Storm EDP

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/sahara/+spec/storm-edp

This blueprint aims to implement EDP for Storm. This will require a Storm Job Type.

Problem description

Sahara needs an EDP implementation to allow the submission of Storm Jobs.

Proposed change

The implementation of the EDP engine will have 3 basic functions:

  • run_job()

  • get_job_status()

  • cancel_job(kill=False)

This methods are mapped to Storm’s: * deploy_toplogy (i.e. storm jar topology-jar-path class …) * storm list (i.e. storm list) * storm deactivate (i.e storm deactivate topology-name) * storm kill (i.e. storm kill topology-name)

The second part of this implementation is to adapt the UI to allow Storm Job submission.

Alternatives

We may be able to submit Storm jobs as Java Job but it is better for the user to have a specific Storm Job.

Data model impact

None.

REST API impact

None.

Other end user impact

None.

Deployer impact

None.

Developer impact

None.

Sahara-image-elements impact

None.

Sahara-dashboard / Horizon impact

Sahara needs to adapt its UI to allow creation of Storm Jobs. A draft was done by crobertsrh and can be found in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/112408/4

The main changes in the UI will be: * Box for the user to define the main class to be executed * Box for the user to give parameters (if applicable) * Buttons to control job execution (Start, Stop, Kill, View Status) * Since it is possible to have more than one job executing in the same topology the control can be done by job or by topology. In the second case the user will have to choose between the jobs in the topology to control.

Work Items

  • Implement Storm Job Type

  • Implement EDP engine for Storm

  • Implement Unit tests

  • Implement integration tests

Dependencies

None.

Testing

First we will implement Unit Tests that follow the example from Spark found in https://github.com/openstack/sahara/blob/master/sahara/tests/unit/service/edp/spark/test_spark.py And also implement the integration tests

Documentation Impact

The documentation needs to be updated with information about Storm EDP and also about Storm Job Type.
