This document will guide you through the cluster mode installation process.
This document will guide you through the installation process. The ARGO components covered include the following items:
For a production scale environment we propose three VMs and a Hadoop cluster (distributed version). The proposed setup in this case is the following:
Node 1 (Consumer service, Connectors and Compute Engine/Hadoop client)
Node 2 (Datastore and Web API services)
Node 3 (Web UI service)
For this configuration of resources one is stronly encouraged to use the Ansible based deployment roles available on github. The documentation steps provided therein are sufficient in case you choose to use the provided Ansible roles for deployment.
If you are not familiar with Ansible or would rather follow the step-by-step guide continue reading.
tcp connections to ports 443 (https) and 27017 (mongod).tcp connections to ports 80 (http) and 443 (https).On all nodes (Node 1, Node 2 and Node 3) create a file named /etc/yum.repos.d/EGI-trustanchors.repo and place within it the following contents:
[EGI-trustanchors]
name=EGI-trustanchors
baseurl=http://repository.egi.eu/sw/production/cas/1/current/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://repository.egi.eu/sw/production/cas/1/GPG-KEY-EUGridPMA-RPM-3
On Node 1 and Node 2 install (as root user) the epel-release package via yum:
# yum install epel-release
This package will configure on the host the necessary repository files under /etc/yum.repos.d.
On both Node 1 and Node 2 create a new file with filename /etc/yum.repos.d/argo.repo and place within it the following contents:
[argo-prod]
name=ARGO Product Repository
baseurl=http://rpm.hellasgrid.gr/mash/centos6-arstats/$basearch
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0
[argo-devel]
name=ARstats Development Repository
baseurl=http://rpm.hellasgrid.gr/mash/centos6-arstats-devel/$basearch
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0
On Node 1 (Sync components, Consumer service and Compute Engine/Hadoop client) you will also need to install the cloudera repository for Hadoop components (clients) to be installed. Create a new file named /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudera-cdh5.repo place within it the following contents:
[cloudera-cdh5]
# Packages for Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop, Version 5, on RedHat or CentOS 6 x86_64
name=Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop, Version 5
baseurl=http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/cdh/5/
gpgkey = http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/cdh/RPM-GPG-KEY-cloudera
gpgcheck = 1
enabled = 1
On Node 2 (API and Web UI services) you will need to add the MongoDB repository. The name of the file should be /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb_3.repo and its contents should be:
[mongodb-org-3.0]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=http://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/3.0/x86_64/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
Install the ca-policy-egi-core meta-rpm with the following command:
# yum install ca-policy-egi-core
Place the key/certificate pair under the /etc/grid-security/ folder with the following names and permissions:
/etc/grid-security/hostkey.pem and permissions: 0400/etc/grid-security/hostcert.pem and permissions: 0644Next, as root user install the following packages via yum and pip:
# yum install python-pip
# pip install --upgrade pymongo
# yum install avro --enablerepo=argo-prod
# yum install argo-egi-consumer --enablerepo=argo-prod
# yum install argo-egi-connectors --enablerepo=argo-prod
The argo-egi-connectors package installs components needed for fetching complimentary to the Compute Engine data from sources of truth (i.e. GOCDB service, POEM service etc). By default the connectors are configured to fetch this information on a daily basis. For configuration details of the connectors visit this page.
The argo-egi-consumer service can be configured to connect to one or more message brokers. By default the configuration will connect to mq.afroditi.hellasgrid.gr and mq.cro-ngi.hr.
This configuration (having the consumer connected to two or more broker instances) is suggested as it will allow the consumer service to cycle to the next broker in the case the one it is connected to fails for any reason. For further configuration details of the consumer service please refer here.
After applying the necessary configurations start the consumer service and add it to appropriate run levels, so that it starts upon the next reboot.
# service argo-egi-consumer start
# chkconfig argo-egi-consumer on
As the root user execute the following command to install the compute engine:
# yum install ar-compute --enablerepo=argo-prod
Edit the /etc/ar-compute-engine.conf configuration file and
mongo_host variable to the IP of Node 2. Note that if you have an internal network available among the nodes it should be preffered to use the internal IP. mode variable to cluster like so: mode=cluster
prefilter_clean and sync_clean variables to either true of false
All configuration options are described in detail here
Under the folder /etc/cron.d/ place two cronjobs that will handle hourly and daily calculations.
for the hourly caclulations edit /etc/cron.d/ar_job_cycle_hourly and place the following contents:
55 * * * * root /usr/libexec/ar-compute/standalone/job_cycle.py -d $(/bin/date –utc +\%Y-\%m-\%d)
for the daily caclulations edit /etc/cron.d/ar_job_cycle_daily and place the following contents:
0 0 * * * root /usr/libexec/ar-compute/standalone/job_cycle.py -d $(/bin/date –utc –date ‘-1 day’ +\%Y-\%m-\%d)
Configure the Node as a MapReduce and HDFS Hadoop client.
Place the key/certificate pair under the following folders with the following names and permissions:
/etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key and permissions: 0400/etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt and permissions: 0644Install MongoDB with the following command:
# yum install mongodb-org-server-3.0.7 mongodb-org-3.0.7
Edit the /etc/mongod.conf file and set the value of the variable bindIp either to 0.0.0.0 or to a specific interface (i.e. use the internal NIC in case you have an internal subnet available among the nodes in your setup).
To start and enable the MongoDB service use the following two commands:
# service mongod start
# chkconfig mongod on
Install the ARGO web API service with the following command:
# yum install argo-web-api --enablerepo=argo-prod
The Web API has a single configuration file: /etc/argo-web-api.conf. Make sure that in the [server] section the variables cert and key point to the public x509 certificate and private rsa key files respectively. For further configuration options visit this page.
Finally, start the service using the following command:
# start argo-web-api
Installation and configuration details for the ARGO Web UI services are available here.
