Prerequisites
-------------

* Java 7 (or higher)
* Apache Mesos 0.19 or newer
* Exhibitor Standalone jar file (or `mvn` to build it)
* Zookeeper archive file

Clone and build the project

# git clone https://github.com/CiscoCloud/exhibitor-mesos-framework.git
# cd exhibitor-mesos-framework
# ./gradlew jar

Build Exhibitor Standalone if necessary (**NOTE**: version built with Gradle may be affected by [this issue](https://github.com/Netflix/exhibitor/issues/235) so we use [Maven build](https://github.com/Netflix/exhibitor/wiki/Building-Exhibitor#maven) in this example):

# mkdir tmp-exhibitor && cd tmp-exhibitor
# wget https://raw.github.com/Netflix/exhibitor/master/exhibitor-standalone/src/main/resources/buildscripts/standalone/maven/pom.xml
# mvn clean package
# cp target/exhibitor-*.jar ..
# cd .. && rm -rf tmp-exhibitor

Download Apache Zookeeper distribution if you don't have one (or place the archive to the working folder):

# wget http://apache.cp.if.ua/zookeeper/zookeeper-3.4.6/zookeeper-3.4.6.tar.gz

Download Oracle JDK distribution (or place the archive to the working folder). **NOTE**: please pay attention it MUST be Oracle JDK (not OpenJDK and not JRE) as Exhibitor relies on `jps` calls:

# wget --no-check-certificate --no-cookies --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u45-b14/jdk-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gz

Environment Configuration
--------------------------

Before running `./exhibitor-mesos.sh`, set the location of libmesos:

# export MESOS_NATIVE_JAVA_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/libmesos.so

If the host running scheduler has several IP addresses you may also need to

# export LIBPROCESS_IP=

Scheduler Configuration
----------------------

The scheduler is configured through the command line.

Following options are available:
```
Usage: scheduler [options]

-m | --master
Mesos Master addresses. Required.
-a | --api
Binding host:port for http/artifact server. Optional if EM_API env is set.
-u | --user
Mesos user. Required.
--ensemblemodifyretries
Number of retries to modify (add/remove server) ensemble. Defaults to 60. Optional.
--ensemblemodifybackoff
Backoff between retries to modify (add/remove server) ensemble in milliseconds. Defaults to 1000. Optional.
-d | --debug
Debug mode. Optional. Defaults to false.

```

Run the scheduler
-----------------

Start the Exhibitor scheduler using this command:

# ./exhibitor-mesos.sh scheduler --master master:5050 --user root --api http://master:6666

Quick start
-----------

In order not to pass the API url to each CLI call lets export the URL as follows:

```
# export EM_API=http://master:6666
```

First lets start 1 Exhibitor with the default settings. Further in the readme you can see how to change these from the defaults.

```
# ./exhibitor-mesos.sh add 0
Added servers 0

cluster:
server:
id: 0
state: Added
constraints: hostname=unique
exhibitor config:
shared config overrides:
cpu: 0.2
mem: 256.0
sharedConfigChangeBackoff: 10000
port: auto
```

You now have a cluster with 1 server that is not started.

```
# ./exhibitor-mesos.sh status
cluster:
server:
id: 0
state: Added
constraints: hostname=unique
exhibitor config:
shared config overrides:
cpu: 0.2
mem: 256.0
sharedConfigChangeBackoff: 10000
port: auto
```

Each server requires some basic configuration.

```
# ./exhibitor-mesos.sh config 0 --configtype zookeeper --zkconfigconnect 192.168.3.1:2181 --zkconfigzpath /exhibitor/config --zookeeper-install-directory /tmp/zookeeper --zookeeper-data-directory /tmp/zkdata
Updated configuration for servers 0

cluster:
server:
id: 0
state: Added
constraints: hostname=unique
exhibitor config:
zkconfigzpath: /exhibitor/config
zkconfigconnect: 192.168.3.1:2181
configtype: zookeeper
shared config overrides:
zookeeper-install-directory: /tmp/zookeeper
zookeeper-data-directory: /tmp/zkdata
cpu: 0.2
mem: 256.0
sharedConfigChangeBackoff: 10000
port: auto
```

Now lets start the server. The state should change from `Added` to `Stopped` meaning the task is waiting for resources to be offered.

```
# ./exhibitor-mesos.sh start 0
Started servers 0

cluster:
server:
id: 0
state: Stopped
constraints: hostname=unique
exhibitor config:
zkconfigzpath: /exhibitor/config
zkconfigconnect: 192.168.3.1:2181
configtype: zookeeper
shared config overrides:
zookeeper-install-directory: /tmp/zookeeper
zookeeper-data-directory: /tmp/zkdata
cpu: 0.2
mem: 256.0
sharedConfigChangeBackoff: 10000
port: auto
```

Now as we don't know where the server we may ask for the cluster status to see where the endpoint is.

```
# ./exhibitor-mesos.sh status
cluster:
server:
id: 0
state: Running
endpoint: http://slave0:31000/exhibitor/v1/ui/index.html
constraints: hostname=unique
exhibitor config:
zkconfigzpath: /exhibitor/config
zkconfigconnect: 192.168.3.1:2181
port: 31000
configtype: zookeeper
shared config overrides:
zookeeper-install-directory: /tmp/zookeeper
zookeeper-data-directory: /tmp/zkdata
cpu: 0.2
mem: 256.0
sharedConfigChangeBackoff: 10000
port: auto
```

By now you should have a single Exhibitor instance running. Here's how you stop it:

```
# ./exhibitor-mesos.sh stop 0
Stopped servers 0
```

If you want to remove the server from the cluster completely you may skip `stop` step and call `remove` directly (this will call `stop` under the hood anyway):

```
./exhibitor-mesos.sh remove 0
Removed servers 0
```

Typical Operations
===================

Changing the location of Zookeeper data
---------------------------------------

```
# ./exhibitor-mesos.sh stop 0
Stopped servers 0

# ./exhibitor-mesos.sh config 0 --zookeeper-data-directory /tmp/exhibitor_zkdata
Updated configuration for servers 0

cluster:
server:
id: 0
state: Added
constraints: hostname=unique
exhibitor config:
zkconfigzpath: /exhibitor/config
zkconfigconnect: 192.168.3.1:2181
configtype: zookeeper
shared config overrides:
zookeeper-install-directory: /tmp/zookeeper
zookeeper-data-directory: /tmp/exhibitor_zkdata
cpu: 0.2
mem: 256.0
sharedConfigChangeBackoff: 10000
port: auto
```
