Overview of this book

<p>Apache Mesos is a cluster manager that provides efficient resource isolation and sharing across distributed applications, or frameworks. It allows developers to concurrently run the likes of Hadoop, Spark, Storm, and other applications on a dynamically shared pool of nodes. With Mesos, you have the power to manage a wide range of resources in a multi-tenant environment.</p> <p>Starting with the basics, this book will give you an insight into all the features that Mesos has to offer. You will first learn how to set up Mesos in various environments from data centers to the cloud. You will then learn how to implement self-managed Platform as a Service environment with Mesos using various service schedulers, such as Chronos, Aurora, and Marathon. You will then delve into the depths of Mesos fundamentals and learn how to build distributed applications using Mesos primitives.</p> <p>Finally, you will round things off by covering the operational aspects of Mesos including logging, monitoring, high availability, and recovery.</p>

Spark Standalone mode


Spark standalone mode uses a simple built-in cluster manager. The Spark standalone mode cluster manager can also be run on a single machine, and it is great way to try out Spark (http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/spark-standalone.html). In Standalone mode, Spark requires Java and Git installed on the system. Let's install the dependencies. On Ubuntu, the following command will install both Java and Git:

ubuntu@master:~$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk git

The following are the steps to install Spark in standalone mode:

  1. Download the latest Spark tarball from http://spark.apache.org/downloads.html. Spark packages are prebuilt compatible with a specific version of Hadoop and Mesos. At the time of writing, the latest version is 1.2, which is compatible with 0.18 version of Mesos and many versions of Hadoop, including the latest version, 2.4.

  2. Extract the downloaded tar file and go to the following directory:

    ubuntu@master:~$ tar –xzf spark-*.tar.gz
    ubuntu@master:~$ cd...
