Stocator - Storage Connector for Apache Spark

Apache Spark can work with multiple data sources that include various object stores like IBM Cloud Object Storage, OpenStack Swift and more. To access an object store, Apache Spark uses Hadoop modules that contain connectors to the various object stores.

Apache Spark needs only small set of object store functionalities. Specifically, Apache Spark requires object listing, objects creation, read objects, and getting data partitions. Hadoop connectors, however, must be compliant with the Hadoop ecosystem. This means they support many more operations, such as shell operations on directories, including move, copy, rename, etc. (these are not native object store operations). Moreover, Hadoop Map Reduce Client is designed to work with file systems and not object stores. The temp files and folders it uses for every write operation are renamed, copied, and deleted. This leads to dozens of useless requests targeted at the object store. It’s clear that Hadoop is designed to work with file systems and not object stores.

Stocator is implicitly designed for the object stores, it has very a different architecture from the existing Hadoop connector. It doesn’t depends on the Hadoop modules and interacts directly with object stores.

Stocator is a generic connector, that may contain various implementations for object stores. It shipped with OpenStack Swift and IBM Cloud Object Storage connectors. Stocator can be easily extended with more object store implementations.

Major features

  • Hadoop ecosystem compliant. Implements Hadoop FileSystem interface
  • No need to change or recompile Apache Spark
  • Stocator doesn’t create any temporary folders or files for write operations. Each Spark's task generates only one object in the object store. Preserves existing Hadoop fault tolerance model
  • Object's name may contain "/" and thus simulate directory structures
  • Containers / buckets are automatically created
  • Supports speculate mode
  • Stocator uses Apache httpcomponents.httpclient.version version 4.5.2 and up

Stocator build procedure

  • Checkout the master branch https://github.com/SparkTC/stocator.git

  • Change directory to stocator

  • Execute mvn install

  • If you want to build a jar with all the dependencies, please execute

      mvn clean package -Pall-in-one
    

Usage with Apache Spark

Stocator can be used easily with Apache Spark. There are different ways to use Stocator

Using spark-packages

Stocator deployed on spark-packages. This is the easiest form to integrate Stocator in Spark. Just follow stocator

Using Stocator without compiling Apache Spark

It is possible to execute Apache Spark with Stocator, without compiling Apache Spark. Just make sure that Stocator jars on the class path. Build Stocator with

	mvn clean package -Pall-in-one

Directory stocator/target contains standalone jar stocator-X.Y.Z-jar-with-dependencies.jar.

The best is to extend Spark's class path to include Stocator jar. Edit conf/spark-defaults.conf and add Stocator to the class path. For example

spark.driver.extraClassPath=/<PATH>/stocator/target/stocator-X-Y-Z-jar-with-dependencies.jar
spark.executor.extraClassPath=/<PATH>/stocator/target/stocator-X-Y-Z-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Another option is to run Apache Spark with

./bin/spark-shell --jars stocator-X.Y.Z-jar-with-dependencies.jar

However this is less adviced, as Spark will copy Stocator jar to the executors, which may consume time.

Using Stocator with Apache Spark compilation

Less recommended, only for advanced users who want to recompile Spark. Both main pom.xml and core/pom.xml of Spark should be modified. add to the <properties> of the main pom.xml

<stocator.version>X.Y.Z</stocator.version>

add stocator dependency to the main pom.xml

 <dependency>
      <groupId>com.ibm.stocator</groupId>
      <artifactId>stocator</artifactId>
      <version>${stocator.version}</version>
      <scope>${hadoop.deps.scope}</scope>
  </dependency>

modify core/pom.xml to include stocator

<dependency>
      <groupId>com.ibm.stocator</groupId>
      <artifactId>stocator</artifactId>
 </dependency>

Compile Apache Spark with Haddop support as described here

General requirements

Stocator verifies that

mapreduce.fileoutputcommitter.marksuccessfuljobs=true

If not modified, the default value of mapreduce.fileoutputcommitter.marksuccessfuljobs is true.

Configuration keys

Stocator uses configuration keys that can be configured via spark's core-site.xml or provided in run time without using core-site.xml. To provide keys in run time use SparkContext variable with

sc.hadoopConfiguration.set("KEY","VALUE")

For usage with core-site.xml, see the configuration template located under conf/core-site.xml.template.

Stocator and IBM Cloud Object Storage (IBM COS)

Stocator allows to access IBM Cloud Object Storage via cos:// schema. The general URI is the form

cos://<bucket>.<service>/object(s)

where bucket is object storage bucket and <service> identifies configuration group entry.

Using multiple service names

Each <service> may be any text, without special characters. Each service may use it's specific credentials and has different endpoint. By using multiple <service> allows to use different endpoints simultaneously.

For example, service=myObjectStore, then URI will be of the form

cos://<bucket>.myObjectStore/object(s)

and configuration keys will have prefix fs.cos.myObjectStore. If none provided, the default value is service, e.g.

cos://<bucket>.service/object(s)

and configuration keys will have prefix fs.cos.service.

