Apache Mesos Cookbook

By: David Blomquist, Tomasz Janiszewski

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

Killing tasks


In this recipe, we will ask Mesos to shut down a task.

How to do it...

Killing tasks is similar to launching tasks with one difference: tasks can be killed at any time.

Let's add support for the delete method in the web function:

case "DELETE":
     id := r.Form["id"][0]
     err := kill(id)
     if err != nil {
             fmt.Fprint(w, err)
     } else {
             fmt.Print(w, "KILLED")
     }

We need to implement the kill function. It'll be similar to acknowledge because it will only prepare and send a message to Mesos. To kill tasks, we need to know the task's ID. We will get it from the user and agent ID on which the task is launched. We need to modify our framework to keep track of the launched tasks. We will keep that in the global map, where task ID will be the key and task last update will be the value:

var tasksState = make(map[string]*TaskStatus)

This map will be updated every time we get an update. So in the hadleUpdate() function, we need to add the following:

tasksState...
