What is Hyperdrive-trigger?

Hyperdrive-trigger is a Event based workflow manager and scheduler.

A workflow is defined via the graphical interface and consists of three parts: details, sensor and jobs:

• Details - General workflow's information (workflow name, project name and whether is workflow active)
• Sensor - Definition of workflow trigger, describes when workflow will be executed. Sensors that could be used:
  • Kafka - waits for kafka message with specific message
  • Time - time based trigger, cron-quartz expression or user friendly time recurring definition can be used
  • Recurring - workflow is triggered always when previous execution is finished
• Jobs - list of jobs. Supported job types:
  • Generic Spark Job - spark job deployed to Apache Hadoop YARN
  • Generic Shell Job - job executing a user-defined shell script

The user interface provides a visualization of running workflows with the ability to monitor and troubleshoot executions.

Tomcat configuration

The Hadoop configuration directory needs to be added as the environment variable HADOOP_CONF_DIR and it has to be added to the web application's classpath.

• The environment variable can be added in <tomcat-root>/bin/setenv.sh, e.g. HADOOP_CONF_DIR=/opt/hadoop.
• To add the Hadoop configuration directory to the application classpath, in the file <tomcat-base>/conf/catalina.properties, append to the key shared.loader the hadoop conf dir, e.g. shared.loader="/opt/hadoop".

Symbolic links on user-defined files

With Feature #700: Skip dag instance creation if no new message is available in Kafka, the application needs to access files that are defined in job templates for Hyperdrive jobs. Especially, it will need to access any files specified under reader.option.kafka to configure Kafka consumers, e.g. keystore, truststore and keytabs under the same path as the Spark job would see them.

For example, a (resolved) job template may include

• Additional files: /etc/config/keystore.jks#keystore.jks
• App arguments: reader.option.kafka.ssl.keystore.location=keystore.jks

In this case, obviously /etc/config/keystore.jks needs to exist to submit the job, but additionally, <tomcat-root-directory>/keystore.jks needs to exist such that the web application can access the file under the same path as the Spark job would, in order to be able to create a Kafka consumer using the same configuration as the Spark job. This may obviously be achieved using symbolic links.

For access to HDFS, spark.yarn.keytab and spark.yarn.principal from the application properties are used for authentication. No symbolic links are required.

Embedded Tomcat

For development purposes, hyperdrive-trigger can be executed as an application with an embedded tomcat. Please check out branch feature/embedded-tomcat-2 to use it.

To build an executable jar and execute it, use the following commands:

• Package jar: mvn clean package or without tests mvn clean package -DskipTests
• Execute it: java -jar ./target/hyperdrive-trigger-<VERSION>.jar

Access the application at

http://localhost:7123/#

For local and iterative front end development, the UI can be run using a live development server with the following commands:

• Install required packages: cd ui && npm install
• Start front end application: cd ui && ng serve or cd ui && npm start

Access the application at

http://localhost:4200/#

Docker image

From the project root directory, run the Docker build command

docker build -t {your-image-name:your-tag} .

Building Docker with Maven

The Docker image can also be built using Maven, with the [https://github.com/spotify/dockerfile-maven](Spotify Dockerfile Maven plugin).

From the project root directory, run the Maven install command with the docker profile enabled (see below):

mvn clean install \
  -D skipTests \                  # Skip unit and integration tests
  -D docker \                     # Activate "docker" profile
  -D dockerfile.repositoryUrl=my  # The name prefix of the final Docker image(s)

This will create a docker image with the name my/hyperdrive-trigger, tagged as {project_version-{commit-id} and latest e.g. my/hyperdrive-trigger:0.5.3-SNAPSHOT-6514d3f22a4dcd73a734c614db96694e7ebc6efc, and my/hyperdrive-trigger:latest

Web Application Archive

Hyperdrive-trigger can be packaged as a Web Application Archive and executed in a web server.

• Without tests: mvn clean package -DskipTests
• With unit tests: mvn clean package

To build Hyperdrive-Trigger without the hortonworks hadoop binaries, specify the property exclude-hortonworks, e.g. mvn clean package -Dexclude-hortonworks

Liquibase

The liquibase maven plugin may be used to issue liquibase commands. To use it, copy /etc/liquibase/liquibase-maven-plugin.properties.template to /etc/liquibase/liquibase-maven-plugin.properties and modify it as needed.

Then, the liquibase maven plugin can be executed, e.g.

• mvn liquibase:status to view the status
• mvn liquibase:dropAll to drop all tables, views etc.
• mvn liquibase:update to apply all pending changesets

License and formatting

• mvn apache-rat:check to verify required copyright headers
• mvn scalafmt:format -Dformat.validateOnly=true to validate scala files formatting
• mvn scalafmt:format or mvn scalafmt:format -Dformat.validateOnly=false to apply correct scala file formatting

Database maintenance

Clean job instances table

If required, old rows from the job_instance table can be moved to the archive_job_instance table, to reduce the table size of job_instance in order to speed up queries. The rows are first copied to the destination table and then deleted from the source table. Along with job instances, referenced dag_instances and events are archived in respective tables as well. Importantly, the job_parameters column of job_instance is not archived, but discarded.

The archival process can be executed with the following DB procedure

CALL archive_dag_instances(
i_to_ts => (now() - interval '3 months')::timestamp,
i_max_records => 200000,
i_chunk_size => 10000
);

This would archive all dag instances (and referenced job instances and events), which were created over 12 months ago. It is advisable to run this query while the database is in maintenance mode, but it can also be run otherwise.
