3. Abstract
●
This slide is to introduce how to use OpenStack
Swift as storage service for Apache Hadoop
instead of HDFS(which is storage service of
Hadoop project).
●
This slide is based on
http://bigdatacraft.com/archives/349, and really
appreciate Constantine Peresypkin and David
Gruzman for providing their idea and
implementation.

7. What is OpenStack and Swift
●
OpenSource written in Python
●
diversity
●
Swift can be a part of OpenStack or an individual
service it self.
●
zones, devices, partitions, and replicas
●
No SPOF

Swift fs for Apache Hadoop(just part of following source code)

15. Experiment (infra)
192.168.0.4
192.168.0.9
15

16. Experiment(install swift)
●
Install swift based on
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/development_saio.html
●
Do not forget to set bind_ip of proxy-server.conf
●
192.168.0.9 in my case
●
Suppose we have username as "test:tester" with
password as "testing", the account name is
AUTH_test and have some container based on
steps in above Url.
16

17. Experiment (cloudfiles)
●
Run "ant compile"
●
Change cloudfiles.properties to following
# Auth info
auth_url=http://192.168.0.9:8080/auth/v1.0
auth_token_name=X-Auth-Token
#auth_user_header=X-Storage-User
#auth_pass_header=X-Storage-Pass
# user properties
username=test:tester
password=testing
# cloudfs properties
version=v1
connection_timeout=15000 17

18. Experiment(cloudfiles)
●
Connect cloudfiles to swift(this is option)
●
Change cloudfiles.sh as following and run it to try
connection with swift
#!/bin/sh
export CLASSPATH=lib/httpcore-4.1.4.jar:lib/commons-cli-
1.1.jar:lib/httpclient-4.1.3.jar:lib/commons-lang-
2.4.jar:lib/junit.jar:lib/commons-codec-1.3.jar:lib/commons-io-
1.4.jar:lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar:lib/log4j-1.2.15.jar:dist/java-
cloudfiles.jar:.
java com.rackspacecloud.client.cloudfiles.sample.FilesCli $@
18

19. Experiment (cloudfiles)
●
Packaging java-cloudfiles to jar file for Apache
Hadoop (clone java-cloudfiles to ~/java-
cloudfiles)
●
We need to put *.properties into java-cloudfiles.jar
$ ant package
$ cd cloudfiles/dist
$ cp ../*.properties .
$ rm java-cloudfiles.jar
$ jar cvf java-cloudfiles.jar ./*
19

20. Experiment (hadoop)
●
Prepare
●
download hadoop to ~/hadoop-1.0.3 (newest stable
version of original hadoop) and git clone
https://github.com/Dazo-org/hadoop-common.git to
~/hadoop-common (old hadoop source code with
swift fs plugin)
●
At ~/hadoop-1.0.3 (copy java-cloudfiles and related
library to hadoop lib folder)
– cd lib;cp ~/java-cloudfiles/cloudfiles/dist/java-cloudfiles.jar .
– cp ~/java-cloudfiles/lib/httpc* .
20

21. Experiment (setting hadoop)
●
./hadoop-1.0.3/src/core/core-default.xml
●
Add following to make hadoop can recognize
handle "swift://" schema to SwiftFileSystem class
<property>
<name>fs.swift.impl</name>
<value>org.apache.hadoop.fs.swift.SwiftFileSystem</value>
<description>The FileSystem for swift: uris.</description>
</property>
21

22. Experiment (hadoop)
●
Copy implementation for swift fs to hadoop
1.0.3 and build
●
cp -R ../hadoop-
common/src/core/org/apache/hadoop/fs/swift
./src/core/org/apache/hadoop/fs
●
ant
22

23. Experiment(hadoop setting)
●
./conf/core-site.xml (part1)
●
Add following property for example
<property>
<name>fs.swift.userName</name>
<value>test:tester</value>
</property>
23

24. Experiment (hadoop setting)
●
./conf/core-site.xml (part2)
●
Add following property for example
<property>
<name>fs.swift.userPassword</name>
<value>testing</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>fs.swift.acccountname</name>
<value>AUTH_test</value>
</property>
24

25. Experiment (hadoop setting)
●
./conf/core-site.xml (part3)
●
Add following property for example
<property>
<name>fs.swift.authUrl</name>
<value>http://192.168.0.9:8080/auth/v1.0</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>fs.default.name</name>
<value>swift://192.168.0.9:8080/v1/AUTH_test</value>
</property>
25

26. Experiment (check swift fs)
●
At this time, we should can list account
information via following command
●
./bin/hadoop -fs -ls /
●
or ./bin/hadoop fs -put ./conf/core-site.xml
/test_container/core-site.xml (test_container is a test
container created after swift installed)
26

27. Finally
●
We installed swift for storage service of hadoop
●
We built origin java-cloudfiles and created
packages for hadoop
●
We copied fs.swift plugin from
https://github.com/Dazo-org/hadoop-common.git
to new hadoop source tree and build hadoop
●
We set up core-site.xml of hadoop to connect to
swift via java-cloudfiles
