# Deployment with hdt

This document provides a way to start an HStreamDB cluster quickly using the deployment tool hdt.

# Pre-Require

  • Start HStreamDB requires an operating system kernel version greater than at least Linux 4.14. Check with command:

    uname -r
    
    1
  • The local host needs to be able to connect to the remote server via SSH

  • Make sure remote server has docker installed.

  • Make sure that the log-in user has sudo execute privileges, and configure sudo without password.

  • For nodes which deploy HStore instances, mount the data disk to /mnt/data*/.

    • "*" Matching incremental numbers, start from zero
    • one disk should mount to one directory. e.g. if we have two data disks /dev/vdb and /dev/vdc, then /dev/vdb should mount to /mnt/data0 and /dev/vdc should mount to /mnt/data1

# Deploy hdt on the control machine

We'll use a deployment tool hdt to help us set up the cluster. The binaries are available here: https://github.com/hstreamdb/deployment-tool/releases.

  1. Log in to the control machine and download the binaries.

  2. Generate configuration template with command:

    ./hdt init
    
    1

    The current directory structure will be as follows after running the init command:

    ├── hdt
    └── template                 
        ├── config.yaml
        ├── grafana
        │   ├── dashboards
        │   └── datasources
        ├── prometheus
        └── script

# Update Config.yaml

template/config.yaml contains the template for the configuration file. Refer to the description of the fields in the file and modify the template according to your actual needs.

Here we will deploy a cluster on 3 nodes, each consisting of a HServer instance, a HStore instance and a Meta-Store instance as a simple example. For hstream monitor stack, refer to monitor components config.

The final configuration file may looks like:

global:
  user: "root"
  key_path: "~/.ssh/id_rsa"
  ssh_port: 22

hserver:
  - host: 172.24.47.175
  - host: 172.24.47.174
  - host: 172.24.47.173

hstore:
  - host: 172.24.47.175
    enable_admin: true
  - host: 172.24.47.174
  - host: 172.24.47.173

meta_store:
  - host: 172.24.47.175
  - host: 172.24.47.174
  - host: 172.24.47.173

# Set up cluster

# set up cluster with ssh key-value pair

./hdt start -c template/config.yaml -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -u root
1

# set up cluster with passwd

./hdt start -c template/config.yaml -p -u root
1

then type your password.

use ./hdt start -h for more information

# Remove cluster

remove cluster will stop cluster and remove ALL related data.

# remove cluster with ssh key-value pair

./hdt remove -c template/config.yaml -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -u root
1

# remove cluster with passwd

./hdt remove -c template/config.yaml -p -u root
1

then type your password.

# Detailed configuration items

This section describes in detail the meaning of each field in the configuration file. The configuration file is divided into three large sections: global configuration items, monitoring component configuration items and other component configuration items.

# Global

global:
  # # Username to login via SSH
  user: "root"
  # # The path of SSH identity file
  key_path: "~/.ssh/hstream-aliyun.pem"
  # # SSH service monitor port
  ssh_port: 22
  # # Replication factors of store metadata
  meta_replica: 3
  # # Local path to MetaStore config file
  meta_store_config_path: ""
  # # Local path to HStore config file
  hstore_config_path: ""
  # # HStore config file can be loaded from network filesystem, for example, the config file
  # # can be stored in meta store and loaded via network request. Set this option to true will
  # # force store load config file from its local filesystem.
  disable_store_network_config_path: true
  # # Local path to HServer config file
  hserver_config_path: ""
  # # Global container configuration
  container_config:
    cpu_limit: 200
    memory_limit: 8G
    disable_restart: true
    remove_when_exit: true

Global section set the default configuration value for all other configuration items. Here are some notes:

  • meta_replica set the replication factors of HStreamDB metadata. This value should not exceed the number of hstore instances.
  • meta_store_config_pathhstore_config_path and hserver_config_path are configuration file path for meta_storehstore and hserver in the control machine. If the paths are set, these configuration files will be synchronized to the specified location on the node where the respective instance is located, and the corresponding configuration items will be updated when the instance is started.
  • container_config let you set resource limitations for all containers.

Currently, HStreamDB monitor stack contains the following components:node-exporter, cadvisor, http-server, prometheus, grafana, alertmanager and hstream-exporter. The global configuration of the monitor stack is available in monitor field.
