capacity-schedule.xml.

curl http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/hadoop/common/trunk/hadoop-yarn-project/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-server/hadoop-yarn-server-tests/src/test/resources/capacity-scheduler.xml?view=co > conf/capacity-scheduler.xml

Set Up Http Filesystem for YARN

The goal of these steps is to configure YARN to read http filesystem because we will use Http server to deploy Samza job package. If you want to use HDFS to deploy Samza job package, you can skip step 4~6 and follow Deploying a Samza Job from HDFS

4. Download Scala package and untar it.

{% highlight bash %} cd /tmp curl http://www.scala-lang.org/files/archive/scala-2.11.8.tgz > scala-2.11.8.tgz tar -xvf scala-2.11.8.tgz {% endhighlight %}

5. Add Scala, its log jars, and Samza's HttpFileSystem implementation.

{% highlight bash %} cp /tmp/scala-2.11.8/lib/scala-compiler.jar $HADOOP_YARN_HOME/share/hadoop/hdfs/lib cp /tmp/scala-2.11.8/lib/scala-library.jar $HADOOP_YARN_HOME/share/hadoop/hdfs/lib curl -L http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/clapper/grizzled-slf4j_2.10/1.0.1/grizzled-slf4j_2.10-1.0.1.jar > $HADOOP_YARN_HOME/share/hadoop/hdfs/lib/grizzled-slf4j_2.10-1.0.1.jar curl -L http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/apache/samza/samza-yarn_2.11/0.12.0/samza-yarn_2.11-0.12.0.jar > $HADOOP_YARN_HOME/share/hadoop/hdfs/lib/samza-yarn_2.11-0.12.0.jar curl -L http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/apache/samza/samza-core_2.11/0.12.0/samza-core_2.11-0.12.0.jar > $HADOOP_YARN_HOME/share/hadoop/hdfs/lib/samza-core_2.11-0.12.0.jar {% endhighlight %}

6. Add http configuration in core-site.xml (create the core-site.xml file and add content).

{% highlight xml %} vi $HADOOP_YARN_HOME/conf/core-site.xml {% endhighlight %}

Add the following code:

{% highlight xml %}

Distribute Hadoop File to Slaves

7. Basically, you copy the hadoop file in your host machine to slave machines. (172.21.100.35, in my case):

{% highlight bash %} scp -r . 172.21.100.35:/tmp/hadoop-2.6.1 echo 172.21.100.35 > conf/slaves sbin/start-yarn.sh {% endhighlight %}

  • If you get “172.21.100.35: Error: JAVA_HOME is not set and could not be found.”, you'll need to add a conf/hadoop-env.sh file to the machine with the failure (172.21.100.35, in this case), which has “export JAVA_HOME=/export/apps/jdk/JDK-1_8_0_45” (or wherever your JAVA_HOME actually is).

8. Validate that your nodes are up by visiting http://yourHostname:8088/cluster/nodes.

Deploy Samza Job

Some of the following steps are exactlly identical to what you have seen in hello-samza. You may skip them if you have already done so.

1. Download Samza and publish it to Maven local repository.

{% highlight bash %} cd /tmp git clone http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/samza.git cd samza ./gradlew clean publishToMavenLocal cd .. {% endhighlight %}

2. Download hello-samza project and change the job properties file.

{% highlight bash %} git clone git://github.com/linkedin/hello-samza.git cd hello-samza vi src/main/config/wikipedia-feed.properties {% endhighlight %}

Change the yarn.package.path property to be:

{% highlight jproperties %} yarn.package.path=http://yourHostname:8000/target/hello-samza-1.1.0-dist.tar.gz {% endhighlight %}

3. Compile hello-samza.

{% highlight bash %} mvn clean package mkdir -p deploy/samza tar -xvf ./target/hello-samza-1.1.0-dist.tar.gz -C deploy/samza {% endhighlight %}

4. Deploy Samza job package to Http server..

Open a new terminal, and run:

{% highlight bash %} cd /tmp/hello-samza && python -m SimpleHTTPServer {% endhighlight %}

Go back to the original terminal (not the one running the HTTP server):

{% highlight bash %} deploy/samza/bin/run-job.sh --config-factory=org.apache.samza.config.factories.PropertiesConfigFactory --config-path=file://$PWD/deploy/samza/config/wikipedia-feed.properties {% endhighlight %}

Go to http://yourHostname:8088 and find the wikipedia-feed job. Click on the ApplicationMaster link to see that it's running.

Congratulations! You now run the Samza job in a “real” YARN grid!
