Deployment with hdt

This document provides a way to start an HStreamDB cluster quickly using the deployment tool hdt.

Pre-Require

  • Start HStreamDB requires an operating system kernel version greater than at least Linux 4.14. Check with command:

1. uname -r - The local host needs to be able to connect to the remote server via SSH - Make sure remote server has docker installed. - Make sure that the log-in user has sudo execute privileges, and configure sudo without password. - For nodes which deploy HStore instances, mount the data disk to /mnt/data*/.

  • “*“ Matching incremental numbers, start from zero
  • one disk should mount to one directory. e.g. if we have two data disks /dev/vdb and /dev/vdc, then /dev/vdb should mount to /mnt/data0 and /dev/vdc should mount to /mnt/data1

Deploy hdt on the control machine

We’ll use a deployment tool hdt to help us set up the cluster. The binaries are available here: <https://github.com/hstreamdb/deployment-tool/releases>.

  1. Log in to the control machine and download the binaries.
  2. Generate configuration template with command:

1. ./hdt init

The current directory structure will be as follows after running the init command:

1. ├── hdt 2. └── template 3. ├── config.yaml 4. ├── grafana 5. │ ├── dashboards 6. │ └── datasources 7. ├── prometheus 8. └── script

Update Config.yaml

template/config.yaml contains the template for the configuration file. Refer to the description of the fields in the file and modify the template according to your actual needs.

Here we will deploy a cluster on 3 nodes, each consisting of a HServer instance, a HStore instance and a Meta-Store instance as a simple example. For hstream monitor stack, refer to monitor components config.

The final configuration file may looks like:

1. global:
2. user: "root"
3. key_path: "~/.ssh/id_rsa"
4. ssh_port: 22

6. hserver:
7. - host: 172.24.47.175
8. - host: 172.24.47.174
9. - host: 172.24.47.173

11. hstore:
12. - host: 172.24.47.175
13. enable_admin: true
14. - host: 172.24.47.174
15. - host: 172.24.47.173

17. meta_store:
18. - host: 172.24.47.175
19. - host: 172.24.47.174
20. - host: 172.24.47.173

Set up cluster

set up cluster with ssh key-value pair

1. ./hdt start -c template/config.yaml -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -u root

set up cluster with passwd

1. ./hdt start -c template/config.yaml -p -u root

then type your password.

use ./hdt start -h for more information

Remove cluster

remove cluster will stop cluster and remove ALL related data.

remove cluster with ssh key-value pair

1. ./hdt remove -c template/config.yaml -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -u root

remove cluster with passwd

1. ./hdt remove -c template/config.yaml -p -u root

then type your password.

Detailed configuration items

This section describes in detail the meaning of each field in the configuration file. The configuration file is divided into three large sections: global configuration items, monitoring component configuration items and other component configuration items.

Global

1. global:
2. # # Username to login via SSH
3. user: "root"
4. # # The path of SSH identity file
5. key_path: "~/.ssh/hstream-aliyun.pem"
6. # # SSH service monitor port
7. ssh_port: 22
8. # # Replication factors of store metadata
9. meta_replica: 3
10. # # Local path to MetaStore config file
11. meta_store_config_path: ""
12. # # Local path to HStore config file
13. hstore_config_path: ""
14. # # HStore config file can be loaded from network filesystem, for example, the config file
15. # # can be stored in meta store and loaded via network request. Set this option to true will
16. # # force store load config file from its local filesystem.
17. disable_store_network_config_path: true
18. # # Local path to HServer config file
19. hserver_config_path: ""
20. # # Global container configuration
21. container_config:
22. cpu_limit: 200
23. memory_limit: 8G
24. disable_restart: true
25. remove_when_exit: true

Global section set the default configuration value for all other configuration items. Here are some notes:

  • meta_replica set the replication factors of HStreamDB metadata. This value should not exceed the number of hstore instances.
  • meta_store_config_path、hstore_config_path and hserver_config_path are configuration file path for meta_store、hstore and hserver in the control machine. If the paths are set, these configuration files will be synchronized to the specified location on the node where the respective instance is located, and the corresponding configuration items will be updated when the instance is started.
  • container_config let you set resource limitations for all containers.
