-- Hi Lukas,
I want to learn more from your production environment. How do you use
ProcessJobFactory
in Docker containers? Do you use one ProcessJobFactory process all the
tasks, or spawn out as many threads as the task number? How is the
fault-tolerance?
-- Hi Yi,
* Any progress in your side, in terms of the standalone job? (Chris' patch
is big, :)
* Invert the JobCoordinator to the standalone Samza process s.t. the leader
process of the Samza job becomes the JobCoordinator
Currently, we run the JobCoordinator first, and then Yarn talks to
the JobCoordinator. Isn't it enough so far?
* Make the partition assignment as pluggable model to distribute the tasks to
all Samza processes in a job-group in coordination.
I think the reason for this is for the Kafka's new feature.The API
design needs to be compatible with Kafka.
* Make Samza process multi-threaded while maintaining the per-task
single-threaded
programming model for the users
Do we already have this, or need to add that? This I think can be
done in current ProcessJob. We can have the same number of threads as the
tasks.
Thanks,
Fang, Yan
