Apache Mesos Cookbook

Overview of this book

Apache Mesos is open source cluster sharing and management software. Deploying and managing scalable applications in large-scale clustered environments can be difficult, but Apache Mesos makes it easier with efficient resource isolation and sharing across application frameworks. The goal of this book is to guide you through the practical implementation of the Mesos core along with a number of Mesos supported frameworks. You will begin by installing Mesos and then learn how to configure clusters and maintain them. You will also see how to deploy a cluster in a production environment with high availability using Zookeeper. Next, you will get to grips with using Mesos, Marathon, and Docker to build and deploy a PaaS. You will see how to schedule jobs with Chronos. We’ll demonstrate how to integrate Mesos with big data frameworks such as Spark, Hadoop, and Storm. Practical solutions backed with clear examples will also show you how to deploy elastic big data jobs. You will find out how to deploy a scalable continuous integration and delivery system on Mesos with Jenkins. Finally, you will configure and deploy a highly scalable distributed search engine with ElasticSearch. Throughout the course of this book, you will get to know tips and tricks along with best practices to follow when working with Mesos.

Preface

State persistence


In this recipe, we will learn how to persist framework state between restarts.

How to do it...

Every time we restart our framework, it starts from scratch, losing all information about the tasks it's scheduled. After the framework goes down, Mesos kills all its tasks. This behavior is not acceptable when we want to upgrade the framework without restarting its tasks. To change this, we must do two things: tell Mesos to keep tasks after framework communication fails, and keep framework state between restarts.

In the main() function, declare the variable holding the framework failover seconds and checkpointing flag:

failoverTimeout := float64(3600)
checkpoint := true

We will use them in the framework info declaration.

Then we need to store the framework info and task state. The framework info is changed only after the subscribe method. After subscription, it's worthwhile saving, since it contains a framework that is required to reconnect.

Declare a global variable with a path to...
