<h2 class="h3">Overview</h2>
<div class="section">
<p>Hadoop On Demand (HOD) is a system for provisioning and
managing independent Hadoop Map/Reduce and Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)
instances on a shared cluster 
of nodes. HOD is a tool that makes it easy for administrators and users to 
quickly setup and use Hadoop. HOD is also a very useful tool for Hadoop developers 
and testers who need to share a physical cluster for testing their own Hadoop 
versions.
</p>
<p>HOD relies on a resource manager (RM) for allocation of nodes that it can use for
running Hadoop instances. At present it runs with the <a href="http://www.clusterresources.com/pages/products/torque-resource-manager.php">Torque
resource manager</a>.
</p>
<p>
The basic system architecture of HOD includes these components:</p>
<ul>
  
<li>A Resource manager (possibly together with a scheduler)</li>
  
<li>Various HOD components</li>
  
<li>Hadoop Map/Reduce and HDFS daemons</li>

</ul>
<p>
HOD provisions and maintains Hadoop Map/Reduce and, optionally, HDFS instances 
through interaction with the above components on a given cluster of nodes. A cluster of
nodes can be thought of as comprising two sets of nodes:</p>
<ul>
  
<li>Submit nodes: Users use the HOD client on these nodes to allocate clusters, and then
use the Hadoop client to submit Hadoop jobs. </li>
  
<li>Compute nodes: Using the resource manager, HOD components are run on these nodes to 
provision the Hadoop daemons. After that Hadoop jobs run on them.</li>

</ul>
<p>
Here is a brief description of the sequence of operations in allocating a cluster and
running jobs on them.
</p>
<ul>
  
<li>The user uses the HOD client on the Submit node to allocate a desired number of
cluster nodes and to provision Hadoop on them.</li>
  
<li>The HOD client uses a resource manager interface (qsub, in Torque) to submit a HOD
process, called the RingMaster, as a Resource Manager job, to request the user's desired number 
of nodes. This job is submitted to the central server of the resource manager (pbs_server, in Torque).</li>
  
<li>On the compute nodes, the resource manager slave daemons (pbs_moms in Torque) accept
and run jobs that they are assigned by the central server (pbs_server in Torque). The RingMaster 
process is started on one of the compute nodes (mother superior, in Torque).</li>
  
<li>The RingMaster then uses another resource manager interface (pbsdsh, in Torque) to run
the second HOD component, HodRing, as distributed tasks on each of the compute
nodes allocated.</li>
  
<li>The HodRings, after initializing, communicate with the RingMaster to get Hadoop commands, 
and run them accordingly. Once the Hadoop commands are started, they register with the RingMaster,
giving information about the daemons.</li>
  
<li>All the configuration files needed for Hadoop instances are generated by HOD itself, 
some obtained from options given by user in its own configuration file.</li>
  
<li>The HOD client keeps communicating with the RingMaster to find out the location of the 
JobTracker and HDFS daemons.</li>

</ul>
<p>This guide shows you how to get started using HOD, reviews various HOD features and command line options, and provides detailed troubleshooting help.</p>
</div>


<a name="N10056"></a><a name="Pre-requisites"></a>
<h2 class="h3">Pre-requisites</h2>
<div class="section">
<p>To use HOD, your system should include the following hardware and software
components.</p>
<p>Operating System: HOD is currently tested on RHEL4.<br>
Nodes : HOD requires a minimum of three nodes configured through a resource manager.<br>
</p>
<p> Software </p>
<p>The following components must be installed on ALL nodes before using HOD:</p>
<ul>
 
<li>
<a href="http://www.clusterresources.com/pages/products/torque-resource-manager.php">Torque: Resource manager</a>
</li>
 
<li>
<a href="http://www.python.org">Python</a> : HOD requires version 2.5.1 of Python.</li>

</ul>
<p>The following components are optional and can be installed to obtain better
functionality from HOD:</p>
<ul>
 
<li>
<a href="http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/">Twisted Python</a>: This can be
  used for improving the scalability of HOD. If this module is detected to be
  installed, HOD uses it, else it falls back to default modules.</li>
 
<li>
<a href="http://hadoop.apache.org/core/">Hadoop</a>: HOD can automatically
 distribute Hadoop to all nodes in the cluster. However, it can also use a
 pre-installed version of Hadoop, if it is available on all nodes in the cluster.
  HOD currently supports Hadoop 0.15 and above.</li>

</ul>
<p>NOTE: HOD configuration requires the location of installs of these
components to be the same on all nodes in the cluster. It will also
make the configuration simpler to have the same location on the submit
nodes.
</p>
</div>


