zookeeper

Formula to set up and configure a single-node Zookeeper server or multi-node Zookeeper cluster.

Note

See the full Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions.

Formula Dependencies

sun-java

Available states

zookeeper
zookeeper.server
zookeeper.uninstalled

`zookeeper`

Downloads the zookeeper tarball from zookeeper:source_url (either Pillar or Grain), installs the package.

`zookeeper.server`

Installs the server configuration and enables and starts the Zookeeper service. Only works if either zookeeper is one of the roles (set via Grains) of the node or the node is listed in zookeeper:nodes (in either Grains or Pillar). This separation allows for nodes to have the Zookeeper libs and environment available without running the service.

`zookeeper.uninstalled`

Uninstalls the Zookeeper and disables and stops the Zookeeper service.

Zookeeper Role and Client Connection String

Deploying a Cluster

The implementation depends on the existence of the roles grain in your minion configuration - at least one minion in your network has to have the zookeeper role which means that it is a Zookeeper server.

You could assign the role with following command executed from your Salt Master:

salt 'zk-node*' grains.append roles zookeeper

The formula gathers Zookeeper node addresses using Salt Mine by publishing the Minion host name via network.get_hostname function to the Salt Master (this is a default behaviour). In case you want to provide the list on nodes in pillar or deploy several zookeeper clusters you can use zookeeper:nodes or zookeeper.clusters parameters (see below). In this case you don't need to use Zookeeper roles.

This will allow you to use the zookeeper.settings state in other states to configure clients - the result of calling:

{%- from 'zookeeper/settings.sls' import zk with context -%}

/etc/somefile.conf:
 file.managed:
   - source: salt://some-formula/files/something.xml
   - user: root
   - group: root
   - mode: 644
   - template: jinja
   - context:
     zookeepers: {{ zk.connection_string }}

zk.connection_string variable contains a string that reflects the names and ports of the hosts with the zookeeper role in the cluster, like

host1.mycluster.net:2181,host2.mycluster.net:2181,host3.mycluster.net:2181

And this will also work for single-node configurations. Whenever you have more than 2 hosts with the zookeeper role the formula will setup a Zookeeper cluster, whenever there is an even number it will be (number - 1).

In case when more than one Zookeeper cluster are deployed clients are required to specify zookeeper:cluster_id parameter (via Grains or Pillar). Clients don't need to use zookeeper:cluster_id parameter if they are presented on the same host with one of Zookeeper nodes. For example:

zookeeper:
  clusters:
    cluster1:
      - 192.168.0.101
      - 192.168.0.102
      - 192.168.0.103
    cluster2:
      - 192.168.1.101
      - 192.168.1.102
      - 192.168.1.103

If Zookeeper client is presented on the host 192.168.1.104 and they want to get a connection_string to the second cluster, they must set up zookeeper:cluster_id parameter. For example, via grains:

salt 'zk-cluster2-clients*' grains.set zookeeper:cluster_id cluster2

If clients (for example, NameNodes of HDFS) are presented on the same machines (i.e. 192.168.0.101, 192.168.0.102, etc.) then they don't need to specify zookeeper:cluster_id parameter.

Standalone Independent Server

Standalone Zookeeper server would be installed and configured by explicitly applying zookeeper.server state to the Minion without any roles assigned. But in this case the server will not appear in the connection_string variable from zookeeper/settings.sls.

To be able to get a proper connection string like described above with only one Zookeeper server running independently, set the following Pillar:

zookeeper:
  hosts_target: "{{ grains['id'] }}"
  targeting_method: 'glob'

This configures a single-node Zookeeper cluster on a machine which is able to read the Pillar from above, and allows to get proper value from the connection_string to configure client apps.

Also, you may want to bind Zookeeper to the particular network address or localhost. Set the Grain like this on your minion before applying zookeeper.server state:

salt zookeper.example.com grains.set zookeeper:config:bind_address 127.0.0.1

Customisations in Pillar or Grains

`hosts_function`

It is possible to extract other data than Minions hostname, such as IP addresses, to provision a cluster and produce the connection string for configuring clients.

