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.

Installing Protobuf


In this recipe, we will be installing Protobuf to generate Golang structures used in communication with Mesos.

Getting ready

Install Golang, Protobuf, and the Golang Protobuf bindings:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-lxc/lxd-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install golang git
export GOPATH=~/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler
go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/{proto,protoc-gen-go}

How to do it...

  1. Create a project directory and go there:
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/simple-scheduler
cd $GOPATH/src/simple-scheduler
  1. Download the Mesos protobuf message definitions:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/mesos/170ac/include/mesos/v1/mesos.proto
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/mesos/170ac/include/mesos/v1/scheduler/scheduler.proto
  1. Tweak them to our needs. Change the default package of generated bindings to one that matches Golang. We will keep the whole project in one main package and the generated bindings should fit in...
