Build maven-based RPM's

By Anonymous -
In an daily DevOps world it's necessary to have an easy to use mechanism for a revisionable software deployment. Especially when continuous integration comes to play, in terms of installing, upgrading and deleting software in an easy and proven way.
Why not use RPM for that? The great is, Maven can do that easily.

Prerequisites:
Eclipse (or IntelliJ or any other editor)
maven (command "mvn" has to work on command line)
git (command "git" should work on command line)
rpm build (sudo yum install rpm-build)

Building an RPM works on Linux systems like RedHat or CentOS.

Guide:
Build the project, so that the targets are available locally (skipTest if they fail on your PC, e.g. because of missing MongoDB or TomCat or ...). 

The following params are necessary to get it working properly:
directory = where the code should be placed after the RPM is rolled out
filemode = permissions for the installed code
username = UID 
groupname = GID
location = local location of the project which will be included in the RPM

 Add the RPM goal to your pom.xml:

<project>
... <build>
... <plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>rpm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>generate-rpm</id>
<goals><goal>rpm</goal></goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<license>Apache</license>
<distribution>Development</distribution>
<group>Applications/Internet</group>
<packager>ALO</packager>
<defineStatements>
<defineStatement>_unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0</defineStatement>
</defineStatements>
<mappings>
<mapping>
<directory>/var/lib/tomcat/webapps</directory>
<filemode>600</filemode>
<username>tomcat</username>
<groupname>tomcat</groupname>
<directoryIncluded>false</directoryIncluded>
<sources>
<source>
<location>target/test.war</location>
</source>
</sources>
</mapping>
</mappings>
<preinstallScriptlet>
<script>echo "Deploying test-api webapp"</script>
</preinstallScriptlet>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>...
</build>...
</project>

Build the RPM file
mvn rpm:rpm

Check the contents of the RPM file

rpm -q --filesbypkg -p target/rpm/<build-name>/RPMS/noarch/test-api-0.0.1-1.noarch.rpm

Deal with corrupted messages in Apache Kafka

By -
Under some strange circumstances it can happen that a message in a Kafka topic is corrupted. This happens often by using 3rd party frameworks together with Kafka. Additionally, Kafka < 0.9 has no lock at Log.read() at the consumer read level, but has a lock on Log.write(). This can cause a rare race condition, as described in KAKFA-2477 [1]. Probably a log entry looks like: ERROR Error processing message, stopping consumer: (kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$) kafka.message.InvalidMessageException: Message is corrupt (stored crc = xxxxxxxxxx, computed crc = yyyyyyyyyy Kafka-Tools Kafka stores the offset of every consumer in Zookeeper. To read out the offsets, Kafka provides handy tools [2]. But also zkCli.sh can be used, at least to display the consumer and the stored offsets. First we need to find the consumer for a topic (> Kafka 0.9): bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --zookeeper management01:2181 --describe --group test Prior to Kafka 0.9 the only possibility to get this i

Hive query shows ERROR "too many counters"

By Anonymous -
A hive job face the odd " Too many counters:"  like Ended Job = job_xxxxxx with exception 'org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.counters.LimitExceededException(Too many counters: 201 max=200)' FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapRedTask Intercepting System.exit(1) These happens when operators are used in queries ( Hive Operators ). Hive creates 4 counters per operator, max upto 1000, plus a few additional counters like file read/write, partitions and tables. Hence the number of counter required is going to be dependent upon the query.  To avoid such exception, configure " mapreduce.job.counters.max " in mapreduce-site.xml to a value above 1000. Hive will fail when he is hitting the 1k counts, but other MR jobs not. A number around 1120 should be a good choice. Using " EXPLAIN EXTENDED " and " grep -ri operators | wc -l " print out the used numbers of operators. Use this value to tweak the MR s
