Cloudera Director Wrapper

Provide a thin, convenience wrapper around the Cloudera Director Client

Requirements

• Python 2.6+
• Cloudera Manager Python Client 5+
• Cloudera Director Client 1.0+

Installation

The Cloudera Director Client installation:

http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/documentation/cloudera-director/latest/topics/director_install_client_task.html

The Cloudera Manager python client installation (requires Python):

git clone git://github.com/cloudera/cm_api.git
cd cm_api/python
python setup.py install

The Cloudera Director wrapper build and installation:

git clone https://github.com/ggear/cloudera-director-wrapper.git
cd cloudera-director-wrapper
mvn clean install
mkdir -p /usr/lib64/cloudera-director/wrapper
tar xvzf target/cloudera-director-wrapper-*-bin.tar.gz -C /usr/lib64/cloudera-director/wrapper --strip 1

The shell environment should include home directories pointing to the Director and Wrapper installs:

export DIRECTOR_CLIENT_HOME=/usr/lib64/cloudera-director/client
export DIRECTOR_CLIENT_WRAPPER_HOME=/usr/lib64/cloudera-director/wrapper

Configuration

The Director Client Wrapper is driven by a single configuration file, an example of which ships with the install:

vi /usr/lib64/cloudera-director/wrapper/cfg/cluster.conf

Running

The Director Client Wrapper runs transparently over a local Director Client:

cloudera-director clean
cloudera-director bootstrap
cloudera-director client

or can be run from a remote machine (bootstrap is run as a resumable deamon processs):

cloudera-director-remote my-user@my.host.com clean
cloudera-director-remote my-user@my.host.com bootstrap
cloudera-director-remote my-user@my.host.com client