<a name="N1008F"></a><a name="Resource+Manager"></a>
<h2 class="h3">Resource Manager</h2>
<div class="section">
<p>  Currently HOD works with the Torque resource manager, which it uses for its node
  allocation and job submission. Torque is an open source resource manager from
  <a href="http://www.clusterresources.com">Cluster Resources</a>, a community effort
  based on the PBS project. It provides control over batch jobs and distributed compute nodes. Torque is
  freely available for download from <a href="http://www.clusterresources.com/downloads/torque/">here</a>.
  </p>
<p>  All documentation related to torque can be seen under
  the section TORQUE Resource Manager <a href="http://www.clusterresources.com/pages/resources/documentation.php">here</a>. You can
  get wiki documentation from <a href="http://www.clusterresources.com/wiki/doku.php?id=torque:torque_wiki">here</a>.
  Users may wish to subscribe to TORQUE&rsquo;s mailing list or view the archive for questions,
  comments <a href="http://www.clusterresources.com/pages/resources/mailing-lists.php">here</a>.
</p>
<p>To use HOD with Torque:</p>
<ul>
 
<li>Install Torque components: pbs_server on one node (head node), pbs_mom on all
  compute nodes, and PBS client tools on all compute nodes and submit
  nodes. Perform at least a basic configuration so that the Torque system is up and
  running, that is, pbs_server knows which machines to talk to. Look <a href="http://www.clusterresources.com/wiki/doku.php?id=torque:1.2_basic_configuration">here</a>
  for basic configuration.

  For advanced configuration, see <a href="http://www.clusterresources.com/wiki/doku.php?id=torque:1.3_advanced_configuration">here</a>
</li>
 
<li>Create a queue for submitting jobs on the pbs_server. The name of the queue is the
  same as the HOD configuration parameter, resource-manager.queue. The HOD client uses this queue to
  submit the RingMaster process as a Torque job.</li>
 
<li>Specify a cluster name as a property for all nodes in the cluster.
  This can be done by using the qmgr command. For example:
  <span class="codefrag">qmgr -c "set node node properties=cluster-name"</span>. The name of the cluster is the same as
  the HOD configuration parameter, hod.cluster. </li>
 
<li>Make sure that jobs can be submitted to the nodes. This can be done by
  using the qsub command. For example:
  <span class="codefrag">echo "sleep 30" | qsub -l nodes=3</span>
</li>

</ul>
</div>


<a name="N100CE"></a><a name="Installing+HOD"></a>
<h2 class="h3">Installing HOD</h2>
<div class="section">
<p>Once the resource manager is set up, you can obtain and
install HOD.</p>
<ul>
 
<li>If you are getting HOD from the Hadoop tarball, it is available under the 
  'contrib' section of Hadoop, under the root  directory 'hod'.</li>
 
<li>If you are building from source, you can run ant tar from the Hadoop root
  directory to generate the Hadoop tarball, and then get HOD from there,
  as described above.</li>
 
<li>Distribute the files under this directory to all the nodes in the
  cluster. Note that the location where the files are copied should be
  the same on all the nodes.</li>
  
<li>Note that compiling hadoop would build HOD with appropriate permissions 
  set on all the required script files in HOD.</li>

</ul>
</div>


<a name="N100E7"></a><a name="Configuring+HOD"></a>
<h2 class="h3">Configuring HOD</h2>
<div class="section">
<p>You can configure HOD once it is installed. The minimal configuration needed
to run HOD is described below. More advanced configuration options are discussed
in the HOD Configuration Guide.</p>
<a name="N100F0"></a><a name="Minimal+Configuration"></a>
<h3 class="h4">Minimal Configuration</h3>
<p>To get started using HOD, the following minimal configuration is
  required:</p>
<ul>
 
<li>On the node from where you want to run HOD, edit the file hodrc
  located in the &lt;install dir&gt;/conf directory. This file
  contains the minimal set of values required to run hod.</li>
 
<li>

<p>Specify values suitable to your environment for the following
  variables defined in the configuration file. Note that some of these
  variables are defined at more than one place in the file.</p>

  
<ul>
   
<li>${JAVA_HOME}: Location of Java for Hadoop. Hadoop supports Sun JDK
    1.6.x and above.</li>
   
<li>${CLUSTER_NAME}: Name of the cluster which is specified in the
    'node property' as mentioned in resource manager configuration.</li>
   
<li>${HADOOP_HOME}: Location of Hadoop installation on the compute and
    submit nodes.</li>
   
<li>${RM_QUEUE}: Queue configured for submitting jobs in the resource
    manager configuration.</li>
   
<li>${RM_HOME}: Location of the resource manager installation on the
    compute and submit nodes.</li>
    
</ul>

</li>


<li>

<p>The following environment variables may need to be set depending on
  your environment. These variables must be defined where you run the
  HOD client and must also be specified in the HOD configuration file as the
  value of the key resource_manager.env-vars. Multiple variables can be
  specified as a comma separated list of key=value pairs.</p>

