Mesos runs Redis.
A minimalistic framework for Redis workload on Apache Mesos
This framework supports the following features
- Creates/Maintains Single Redis-instance
- Creates/Maintains Redis-Instances with Master-Slave setup
- A centralized persistance layer currently enabled by etcd
At [Huawei] (http://www.huawei.com/en/) we foresee creating, running and maintaining huge number of redis instances on our datacenters. We intially evaluated few cluster managers for this job, but due to the specific requirements of 'redis' itself those solutions did not satisfy most of our needs. We quickly did a POC by writing a framework exclusively for Redis on Apache Mesos. Based on the outcome we decided to initate this project and work with the opensource community to build a robust custom framework for Redis which will be useful for Huawei as well as for the rest of the world.
##Project Status is Alpha. We have built a basic working functionality and would like to build a strong functional framework for Redis along with the community. In the meanwhile please feel free to try this out and give us feedback by creating PR and Issues.
- If your organization has a requirement for creating and maintaining huge number of redis service instances
- If you are planning to host 'redis' as a Service
- If redis instances need to be created in seconds and not in minutes
- If you are already using Apache Mesos as a Resource Manager for your Datacenter and want to add Redis (as a service) workload to it
###Prerequisite For Mr-Redis to work you will need below softwares already available in your DataCenter (Cloud)
- Apache Mesos :- The Resource Manager of your DC to which mr-redis scheduler will connect to.
- [Golang Dev Environment] (https://golang.org/doc/install) :- If you are planning to build mr-redis from source you will need to setup standard golang development environment.
- etcd :- mr-redis uses etcd to store its state information so a running instance of etcd is required in your datacenter
- redis-server :- mr-redis scheduler is capable of distributing redis-server (redis binary). Scheduler needs a valid location of redis-server binary that can be distributed to the slave.
Installing the scheduler/framework can be done in three ways
$git clone https://github.com/mesos/mr-redis.git ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/mesos/mr-redis
$go get github.com/tools/godep
$cd ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/mesos/mr-redis/sched
$godep go build .
$cd ../exec/
$godep go build -o MrRedisExecutor .
$cd ../cli/
$godep go build -o mrr .
$mkdir mr-redis
$cd mr-redis
$wget https://github.com/mesos/mr-redis/releases/download/v0.01-alpha/sched
$wget https://github.com/mesos/mr-redis/releases/download/v0.01-alpha/MrRedisExecutor
Linux CLI
$wget https://github.com/mesos/mr-redis/releases/download/v0.01-alpha/mrr_linux_amd64
Windows CLI
$wget https://github.com/mesos/mr-redis/releases/download/v0.01-alpha/mrr_win_amd64.exe
Darwin (MAC) CLI
$wget https://github.com/mesos/mr-redis/releases/download/v0.01-alpha/mrr_darwin_amd64
Mark them as binaries
$chmod u+x *
Create a link or alias for ease of use, for example in linux perform below to create a link
$ln -s mrr_linux_amd64 mrr
MrRedis is integrated with DC/OS's universe, it should be pretty straight forward to install it like anyother package.
$dcos package install mr-redis
Unlike ETCD, Cassandra and other database frameworks installing mr-redis (scheduler) itself will not create any redis instance in your DC/OS environment, you have to further download and use the CLI (mrr) in order to create redis instances.
The scheduler binds itself with the port 5656, so from a node within the cluster or from a node from which mrredis.mesos is resolvable try to create an instance with the below configuration. {InstanceName : "TestInstance"; MemoryCapacity : 100 MB; Number of Slaves : 2;}
$curl -X "POST" mrredis.mesos:5656/v1/CREATE/TestInstance/100/1/2
Request Accepted, Instance will be created.
Try the below curl command. This gives a json response about this instance.
$curl mrredis.mesos:5656/v1/STATUS/TestInstance
{"Name":"TestInstance","Type":"MS","Status":"RUNNING","Capacity":200,"Master":{"IP":"10.11.12.123","Port":"6382","MemoryCapacity":200,"MemoryUsed":1904432,"Uptime":1623,"ClientsConnected":1,"LastSyncedToMaster":0},"Slaves":[{"IP":"10.11.12.121","Port":"6381","MemoryCapacity":200,"MemoryUsed":834904,"Uptime":1619,"ClientsConnected":2,"LastSyncedToMaster":9},{"IP":"10.11.12.121","Port":"6382","MemoryCapacity":200,"MemoryUsed":834904,"Uptime":1619,"ClientsConnected":2,"LastSyncedToMaster":9}]}
OR try the CLI
$mrr status -n TestInstance
Status = RUNNING
Type = MS
Capacity = 200
Master = 10.11.12.123:6382
Slave0 = 10.11.12.121:6381
Slave1 = 10.11.12.121:6382
From the above json response information related to Master are as follows.
