Mastering Mesos

Overview of this book

Apache Mesos is open source cluster management software that provides efficient resource isolations and resource sharing distributed applications or frameworks. This book will take you on a journey to enhance your knowledge from amateur to master level, showing you how to improve the efficiency, management, and development of Mesos clusters. The architecture is quite complex and this book will explore the difficulties and complexities of working with Mesos. We begin by introducing Mesos, explaining its architecture and functionality. Next, we provide a comprehensive overview of Mesos features and advanced topics such as high availability, fault tolerance, scaling, and efficiency. Furthermore, you will learn to set up multi-node Mesos clusters on private and public clouds. We will also introduce several Mesos-based scheduling and management frameworks or applications to enable the easy deployment, discovery, load balancing, and failure handling of long-running services. Next, you will find out how a Mesos cluster can be easily set up and monitored using the standard deployment and configuration management tools. This advanced guide will show you how to deploy important big data processing frameworks such as Hadoop, Spark, and Storm on Mesos and big data storage frameworks such as Cassandra, Elasticsearch, and Kafka.

Monitoring the Mesos cluster using Satellite


Satellite is another tool for monitoring Mesos, and the Satellite project is maintained by Two Sigma Investments, which is written in Clojure. The Satellite master instance monitors the Mesos masters and receives the monitoring information from Mesos slaves through the Satellite slaves. For each Mesos master and Mesos slave, there exists a Satellite master and slave process, with the satellite-slave processes sending one type of message to all satellite-masters in the cluster.

Aggregate statistics of the cluster, such as the utilization of resources, the number of lost tasks and events specific to the master, such as how many leaders are currently active and so on, are usually pulled. Satellite also provides a Representational State Transfer (REST) interface to interact with the Mesos master whitelist. Whitelists are text files that contain the list of hosts to which the master will consider sending tasks. It also provides a REST interface to...
