Ozone - Object store for Hadoop

Introduction

Ozone is an object store for Hadoop. It is a redundant, distributed object store build by leveraging primitives present in HDFS. Ozone supports REST API for accessing the store.

Getting Started

Ozone is a work in progress and currently lives in its own branch. To use it, you have to build a package by yourself and deploy a cluster.

Building Ozone

To build Ozone, please checkout the hadoop sources from github. Then checkout the ozone branch, HDFS-7240 and build it.

  • git checkout HDFS-7240
  • mvn clean package -DskipTests=true -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -Pdist -Dtar -DskipShade

skipShade is just to make compilation faster and not really required.

This will give you a tarball in your distribution directory. This is the tarball that can be used for deploying your hadoop cluster. Here is an example of the tarball that will be generated.

  • ~/apache/hadoop/hadoop-dist/target/hadoop-3.0.0-alpha4-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz

Please proceed to setup a hadoop cluster by creating the hdfs-site.xml and other configuration files that are needed for your cluster.

Ozone Configuration

Ozone relies on its own configuration file called ozone-site.xml. It is just for convenience and ease of management -- you can add these settings to hdfs-site.xml, if you don't want to keep ozone settings separate. This document refers to ozone-site.xml so that ozone settings are in one place and not mingled with HDFS settings.

  • ozone.enabled This is the most important setting for ozone. Currently, Ozone is an opt-in subsystem of HDFS. By default, Ozone is disabled. Setting this flag to true enables ozone in the HDFS cluster. Here is an example,
    <property>
       <name>ozone.enabled</name>
       <value>True</value>
    </property>
  • ozone.container.metadata.dirs Ozone is designed with modern hardware in mind. It tries to use SSDs effectively. So users can specify where the datanode metadata must reside. Usually you pick your fastest disk (SSD if you have them on your datanodes). Datanodes will write the container metadata to these disks. This is a required setting, if this is missing datanodes will fail to come up. Here is an example,
   <property>
      <name>ozone.container.metadata.dirs</name>
      <value>/data/disk1/container/meta</value>
   </property>
  • ozone.scm.names Ozone is build on top of container framework (See Ozone Architecture TODO). Storage container manager(SCM) is a distributed block service which is used by ozone and other storage services. This property allows datanodes to discover where SCM is, so that datanodes can send heartbeat to SCM. SCM is designed to be highly available and datanodes assume there are multiple instances of SCM which form a highly available ring. The HA feature of SCM is a work in progress. So we configure ozone.scm.names to be a single machine. Here is an example,
    <property>
      <name>ozone.scm.names</name>
      <value>scm.hadoop.apache.org</value>
    </property>
  • ozone.scm.datanode.id Each datanode that speaks to SCM generates an ID just like HDFS. This ID is stored is a location pointed by this setting. If this setting is not valid, datanodes will fail to come up. Please note: This path that is will created by datanodes to store the datanode ID. Here is an example,
   <property>
      <name>ozone.scm.datanode.id</name>
      <value>/data/disk1/scm/meta/node/datanode.id</value>
   </property>
  • ozone.scm.block.client.address Storage Container Manager(SCM) offers a set of services that can be used to build a distributed storage system. One of the services offered is the block services. KSM and HDFS would use this service. This property describes where KSM can discover SCM's block service endpoint. There is corresponding ports etc, but assuming that we are using default ports, the server address is the only required field. Here is an example,
    <property>
      <name>ozone.scm.block.client.address</name>
      <value>scm.hadoop.apache.org</value>
    </property>
  • ozone.ksm.address KSM server address. This is used by Ozonehandler and Ozone File System.
    <property>
       <name>ozone.ksm.address</name>
       <value>ksm.hadoop.apache.org</value>
    </property>

Here is a quick summary of settings needed by Ozone.

Setting Value Comment
ozone.enabled True This enables SCM and containers in HDFS cluster.
ozone.container.metadata.dirs file path The container metadata will be stored here in the datanode.
ozone.scm.names SCM server name Hostname:port or or IP:port address of SCM.
ozone.scm.datanode.id file path Data node ID is the location of datanode's ID file
ozone.scm.block.client.address SCM server name Used by services like KSM
ozone.ksm.address KSM server name Used by Ozone handler and Ozone file system.

Here is a working example ofozone-site.xml.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
    <configuration>
      <property>
          <name>ozone.enabled</name>
          <value>True</value>
        </property>

        <property>
          <name>ozone.container.metadata.dirs</name>
          <value>/data/disk1/scm/meta</value>
        </property>


        <property>
          <name>ozone.scm.names</name>
          <value>scm.hadoop.apache.org</value>
        </property>

        <property>
          <name>ozone.scm.datanode.id</name>
          <value>/data/disk1/scm/meta/node/datanode.id</value>
        </property>

        <property>
          <name>ozone.scm.block.client.address</name>
          <value>scm.hadoop.apache.org</value>
        </property>

         <property>
            <name>ozone.ksm.address</name>
            <value>ksm.hadoop.apache.org</value>
          </property>
    </configuration>

Starting Ozone

Ozone is designed to run concurrently with HDFS. The simplest way to start HDFS is to run start-dfs.sh from the $HADOOP/sbin/start-dfs.sh. Once HDFS is running, please verify it is fully functional by running some commands like

  • ./hdfs dfs -mkdir /usr
  • ./hdfs dfs -ls /

Once you are sure that HDFS is running, start Ozone. To start ozone, you need to start SCM and KSM. Currently we assume that both KSM and SCM is running on the same node, this will change in future.

  • ./hdfs --daemon start scm
  • ./hdfs --daemon start ksm

if you would like to start HDFS and Ozone together, you can do that by running a single command.

  • $HADOOP/sbin/start-ozone.sh

This command will start HDFS and then start the ozone components.

Once you have ozone running you can use these ozone shell commands to create a volume, bucket and keys.

Diagnosing issues

Ozone tries not to pollute the existing HDFS streams of configuration and logging. So ozone logs are by default configured to be written to a file called ozone.log. This is controlled by the settings in log4j.properties file in the hadoop configuration directory.

Here is the log4j properties that are added by ozone.

   #
   # Add a logger for ozone that is separate from the Datanode.
   #
   #log4j.debug=true
   log4j.logger.org.apache.hadoop.ozone=DEBUG,OZONE,FILE

   # Do not log into datanode logs. Remove this line to have single log.
   log4j.additivity.org.apache.hadoop.ozone=false

   # For development purposes, log both to console and log file.
   log4j.appender.OZONE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
   log4j.appender.OZONE.Threshold=info
   log4j.appender.OZONE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
   log4j.appender.OZONE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} [%t] %-5p \
    %X{component} %X{function} %X{resource} %X{user} %X{request} - %m%n

   # Real ozone logger that writes to ozone.log
   log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
   log4j.appender.FILE.File=${hadoop.log.dir}/ozone.log
   log4j.appender.FILE.Threshold=debug
   log4j.appender.FILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
   log4j.appender.FILE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} [%t] %-5p \
     (%F:%L) %X{function} %X{resource} %X{user} %X{request} - \
      %m%n

If you would like to have a single datanode log instead of ozone stuff getting written to ozone.log, please remove this line or set this to true.

log4j.additivity.org.apache.hadoop.ozone=false

On the SCM/KSM side, you will be able to see

  • hadoop-hdfs-ksm-hostname.log
  • hadoop-hdfs-scm-hostname.log

Please file any issues you see under Object store in HDFS (HDFS-7240) as this is still a work in progress.
