I'm starting to put together the incubation proposal for Hoya: a tool to dynamically deploy applications such as HBase or Accumulo on YARN
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/HoyaProposal It does already work to the extent that it can bring up either application, run different clusters of different versions, and remember where containers were allocated so that on application restart it can ask for them back. That increases data locality and makes a big difference with HBase. It also needs a lot more work -YARN-896 is adding YARN features that help, but there's lots of fun to be had in Hoya including -leading edge work in failure handling, modelling cluster unreliability and reacting to it. Can we move beyond simple blacklisting to "greylisting", accepting unreliable boxes if we have no altenatives Then there's adding more providers, to support different application installations -I'm starting to write a functional test framework which need provider-specific workload generations Other features: AM should have a web ui that redirects to the live endpoints to all the app-specific UIs (e.g. HBase Master GUI), as well as displaying cluster state itself, for people and for management tools.... To summarise: lots of fun to be had -steve -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE NOTICE: This message is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential, privileged and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