Reference Stocator in the core-site.xml

Configure Stocator in conf/core-site.xml

<property>
	<name>fs.stocator.scheme.list</name>
	<value>cos</value>
</property>
<property>
	<name>fs.cos.impl</name>
	<value>com.ibm.stocator.fs.ObjectStoreFileSystem</value>
</property>
<property>
	<name>fs.stocator.cos.impl</name>
	<value>com.ibm.stocator.fs.cos.COSAPIClient</value>
</property>
<property>
	<name>fs.stocator.cos.scheme</name>
	<value>cos</value>
</property>

Configuration keys

Stocator COS connector expose "fs.cos." keys prefix. For backward compatibility Stocator also supports "fs.s3d" and "fs.s3a" prefix, where "fs.cos" has the highest priority and will overwrite other keys, if present.

COS Connector configuration with IAM

To work with IAM and provide api key please switch to the relevant ibm-sdk branch depends on the Stocator version you need. For example for Stocator 1.0.24 release, switch to 1.0.24-ibm-sdk, for Stocator master 1.0.25-SNAPSHOT, switch to 1.0.25-SNAPSHOT-IBM-SDK and so on.

You will need to build Stocator manually, for example using 1.0.24-ibm-sdk branch:

git clone https://github.com/SparkTC/stocator
cd stocator
git fetch
git checkout -b 1.0.24-ibm-sdk origin/1.0.24-ibm-sdk
mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true

You now need to include the target/stocator-1.0.24-SNAPSHOT-IBM-SDK.jar into class path of Spark. Follow section Using Stocator without compiling Apache Spark

Configure Stocator

The next step if to configure Stocator with your COS credentials. The COS credentials is of the form

{
  "apikey": "123",
  "endpoints": "https://cos-service.bluemix.net/endpoints",
  "iam_apikey_description": "Auto generated apikey during resource-key operation for Instance - abc",
  "iam_apikey_name": "auto-generated-apikey-123",
  "iam_role_crn": "role",
  "iam_serviceid_crn": "identity-123::serviceid:ServiceId-XYZ",
  "resource_instance_id": "abc"
}

The following is the list of the Stocator configuration keys. <service> can be any value, for example myCOS

Key Info Mandatory value
fs.cos.<service>.iam.api.key API key mandatory value of apiKey
fs.cos.<service>.iam.service.id Service ID mandatory Value of iam_serviceid_crn. In certain cases you need only value after :serviceid:
fs.cos.<service>.endpoint COS endpoint mandatory Open link from endpoints and choose relevant endpoint. This endpoint should go here

Example, configure <service> as myCOS:

<property>
	<name>fs.cos.myCos.iam.api.key</name>
	<value>123</value>
</property>
<property>
	<name>fs.cos.myCos.endpoint</name>
	<value>http://s3-api.us-geo.objectstorage.softlayer.net</value>
</property>
<property>
	<name>fs.cos.myCos.iam.service.id</name>
	<value>ServiceId-XYZ</value>
</property>

Now you can use URI

cos://mybucket.myCos/myobject(s)

An optional, it is possible to provide existing token instead of using API key. Instead of providing fs.cos.myCos.iam.api.key, Stocator supports fs.cos.myCos.iam.api.token that may contain value of the existing token. When token is expired, Stocator will throw 403 exception. It's the user responsibility to provide long activation token or re-create token outside of Stocator.

COS Connector configuration without IAM

The following is the list of the configuration keys. <service> can be any value, for example myCOS

Key Info Mandatory
fs.cos.<service>.access.key Access key mandatory
fs.cos.<service>.secret.key Secret key mandatory
fs.cos.<service>.session.token Session token optional
fs.cos.<service>.endpoint COS endpoint mandatory
fs.cos.<service>.v2.signer.type Signer type optional

Example, configure <service> as myCOS:

<property>
	<name>fs.cos.myCos.access.key</name>
	<value>ACCESS KEY</value>
</property>
<property>
	<name>fs.cos.myCos.endpoint</name>
	<value>http://s3-api.us-geo.objectstorage.softlayer.net</value>
</property>
<property>
	<name>fs.cos.myCos.secret.key</name>
	<value>SECRET KEY</value>
</property>
<property>
	<name>fs.cos.myCos.session.token</name>
	<value>SESSION TOKEN</value>
</property>
<property>
	<name>fs.cos.myCos.v2.signer.type</name>
	<value>false</value>
</property>

Now you can use URI

cos://mybucket.myCos/myobject(s)

fs.stocator.glob.bracket.support false if true supports Hadoop string patterns of the form {ab,c{de, fh}}. Due to possible collision with object names, this mode prevents from create an object whose name contains {}
fs.cos.atomic.write false enable or disable atomic write to COS using conditional requests.
When the flag is set to true and the operation is create with overwrite == false
a conditional header will be used to handle race conditions for mutliple writers.
If the path gets created between fs.create and stream.close by an external writer
the close operation will fail and the object will not be written

Stocator and Object Storage based on OpenStack Swift API

Stocator allows to access OpenStack Swift API based object stores via unique schema swift2d://.

  • Uses streaming for object uploads, without knowing object size. This is unique to Swift connector and removes the need to store object locally prior uploading it.

