             Summary: Support real persistent in the k8s example files 
                 Key: HDDS-1646
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-1646
             Project: Hadoop Distributed Data Store
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Elek, Marton
            Assignee: Elek, Marton


Ozone release contains example k8s deployment files to make it easier to deploy 
Ozone to kubernetes. As of now we use emptyDir everywhere, we should support 
the configuration of host volumes (hostPath or Local Persistent volumes).

The big question here is the default:

* Make the examples easy to start and ephemeral
* Make the examples more safe, by default (but couldn't be started without 
additional administration).

(Note this conversation is started in the review of HDDS-1508)

Xiaoyu:  Can we support mount hostVolume for datanode daemons?

Marton: Yes, we can.

AFAIK there are two options:
 * using 
[hostPath](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#hostpath)
 * or with [Local 
PersistentVolumes](https://kubernetes.io/blog/2018/04/13/local-persistent-volumes-beta/)

The first one requires the knowledge of directory names on the host.
The second one is recommended but it requires the creation of PersistentVolumes 
or install a PersistentVolume provider

I am not sure what is the best approach, my current proposal is:

 * Use empty dir everywhere to make it easier to start simple ozone cluster
 * Provide simple option to turn on any of theses persistence (the kubernetes 
files are generated and the generation can be parametrized)
 * Document how to customize the kubernetes resources files

Summary: it's question of the defaults:
 
  1. Use a complex, but persistent solution, which may not work out of the box  
 
  2. Use a simple, but ephemeral solution (as default)

I started to use (2) but I am open to change.
