Hazelcast Mesos

This module gives you the ability to deploy Hazelcast on the Mesos cluster.

Warning

This is an early version of Hazelcast Mesos integration. Anything in this project may change without notice and/or break older installations.

Prerequisites

• A running Mesos cluster to deploy Hazelcast on it. For information on installing and running Apache Mesos, please refer to http://mesos.apache.org/gettingstarted/.
• Java needs to be installed and configured on the Mesos slaves.

Running Hazelcast Mesos via Command Line

You can deploy Hazelcast on Mesos via command line by running the Hazelcast Scheduler. Please perform the following steps:

• Download the Hazelcast Mesos package from https://s3.amazonaws.com/hazelcast/mesos/hazelcast-mesos-0.1.tar.gz.
• Extract the archive:

tar -zxvf hazelcast-mesos-0.1.tar.gz

• Navigate to hazelcast-mesos-0.1:

cd hazelcast-mesos-0.1

• Open the start.sh in the text editor and edit the configuration parameters according to your needs:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

export HAZELCAST_VERSION=3.6
export HOST="localhost"
export PORT="8090"
export MESOS_ZK="zk://localhost:2181/mesos"
export MIN_HEAP="1g"
export MAX_HEAP="1g"
export CPU_PER_NODE=1.0
export MEMORY_PER_NODE=1024.0
export NUMBER_OF_NODES=1

java -cp hazelcast-mesos-scheduler.jar HazelcastMain

• Run the scheduler:

sh start.sh

• Open the Mesos UI at http://localhost:5050. You should see the Hazelcast tasks with state RUNNING .

The scheduler will pull the Hazelcast binaries from web and distribute it to Mesos slaves and start the Hazelcast nodes. Hazelcast Scheduler will place only one Hazelcast member per Mesos slave.

You can control the cluster size of Hazelcast via the REST API it provides. For example, to scale Hazelcast cluster to 5 nodes, run the following command:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8090/nodes?nodeCount=5

Running Hazelcast Mesos via Marathon

You can deploy Hazelcast on Mesos via Marathon.

For information on installing Marathon, please refer to https://docs.mesosphere.com/getting-started/datacenter/install/.

After you install Marathon, please perform the following steps:

• Save the following JSON as hazelcast.json:

{
  "id": "/hazelcast",
  "instances": 1,
  "cpus": 1,
  "mem": 1024,
  "ports": [
    0
  ],
  "env": {
    "HAZELCAST_VERSION": "3.6",
    "HOST": "localhost",
    "PORT": "8090",
    "MESOS_ZK": "zk://localhost:2181/mesos",
    "MIN_HEAP": "1g",
    "MAX_HEAP": "1g",
    "CPU_PER_NODE": "1.0",
    "MEMORY_PER_NODE": "1024.0",
    "NUMBER_OF_NODES": "3"
  },
  "cmd": "cd hazelcast-mesos-0.1 && java -cp hazelcast-mesos-scheduler.jar HazelcastMain",
  "uris": [
    "https://s3.amazonaws.com/hazelcast/mesos/hazelcast-mesos-0.1.tar.gz"
  ]
}

• Initiate a POST request to Marathon REST API:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/v2/apps -d @hazelcast.json -H "Content-type: application/json"

• Open the Marathon UI at http://localhost:8080. You should see the hazelcast application with state Running:

• Open the Mesos UI at http://localhost:5050. You should see the Hazelcast tasks with state RUNNING:

• Click the Sandbox link to see the working directory of task:

• You can have a look at the logs of Hazelcast by clicking on the hazelcast.log or hazelcast.err.log links.

Configuration

You can pass environment variables to configure Hazelcast Mesos integration. You can pass those environment variables either in the Marathon recipe or in the start.sh.
