Apache Hadoop 2.0

Summary

Bring Apache Hadoop, the hottest open source big data platform, to Fedora, the hottest open source distribution. Fedora should be the best distribution for using Apache Hadoop.

This and other big data activities can be found going on in the Big Data SIG.

Detailed Description

Apache Hadoop is a widely used, increasingly complete big data platform, with a strong open source community and growing ecosystem. The goal is to package and integrate the core of the Hadoop ecosystem for Fedora, allowing for immediate use and creating a base for the rest of the ecosystem.


Benefit to Fedora

The Apache Hadoop software will be packaged and integrated with Fedora. The core of the Hadoop ecosystem will be available with Fedora and provide a base for additional packages.


Scope

  • Package the Apache Hadoop 2.0.2 software
  • Package all dependencies needed for Apache Hadoop 2.0.2
  • Skip package dependencies required for unit testing, record them in a dependency backlog for later cleanup

Approach

We are taking an iterative, depth-first approach to packaging. We do not have all the dependencies mapped out ahead of time. Dependencies are being tabulated into two groups:

  1. missing - the dependency being requested from a hadoop-common pom has not yet been packaged, reviewed or generated into fedora repos
  2. broken - the dependency requested is out of date with current fedora versions, and patches must be developed for inclusion in a hadoop rpm build that address any build, API or source code deltas

Note that a dependency may show up in both of these tables.

Anyone who wants to help should find an available dependency below, edit the table changing the state to Active and packager to yourself.

While packaging a dependency, test dependencies can be skipped. Testing will be done via integration testing periodically during packaging and then after packaging completes. Test dependencies that are skipped must be added to the Skipped dependencies table below.

If you are lucky enough to pick a dependency that itself has unpackaged dependencies, identify the sub-dependencies and add them to the bottom of the Dependencies table below, change your current dependency to Blocked and repeat.

If your dependency is already packaged but the version is incompatible, contact the package owner and resolve the incompatibility in a mutually satisfactory way. For instance:

  • If the version available in Fedora is older, explore updating the package. If that is not possible, explore creating a package that includes a version in its name, e.g. pkgnameXY. Ultimately, the most recent version in Fedora should have the name pkgname while older versions have pkgnameXY. It may take a full Fedora release to rationalize package names. Make a note in the Dependencies table.
  • If the version you need is older than the packaged version, consider creating a patch to use the newer version. If a patch is not viable, proceed by packaging the dependency with a version in its name, e.g. pkgnameXY. Make a note in the Dependencies table.

Packager Resources

Packager tips

mvn-rpmbuild utility will ONLY resolve from system repo
  • mvn-local will resolve from system repo first then fallback to maven if unresolved
  • can be used to find the delta between system repo packages available and missing dependencies that can be viewed in the .m2 local maven repo (find *.jar)
  • -Dmaven.local.debug=true
    • reveals how JPP lookups are executing per dependency -> useful for finding gId,aId mismatches
  • -Dmaven.test.skip=true
    • tells maven to skip test compilation

An alternative to gmaven:

  • apply a patch with the following content where required
  • test support is not guaranteed, should not work.

Repositories

An RPM repository of dependencies already packaged and in, or heading towards, review state can be found here:

http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/rrati/hadoop/

Currently, only Fedora 18 x86_64 packages are available


Source repositories:

https://github.com/fedora-bigdata/hadoop-common Fork of Apache Hadoop for changes required to support compilation on Fedora

https://github.com/fedora-bigdata/hadoop-rpm Spec and supporting files for generating an RPM for Fedora


Workflow

The Apache Hadoop project uses a number of old, or obsolete, dependencies in their build and test environment, and this presents a challenge for including Apache Hadoop into Fedora. Any changes to the Apache Hadoop source or build files that is required in order to use a newer version of a dependency is a candidate for creating a patch to send upstream. Any changes that are required to conform to Fedora's packaging guidelines or deal with a package naming issue should be contained to the hadoop spec file.

The intention of this process is to isolate changes to a single dependency so patches can be created that can be consumed upstream. It is important that changes to the source be isolated to 1 dependency and the changes must be self-contained. A dependency is not necessarily a single jar file. Changes to a dependency should entail everything needed to use the jar files from a later release of the dependency.


Dependency Branches

All code/build changes to Apache Hadoop should be performed on a branch in the hadoop-common repo that should be based off the

branch-2.0.2-alpha

branch and should following this naming convention:

fedora-patch-<dependency>

Where <dependency> is the name of the dependency being worked on. Changes to this branch should ONLY relate to the dependency being worked on. Do not include the dependency version in the branch name. These branches will be updated as needed because of Fedora or Hadoop updates until they are accepted upstream by Apache Hadoop. Not having the dependency version allows the branch to move from version 1->2->3 without confusion if it is required before accepted upstream.

Integration Branch

An integration branch should be created in the hadoop-common repository that corresponds with the release version being packaged using the following naming convention:

fedora-<ver>-integration

where <ver> is the hadoop version being packaged. All branches containing changes that have not yet been accepted upstream should be merged to the integration branch and the result should pass the build and all tests. Once this is complete a patch should be generated and pushed to the hadoop-rpm repository.


Testing Changes

In order for a set of changes to be considered complete, it must be able to compile and pass all tests in 2 separate ways:

  1. On Fedora using Fedora packages (mvn-rpmbuild)
  2. On Fedora using maven retrieved packages (mvn)

The changes should compile and the build process should run through all tests without error. To verify a set of changes, use the following options:

<mvn-build> -Pnative install

Where <mvn-build> is either mvn-rpmbuild or mvn.

How To Test

  1. TODO: NEEDS MORE DEFINITION
  2. yum install X Y Z across one or more nodes
  3. Setup a simple cluster by following TBD
  4. Run http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/stable/gridmix.html


User Experience

For users who are interested in running Apache Hadoop on Fedora, they will find it available from Fedora Project yum repositories.

Dependencies

No other packages currently depend on Apache Hadoop.

Completion of this feature will involve packaging numerous dependencies, see the Dependencies table. Some of the dependencies are already being packaged by others in the Fedora community. Where dependency overlap is found, a negotaition must occur to ensure a satisfactory version and package is available to all parties.

TODO: Is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Hypertable ?


Contingency Plan

With no packages depending on Apache Hadoop, none is necessary. The biggest risk is not completing packages for all dependencies. In that case, the feature can be removed from the release notes. The packaged dependencies should remain in the distribution. The feature can be pushed to the next Fedora release.
