Samza - Jobs Resource

Jobs Resource

Releases

Exposes operations at the job scope (as opposed to the cluster, container, or task scope). The initial implementation includes the ability to list all jobs, get the status of a particular job, and start or stop an individual job.

#API The following sections provide general information about the response structure and detailed descriptions of each of the requests.

Response Structure

All responses will contain either a job status or an error message.

Job Status

Job status will be of the form:

{
    "status":"STOPPED",
    "statusDetail":"KILLED",
    "jobName":"wikipedia-parser",
    "jobId":"1"
}

status is the abstract Samza status for the job. Initially it will be one of {STARTING, STARTED, STOPPED, UNKNOWN}.

statusDetail is the implementation-specific status for the job. For YARN, it will be one of the values in the YarnApplicationState enum.

Error Message

Every error response have the following structure:

{
    "message": "Unrecognized status parameter: null"
}

message is the only field in the response and contains a description of the problem.

##Get All Jobs Lists all the jobs installed on the host and provides their status.

######Request GET /v1/jobs

######Response Status: 200 OK

    "jobName":"wikipedia-feed",
    "jobId":"1"
}

######Response codes

Status	Description
200 OK	The operation completed successfully and the current job status is returned.
404 Not Found	The specified job+instance was not found. `{ "message": "Job wikipedia-¯\_(ツ)_/¯-feed instance 1 is not installed on this host." }`
500 Server Error	There was an error executing the command on the server. e.g. The command timed out. `{ "message": "Timeout waiting for job status." }`

##Start Job Starts the job with the specified app name if it’s not already started. The command will return when it has initiated the start operation.

######Format PUT /v1/jobs/{jobName}/{jobId}?status=started

Form parameter status is the intended status of the job at the end of the request.

######Example PUT /v1/jobs/wikipedia-feed/1?status=started ######Response Status: 202 Accepted

{
    "status":"STARTING",
    "statusDetail":"ACCEPTED",
    "jobName": "wikipedia-feed",
    "jobId": "1"
}

##Stop Job Stops the job with the specified app name if it's not already stopped. ######Format PUT /v1/jobs/{jobName}/{jobId}?status=stopped Form parameter `status` is the intended status of the job at the end of the request. ######Example PUT /v1/jobs/wikipedia-feed/1?status=stopped ######Response Status: 202 Accepted

{
    "status":"STOPPED",
    "statusDetail":"KILLED",
    "jobName": "wikipedia-feed",
    "jobId": "1"
}

######Response codes

Status	Description
200 OK	The operation completed successfully and the current job status is returned.
400 Bad Request	There was a problem with the request. e.g. an invalid status parameter. `{ "message": "Unrecognized status parameter: null" }`
404 Not Found	The specified job+instance was not found. `{ "message": "Job wikipedia-¯\_(ツ)_/¯-feed instance 1 is not installed on this host." }`
500 Server Error	There was an error executing the command on the server. e.g. The command timed out. `{ "message": "Timeout waiting for job status." }`

# Design ###Abstractions There are three primary abstractions used by the JobsResource that users can implement to handle any details specific to their environment. 1. **JobProxy**: The JobProxy is the central point of interacting with Samza jobs. It exposes generic methods to start, stop, and get the status of a Samza job. Implementations of this interface can employ custom code to implement these methods tailored to the specific API for any cluster manager. 2. **InstallationFinder**: The InstallationFinder provides a generic interface to discover all the installed jobs, hiding any customizations in the job package structure and its location (e.g. local vs remote host). The InstallationFinder also resolves the job configuration, which is used to validate and identify the job. 3. **JobStatusProvider**: The JobStatusProvider allows the JobProxy to get the status of a job in a generic way. The same interface can be used to get the job status on Yarn, Mesos, or standalone jobs. It also enables different implementations for the same cluster. With Yarn, for example, one implementation may get job status via command line and another via the ResourceManager REST API. The [configuration](jobs.html#configuration) must specify a JobProxy factory class explicitly. By contrast, the InstallationFinder and JobStatusProvider abstractions are natural extensions of the JobProxy and are solely provided to demonstrate a pattern for discovering installed jobs and fetching job status. However, they are not an explicit requirement. The `SimpleYarnJobProxy` that ships with Samza REST is intended to demonstrate a functional implementation of a JobProxy which works with the Hello Samza jobs. See the [tutorial](../../../../tutorials/latest/samza-rest-getting-started.html) to try it out. You can implement your own JobProxy to adapt the JobsResource to the specifics of your job packaging and deployment model. ### Request Flow After validating each request, the JobsResource invokes the appropriate JobProxy command. The JobProxy uses the InstallationFinder to enumerate the installed jobs and the JobStatusProvider to get the runtime status of the jobs. The provided [SimpleInstallationFinder](../javadocs/org/apache/samza/rest/proxy/installation/SimpleInstallationFinder.html) crawls the file system, starting in the directory specified by the `job.installations.path` looking for valid Samza job config files. It extracts the `job.name` and `job.id` property values and creates an [InstallationRecord](../javadocs/org/apache/samza/rest/proxy/installation/InstallationRecord.html) for the each job instance. The InstallationRecord contains all the information needed to start, stop, and get the status for the job. The provided [YarnRestJobStatusProvider](../javadocs/org/apache/samza/rest/proxy/job/YarnRestJobStatusProvider.html) uses the Resource Manager's REST API to fetch the job status. The [SimpleYarnJobProxy](../javadocs/org/apache/samza/rest/proxy/job/SimpleYarnJobProxy.html) relies on the scripts in the InstallationRecord scriptFilePath (`/bin`) directory to start and stop jobs. The following is a depiction of the implementation that ships with Samza REST: Jobs resource component diagram

## Configuration The JobsResource properties should be specified in the same file as the Samza REST configuration. They are specified here for clarity.

Status	Description
200 OK	The operation completed successfully and the current job status is returned.
400 Bad Request	There was a problem with the request. e.g. an invalid status parameter. `{ "message": "Unrecognized status parameter: null" }`
404 Not Found	The specified job+instance was not found. `{ "message": "Job wikipedia-¯\_(ツ)_/¯-feed instance 1 is not installed on this host." }`
500 Server Error	There was an error executing the command on the server. e.g. The command timed out. `{ "message": "Timeout waiting for job status." }`

Name	Description
job.proxy.factory.class	Required: The Job Proxy Factory that will be used to create a Job Proxy to control the job. The value is a fully-qualified class name which must implement JobProxyFactory. Samza ships with one implementation: org.apache.samza.rest.proxy.job.SimpleYarnJobProxy Executes shell scripts to start, stop, and get the status of jobs, relying primarily on the YARN ApplicationCLI. It uses the SimpleInstallationRecord abstraction to interact with Samza jobs installed on disk.
job.installations.path	Required: The file system path which contains the Samza job installations. The path must be on the same host as the Samza REST Service. Each installation must be a directory with structure conforming to the expectations of the InstallationRecord implementation used by the JobProxy.
job.config.factory.class	The config factory to use for reading Samza job configs. This is used to fetch the job.name and job.id properties for each job instance in the InstallationRecord. It's also used to validate that a particular directory within the installations path actually contains Samza jobs. If not specified org.apache.samza.config.factories.PropertiesConfigFactory will be used.
yarn.resourcemanager.api.endpoint	An optional config if YARN is used as the cluster manager. This provides the host and port at which the YARN ResourceManager REST API is exposed. If not specified localhost:8088 will be used.