  • Supports Swiftauth, Keystone V2, Keystone V3 Password Scope Authentication

  • Supports any object store that expose Swift API and supports different authentication models

  • Supports access to public containers. For example

      sc.textFile("swift2d://dal05.objectstorage.softlayer.net/v1/AUTH_ID/CONT/data.csv")

Swift connector optional configuration

Below is the optional configuration that can be provided to Stocator and used internally to configure HttpClient.

Configuration key Default Info
fs.stocator.MaxPerRoute 25 maximal connections per IP route
fs.stocator.MaxTotal 50 maximal concurrent connections
fs.stocator.SoTimeout 1000 low level socket timeout in milliseconds
fs.stocator.executionCount 100 number of retries for certain HTTP issues
fs.stocator.ReqConnectTimeout 5000 Request level connect timeout. Determines the timeout in milliseconds until a connection is established
fs.stocator.ReqConnectionRequestTimeout 5000 Request level connection timeout. Returns the timeout in milliseconds used when requesting a connection from the connection manager
fs.stocator.ReqSocketTimeout 5000 Defines the socket timeout (SO_TIMEOUT) in milliseconds, which is the timeout for waiting for data or, put differently, a maximum period inactivity between two consecutive data packets).
fs.stocator.joss.synchronize.time false Will disable JOSS to synchronize time with the server. Setting this value to 'false' will badly impact on temp url. However this will reduce HEAD on account which might be problematic if the user doesn't has access rights to HEAD an account
fs.stocator.tls.version false if not provided, then system choosen is the default. In certain cases user may setup custom value, like TLSv1.2

Configure Stocator's schemas (optional)

By default Stocator exposes swift2d:// for Swift API and cos:// for IBM Cloud Object Storage. It possible to configure Stocator to expose different schema.

The following example, will configure Stocator to respond to swift:// in addition to swift2d://. This is useful, so users doesn't need to modify existing jobs that already uses hadoop-openstack connector. Below the example, how to configure Stocator to respond both to swift:// and swift2d://

<property>
	<name>fs.stocator.scheme.list</name>
	<value>swift2d,swift</value>
</property>
<!-- configure stocator as swift2d:// -->
<property>
	<name>fs.swift2d.impl</name>
	<value>com.ibm.stocator.fs.ObjectStoreFileSystem</value>
</property>
<property>
	<name>fs.stocator.swift2d.impl</name>
	<value>com.ibm.stocator.fs.swift.SwiftAPIClient</value>
</property>
<property>
	<name>fs.stocator.swift2d.scheme</name>
	<value>swift2d</value>
</property>
<!-- configure stocator as swift:// -->
<property>
	<name>fs.swift.impl</name>
	<value>com.ibm.stocator.fs.ObjectStoreFileSystem</value>
</property>
<property>
	<name>fs.stocator.swift.impl</name>
	<value>com.ibm.stocator.fs.swift.SwiftAPIClient</value>
</property>
<property>
	<name>fs.stocator.swift.scheme</name>
	<value>swift</value>
</property>

Examples

Persists results in IBM Cloud Object Storage

val data = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
val distData = sc.parallelize(data)
distData.saveAsTextFile("cos://mybucket.service/one1.txt")

Listing bucket mydata directly with a REST client will display

one1.txt
one1.txt/_SUCCESS
one1.txt/part-00000-taskid
one1.txt/part-00001-taskid
one1.txt/part-00002-taskid
one1.txt/part-00003-taskid
one1.txt/part-00004-taskid
one1.txt/part-00005-taskid
one1.txt/part-00006-taskid
one1.txt/part-00007-taskid

Using dataframes

val squaresDF = spark.sparkContext.makeRDD(1 to 5).map(i => (i, i * i)).toDF("value","square")
squaresDF.write.format("parquet").save("cos://mybucket.service/data.parquet")

Running Terasort

Follow

https://github.com/ehiggs/spark-terasort

Setup Stocator with COS as previosuly explained. In the example we use bucket teradata and service =service

Step 1:

export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx2g -XX:MaxPermSize=512M -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=512m"

Step 2:

./bin/spark-submit --driver-memory 2g --class com.github.ehiggs.spark.terasort.TeraGen /spark-terasort/target/spark-terasort-1.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar 1g cos://teradata.service/terasort_in

Step 3:

./bin/spark-submit --driver-memory 2g --class com.github.ehiggs.spark.terasort.TeraSort /target/spark-terasort-1.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar 1g cos://teradata.service/terasort_in cos://teradata.service/terasort_out

Step 4:

./bin/spark-submit --driver-memory 2g --class com.github.ehiggs.spark.terasort.TeraValidate /target/spark-terasort-1.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar cos://teradata.service/terasort_out cos://teradata.service/terasort_validate

Functional tests

Copy

src/test/resources/core-site.xml.tempate to src/test/resources/core-site.xml

Edit src/test/resources/core-site.xml and configure Swift access details. Functional tests will use container from fs.swift2d.test.uri. To use different container, change drivertest to different name. Container need not to be exists in advance and will be created automatically.