For example, to setup a cluster working on second network interface create following Pillar SLS file:

# pillar/zookeeper/init.sls

mine_functions:
 network.ip_addrs:
   interface: eth1

# This also could be configured in the Grains for a Minion
zookeeper:
  hosts_function: network.ip_addrs

And apply this SLS to your Zookeeper cluster in the Pillar top.sls file:

# pillar/top.sls

base:
 'roles:zookeeper':
   - match: grain
   - zookeeper

After this, zoo.cfg file and client connection string will contain the first IP address assigned to eth1 network interface for each node in the cluster.

`hosts_target`

This key used in conjunction with the one below, targeting_method. It defines how Salt Master recognize certain Minions as Zookeeper cluster members. By default, Grain targeting implied to get all nodes with roles:zookeeper value set. Any other Grain or even pattern could be used here. It is very useful if you have multiple independent clusters operating in your environment provisioned by single Salt Master.

See examples in the next section for the details.

`targeting_method`

Set matching type for hosts_target key. Supported values are: grain (default), glob and compound.

Examples:

Grain targeting for myapp cluster by node_type:

# pillar/zookeeper/init.sls
zookeeper:
  hosts_target: node_type:myapp_zk

Simple Glob targeting by Minion ID:

zookeeper:
  hosts_target: zk-node*
  targeting_method: glob

Target only some of Minions with particular Grain using Compound matcher:

zookeeper:
  hosts_target: mycluster-node* and G@zookeeper:*
  targeting_method: compound

`nodes`

If you want to provide your own list of zookeeper nodes you can use nodes parameter. In this case targeting method and clusters parameter will not be used.

As a node identifier you can use hostname, IP address, fqdn, minion id. You cannot use an IP address of the proxy server which redirects requests to the zookeeper node. You can use hostname of the proxy server which redirects requests to the zookeeper node only if zookeeper node has the same hostname as the proxy does.

Examples:

IP addresses usage:

zookeeper:
  nodes:
    - 192.168.0.101
    - 192.168.0.102
    - 192.168.0.103

Minion id usage:

zookeeper:
  nodes:
    - minion1
    - minion2
    - minion3

Mixed usage (IP, minion id, fqdn):

zookeeper:
  nodes:
    - 192.168.0.101
    - minion2
    - zookeeper3.mysite.com

`clusters`

In case you need several separate Zookeeper clusters you can use zookeeper:clusters parameter where you can specify a node list for each of your cluster. In this case targeting method will not be used.

As a node identifier you can use hostname, IP address, fqdn, minion id. You cannot use an IP address of the proxy server which redirects requests to the zookeeper node. You can use hostname of the proxy server which redirects requests to the zookeeper node only if zookeeper node has the same hostname as the proxy does. You cannot use the same minion for two different clusters.

Examples:

IP addresses usage:

zookeeper:
  clusters:
    cluster1:
      - 192.168.0.101
      - 192.168.0.102
      - 192.168.0.103
    cluster2:
      - 192.168.1.101
      - 192.168.1.102
      - 192.168.1.103

Fqdn usage:

zookeeper:
  clusters:
    cluster1:
      - zookeeper1.cluster1.mysite.com
      - zookeeper2.cluster1.mysite.com
      - zookeeper3.cluster1.mysite.com
    cluster2:
      - zookeeper1.cluster2.mysite.com
      - zookeeper2.cluster2.mysite.com
      - zookeeper3.cluster2.mysite.com

Mixed usage (IP, hostname, fqdn):

zookeeper:
  clusters:
    cluster1:
      - 192.168.0.101
      - minion2
      - zookeeper3.cluster1.mysite.com
    cluster2:
      - 192.168.1.101
      - minion-hostname5
      - zookeeper3.cluster2.mysite.com

`restart_on_config`

Restart the Zookeeper service on configuration change. It is recommended to set to True in a single server setup or when you initially deploy your emsemble. However, this is dangerous to allow to happen when deploying a configuration change to a running ensemble, as a rolling restart of each Zookeeper service is recommended.

zookeeper:
  restart_on_config: True
