Mastering Mesos

By: Dipa Dubhashi, Akhil Das

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.

The Elasticsearch-Logstash-Kibana (ELK) stack on Mesos


This section will introduce the Elasticsearch-Logstash-Kibana (ELK) stack and explain how to set it up on Mesos while also discussing the problems commonly encountered during the setup process.

Introduction to Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana

The ELK stack, a combination of Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana, is an end-to-end solution for log analytics. Elasticsearch provides search capabilities, Logstash is a log management software, while Kibana serves as the visualization layer. The stack is commercially backed by a company called Elastic.

Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch is a Lucene-based open source distributed search engine designed for high scalability and fast search query response time. It simplifies the usage of Lucene, a highly performant search engine library, by providing a powerful REST API on top. Some of the important concepts in Elasticsearch are highlighted as follows:
