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.

Debugging and troubleshooting


In this section, we will look at how to troubleshoot and debug the common issues faced during setup.

Handling missing library dependencies

Sometimes, when you try to build Mesos on a brand new Linux VM, it may throw up errors in the configure step. An example is a missing libz-dev package:

configure: error: cannot find libz
-------------------------------------------------------------------
libz is required for Mesos to build.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Whenever you find an error such as the preceding one or something similar to a missing package, the next thing that you need to do is to install these missing packages and execute the configure command again.

Here, to resolve the missing libz library, you will have to type in the following on the Ubuntu machine:

$ sudo apt-get install libz-dev

For CentOS flavors, the command will be as follows:

$ yum install zlib-devel