  
<ul>
   
<li>HOD_PYTHON_HOME: If you install python to a non-default location

<h3 class="h4">logcondense.py - Manage Log Files</h3>
<p>As mentioned in the 
         <a href="hod_user_guide.html#Collecting+and+Viewing+Hadoop+Logs">HOD User Guide</a>,
         HOD can be configured to upload
         Hadoop logs to a statically configured HDFS. Over time, the number of logs uploaded
         to HDFS could increase. logcondense.py is a tool that helps
         administrators to remove log files uploaded to HDFS. </p>
<a name="N10157"></a><a name="Running+logcondense.py"></a>
<h4>Running logcondense.py</h4>
<p>logcondense.py is available under hod_install_location/support folder. You can either
        run it using python, for example, <em>python logcondense.py</em>, or give execute permissions 
        to the file, and directly run it as <em>logcondense.py</em>. logcondense.py needs to be 
        run by a user who has sufficient permissions to remove files from locations where log 
        files are uploaded in the HDFS, if permissions are enabled. For example as mentioned in the
        <a href="hod_config_guide.html#3.7+hodring+options">HOD Configuration Guide</a>, the logs could
        be configured to come under the user's home directory in HDFS. In that case, the user
        running logcondense.py should have super user privileges to remove the files from under
        all user home directories.</p>
<a name="N1016B"></a><a name="Command+Line+Options+for+logcondense.py"></a>
<h4>Command Line Options for logcondense.py</h4>
<p>The following command line options are supported for logcondense.py.</p>

              dynamic HDFS installations 
              are being provisioned by HOD, and the static HDFS installation is being used only to collect

<p>So, for example, to delete all log files older than 7 days using a hadoop-site.xml stored in
        ~/hadoop-conf, using the hadoop installation under ~/hadoop-0.17.0, you could say:</p>
<p>
<em>python logcondense.py -p ~/hadoop-0.17.0/bin/hadoop -d 7 -c ~/hadoop-conf -l /user</em>

<a name="N1020E"></a><a name="checklimits.sh+-+Monitor+Resource+Limits"></a>
<h3 class="h4">checklimits.sh - Monitor Resource Limits</h3>
<p>checklimits.sh is a HOD tool specific to the Torque/Maui environment
      (<a href="http://www.clusterresources.com/pages/products/maui-cluster-scheduler.php">Maui Cluster Scheduler</a> is an open source job
      scheduler for clusters and supercomputers, from clusterresources). The
      checklimits.sh script
      updates the torque comment field when newly submitted job(s) violate or
      exceed
      over user limits set up in Maui scheduler. It uses qstat, does one pass
      over the torque job-list to determine queued or unfinished jobs, runs Maui
      tool checkjob on each job to see if user limits are violated and then
      runs torque's qalter utility to update job attribute 'comment'. Currently
      it updates the comment as <em>User-limits exceeded. Requested:([0-9]*)
      Used:([0-9]*) MaxLimit:([0-9]*)</em> for those jobs that violate limits.
      This comment field is then used by HOD to behave accordingly depending on
      the type of violation.</p>
<a name="N1021E"></a><a name="Running+checklimits.sh"></a>
<h4>Running checklimits.sh</h4>
<p>checklimits.sh is available under the hod_install_location/support
        folder. This shell script can be run directly as <em>sh
        checklimits.sh </em>or as <em>./checklimits.sh</em> after enabling
        execute permissions. Torque and Maui binaries should be available
        on the machine where the tool is run and should be in the path
        of the shell script process. To update the
        comment field of jobs from different users, this tool must be run with
        torque administrative privileges. This tool must be run repeatedly
        after specific intervals of time to frequently update jobs violating
        constraints, for example via cron. Please note that the resource manager
        and scheduler commands used in this script can be expensive and so
        it is better not to run this inside a tight loop without sleeping.</p>
<a name="N1022F"></a><a name="verify-account+-+Script+to+verify+an+account+under+which+%0A+++++++++++++jobs+are+submitted"></a>
<h3 class="h4">verify-account - Script to verify an account under which 
             jobs are submitted</h3>
<p>Production systems use accounting packages to charge users for using
      shared compute resources. HOD supports a parameter 
      <em>resource_manager.pbs-account</em> to allow users to identify the
      account under which they would like to submit jobs. It may be necessary
      to verify that this account is a valid one configured in an accounting
      system. The <em>hod-install-dir/bin/verify-account</em> script 
      provides a mechanism to plug-in a custom script that can do this
      verification.</p>
<a name="N1023E"></a><a name="Integrating+the+verify-account+script+with+HOD"></a>
<h4>Integrating the verify-account script with HOD</h4>
<p>HOD runs the <em>verify-account</em> script passing in the
        <em>resource_manager.pbs-account</em> value as argument to the script,
        before allocating a cluster. Sites can write a script that verify this 
        account against their accounting systems. Returning a non-zero exit 
        code from this script will cause HOD to fail allocation. Also, in
        case of an error, HOD will print the output of script to the user.
        Any descriptive error message can be passed to the user from the
        script in this manner.</p>
<p>The default script that comes with the HOD installation does not
        do any validation, and returns a zero exit code.</p>
<p>If the verify-account script is not found, then HOD will treat
        that verification is disabled, and continue allocation as is.</p>
