OpenStack Sahara Essentials

By: Omar Khedher

Overview of this book

The Sahara project is a module that aims to simplify the building of data processing capabilities on OpenStack. The goal of this book is to provide a focused, fast paced guide to installing, configuring, and getting started with integrating Hadoop with OpenStack, using Sahara. The book should explain to users how to deploy their data-intensive Hadoop and Spark clusters on top of OpenStack. It will also cover how to use the Sahara REST API, how to develop applications for Elastic Data Processing on Openstack, and setting up hadoop or spark clusters on Openstack.

Chapter 7. Troubleshooting

OpenStack exposes different components and services that communicate between each other. Installing and running an OpenStack cluster can be an error-prone process and one or several services might fail to start. We have seen in Chapter 1, The Essence of Big Data in the Cloud the integration of the Sahara project into the OpenStack ecosystem. Sahara depends directly on many OpenStack services to run properly and generate the expected results. Additionally, it was concluded that Sahara communicates with other OpenStack services by means of APIs including compute, image, storage, orchestration, and network services. With this in mind, it might be crucial to take a look at some details and highlight how things run under the hood. Although Chapter 2, Integrating OpenStack Sahara describes how to install OpenStack and integrate Sahara in a test environment, going to production may generate unexpected errors that need to be addressed. As discussed in Chapter 2, Integrating...