"Master": {
"IP": "10.11.12.123",
"Port": "6382",
"MemoryCapacity": 200,
"MemoryUsed": 1904432,
"Uptime": 1623,
"ClientsConnected": 1,
"LastSyncedToMaster": 0
}
You could use any redis [client] (http://redis.io/clients) and connect to the master or use the redis-cli to test the instance.
$redis-cli -h 10.11.12.123 -p 6382
10.11.12.123:6381> set foo bar
OK
10.11.12.123:6381> get foo
"bar"
10.11.12.123:6381> exit
MrRedis scheduler binary is usually refered as sched, the scheduler hosts a file-server which can distribute redis binary and custom Executor.
The scheduler takes only one argument which is the config file,
$./sched -config="./config.json"
2016/01/17 16:35:11 *****************************************************************
2016/01/17 16:35:11 *********************Starting MrRedis-Scheduler******************
2016/01/17 16:35:11 *****************************************************************
2016/01/17 16:35:11 Starting the HTTP server at port 8080
.
.
The configuration file should be of json format, below is an example
$cat config.json
{
"Master":"zk://master.mesos:2181/mesos",
"ExecutorPath":"/home/ubuntu/MrRedis/exec/MrRedisExecutor",
"RedisPath":"/home/ubuntu/MrRedis/redisbin/redis-server",
"DBType":"etcd",
"DBEndPoint": "http://11.12.13.14:2379",
"ArtifactIP": "12.13.14.15" //scheduler Machine's IP address which is reachable by all the slaves to download the executor
}
Please substitute appropriate values with respect to your enviroment for MasterIP/Port, ExecutorPath, DBEndPoint and IP adddres of this scheduler's VM that is accessible from the slaves for artifactIP
if you want to get an empty config for you to start working on you could do this and the scheduler will print you a dummy structure for you to start working on.
$./sched -DumpEmptyConfig
{
"Master": "127.0.0.1:5050",
"ExecutorPath": "./MrRedisExecutor",
"RedisPath": "./redis-server",
"DBType": "etcd",
"DBEndPoint": "127.0.0.1:2379",
"LogFile": "stderr",
"ArtifactIP": "127.0.0.1",
"ArtifactPort": "5454",
"HTTPPort": "5656"
}
This can be done in 3 ways.
How much time does it take to create 70 single redis instances ?
Scheduler automatically promotes a slave when a master fails.
mr-redis has built-in cli for creating and destroying redis instances.
CLI should first be initialized with the scheduler with this simple command
$mrr init http://<schedulerIP>:<schedulerPORT>
If you want to explore other comamnds below is the help screen
$mrr help

$mrr create -n testInst -m 200 -s 1
Attempting to Creating a Redis Instance (testInst) with mem=200 slaves=1
Instance Creation accepted..
Check $mrr status -n testInst for status
$mrr status -n testInst
Status = RUNNING
Type = MS
Capacity = 200
Master = 10.11.12.33:6389
Slave0 = 10.11.12.32:6380
If you have a complicated Redis requirement then a simple comamnd like the one below will result in creating one redis instance with 1 master and 50 Slaves in less than 15 secs, Simples :-)
$time mrr create -n hello50 -m 100 -s 50 -w true
Attempting to Creating a Redis Instance (hello50) with mem=100 slaves=50
Instance Creation accepted................
Instance Created.
real 0m14.269s

We are writing a proxy that will be installed with every redis instances especially with Master-Slave setup. The proxy should be a simple pass-through. Should be capable of accepting new configuration changes without needing to restart it. Below is some preformance stats comparing different available proxies and ours.
$redis-benchmark -h <IP> -p <PORT> -q -r 100000
Go already provides a nice documentation on coding conventions and guidelines; just try to adhere to that Effective Go :-)
##Specifically
- Format code using go fmt, if an already prebuilt auto formatter is not their in your editor
- We suggest using extensive comments, as this code base is still evolving
- Try to stress on error handling as per Effective error handling in Go (which we ourselves have probably missed at places)
- Please use this framework; We are looking forward for issues, and nothing greater than an issue and a fix. Nonetheless, if interested in contributing something specific, please raise an issue outright to let us know that you are doing "this"
- We have not set up tests and test code yet, this is one obvious area to contribute without saying.
- Support REDIS 3.0 Cluster
- Support a Proxy mechanism to expose Redis Instance Endpoint
- Build a UI for Create/Maintain/Monitor the entier redis framework
- Benchmakr Utility for testing the RedisFramework
